The idea
TO ALL FOOTBALL FANS
Please help us today to publish a new football book telling the story of the 'Beautiful Game' in Ellesmere Port
The various chapters cover
1. Vauxhall Motors Football Club, 1963-date
2. Super heroes
3. Local heroes
4. Our footballing past, 1889-1924
5. York Road 1924-1968
6. The 'Glory Days' - winning the Cheshire County League Championship 4 times in 5 years, 1957-1962
7. Thornton Road Stadium 1968-1991
8. Ellesmere Port Town FC today from 2011
9/10. Local and Works football clubs
It would be good to get the Town's footballing memories distributed far and wide.
We should be really proud of what our forbears have achieved and the exciting future we could well have with all the amazing work going into training our youngsters today.
What we'll deliver
- 750 Football Memory books at cost price
- Pen pictures of 80+ professional and semi-professional footballers
- Raise the pride in our Town with their achievements
Why it's a great idea
The book has been requested by a goodly number of local people who, not only asked for it, but also contributed to it. It will bring pleasurable memories to many.
Telling this forgotten story of our innumerable successes will inspire people to work towards a new era of fame and fortune and put Ellesmere Port back on the sporting map for something many of us are already proud of.
The youngsters of the Town have little idea of its history. We are growing exponentially with many newcomers who have had the place described to them as a 'New Town'. In order to bring about a better sense of belonging and pride, it's important that they know our story.
Steps to get it done
- to sell at least 75% of the books at cost price by April 2027, a year from publication
