Edina Hibs Football Club were originally in control and named on the most recent lease at Bingham Park, but after an un-constituted split in the club in 2013, Edina Hibs Football Club lost control of the lease to a newly formed team who re-named themselves Edina Hibs Community Football Club to wrestle control from Edina Hibs Football Club. Edina Hibs Community Football Club then renamed to Portobello in 2016. This split and losing control of the lease delayed our plans as we had to re-model and re organise the club.
