DORKING FC - BACK IN TOWN

elcome to Dorking FC at Westhumble - our Whome venue for what promises to be quite a season in the history of Dorking FC, both on and off the field.

More of that in a moment, but first I would like to extend a warm welcome to our visitors today - all the players, management, staff and supporters of Beckenham Town.

The first qualifying round of the FA Vase is an exciting game, particularly for our young local players, many of whom are only half a dozen games into their senior playing careers. It’s a chance for clubs to make a bit of a name for themselves in this level of non-league football and we know Beckenham Town will be as keen to make a mark as we will. Our visitors play one step above us in the football pyramid, so it’s both a challenge and an opportunity for our team.

No one at this level of non-league football could possibly pay more attention to detail before every match than our manager Danny Fox so we know that, whatever the outcome today, the team could not have been better prepared.

The arrival of Danny and his coaching team in the summer has seen the club make huge strides in its vision of reconnecting the club to the town and building a youthful team, full of locally based players proud to represent their hometown club. The win last week, over a Frimley Green team full of players who decided against staying here when we made the managerial change, was a fully deserved reward for their hard work so far. The performance also showed how much progress they have made in such a short space of time. There’s undoubtedly much more to come from both the management team and this group of players. 04 The club’s aims, the new look team and the year history of Dorking FC. After some false dawns, style of play are clearly appeals to local people. the builders have moved in and work has begun More than half our team is from Dorking or the on rebuilding our ancestral home ground at immediately surrounding villages and it’s probably Meadowbank.

Dorking FC. With the clubhouse collapsing and structures deemed unsafe, Meadowbank, the Chicks’ home for 60 years, was condemned and the club was forced into a nomadic existence to complete the season’s fixtures. One of the most picturesque and iconic non-league football grounds in the south-east was now a ruin. With the site earmarked for development by a leading supermarket, there seemed little hope that the football ground or the club could survive.

“Meadowbank shortly after it was closed in 2013” Two seasons later and the future looks rather different. So what changed in the meantime?

Firstly, Dorking FC came under new ownership in May 2014 as the homeless club was saved from likely extinction by a group of friends - local businessmen and grassroots football enthusiasts – who converted it to a Community Interest Company, meaning the club would now be run as a social enterprise with any assets locked into community benefits. Secondly, the plan for reconnecting the club “The First Spade goes in at Meadowbank last week” to the community and working with other clubs to develop local, young talent to achieve Last week, the ‘first spade’ went in, marking the their potential in their home town caught start of building of the new Meadowbank - a the imagination of some visionary officers new stadium on the original site.

The start of rebuilding work today puts that final piece of the jigsaw in place.” “Of course, the iconic green stand is gone, and a more modern structure will rise in its place. Some people who’ve followed the club for a long time find that hard, but that was a football ground from the 1950s, and this is a ground that will take us in to the 2050s.”

“We still have our memories of how it was then and now’s the time to make a load of new memories for this and future generations.” “Artist’s Impression: The new Meadowbank”
