Barkingside FC - Some local History

The club was formed in 1898, playing in the Ilford League.
They gained their first honour after World War I sharing the Championship of the Ilford League. 

They were promoted to the Isthmian League for the first time in 2012–13 after finishing 2nd in the Essex Senior League. They also won the Essex Senior League Cup for the second time, achieving a record 9–1 win over Bowers & Pitsea in the final. 

At the end of the 2013/2014 season, it was announced that after 56 years of playing at the Oakside, that the club would be ground-sharing at Cricklefield Stadium in Ilford, home of Ilford F.C.
Capacity 3,500 with 216 covered seats!

Cricklefields Stadium is also where I train for Ilford Athletics club on a Tuesday night.
