A club founded in the nineteenth century

Fakenham Town’s history stretches back to the early years of organised football, and the club has remained a part of the town’s sporting life through many changes in local and regional leagues. Its long existence reflects the importance of community football in Norfolk.

The move to Clipbush Lane

The club moved to its current ground, Clipbush Park, in 1996. The first match there was played on 12 October 1996, a 4–0 win over Tiptree United; the ground was officially opened on 16 July 1997 with a match against Watford. The venue was renamed The Daly Group Stadium when the club gained a ground sponsor in 2019/20. The club’s history page describes a seated stand for 250 spectators, a clubhouse and covered standing behind both goals.
