On this day two years ago, it was a historic Day for Aveley Football Club.

Two years ago on the 13th of May 2016, the club finally completed the sale of its home since 1952 at 'Mill Field' and purchased it's new land.

Planning permission for Aveley FC new ground was granted back in 2014, and on 13th May 2016 the green light has been given for work to commence.

Chief Executive Craig Johnson had this to say a couple of years ago:
"I am delighted to be able to announce that all contracts were completed this afternoon on the sale of Mill Field and the land purchase.

Building work will be commencing in the next 4 weeks. This is an exciting time for everyone connected to the club and reward for many years hard work.”

Now two years later, in that time we’ve had significant change both on and off the pitch.

We’ve moved into Parkside and with fantastic work with our local community we have increased our attendance by 201.1%, which is the highest across all leagues in the Bostik Division, 25% more than second placed Walton Casuals who were promoted, and 3rd places Haringey Borough who were also promoted.

From when our building started on our new ground, we went from Justin Gardner to Terry Spillane and now to James Webster as the man at the helm of the club.

And after a great first season at Parkside, with our unbelievable facilities and a team who believe in achieving something amazing assembled for the 2018/19 campaign. The sky is the limit for this football club and our local village community.

Next season we hope to make even greater strides to use this facility to benefit our local community and hope to take us to the next level.

We now have the Conifa Paddy Power World Cup coming to Parkside for three games, on the 5th, 7th and 9th of June, make sure not to miss that, details can be found on the Confia homepage where you can buy match tickets.

We will be showing FIFA World Cup Games this summer in our incredible bar with our fantastic projector screen, to hopefully see England defeat Panama and the world.
