LITTLE STOKE FOOTBALL CLUB
EST 1969

Little Stoke Athletic Football Club first formed in the 1950’s by Percy Plummer
and Cab Callaway playing at a ground in Bush Avenue, Little Stoke which is
now the allotments.

They then moved to gypsy patch lane playing between the Magpie Pub and
the railway line on one of the biggest pitches in Bristol.
The clubs 1st treasurer was a Geordie and thus the team kit became Black &
White stripes which remains in place today.

The club first played in the Bristol & District league

Having cup success in the 1950’s winning the minor cup.
The club then moved up to what is now Little Stoke Park and the players built
their own changing rooms out of corrugated iron sheets with the help of a
local builder Fred Dunscombe.

The Athletic name was dropped and Little Stoke FC formed in 1969 and the
club moved to the Bristol Suburban league winning various honours over the
years. Premier 1 – runners up 2015/16, Premier 1 – champions – 2013/14,
Bosley cup winners 2013/14, GFA Senior Amatuers Cup Runners Up 2013,
BOSLEY CUP – Runners up 2012/13, Division 3 League Champions
2000/01, Premier 2 League Champions 2010/11

The club became well established in the higher divisions of the league over a
30 year period but were held back from promoting to the Gloucestershire
County League by the ground facilities.

In 2015 the club set about upgrading the changing rooms with the players
giving their time freely to upgrade the referees room and in 2016 the club
were duly elected members of the league. A £700K extension to the
community hall is planned for completion in 2017 meaning direct entry onto
the pitch and a supporters viewing room with refreshment facilities.
