Club History

The original home of Belstone Football Club was the old GEC Sports Ground in Wembley. In 1989 this became a housing estate. The teams were then nomads for a couple of seasons and the committee embarked on a search for a permanent home for the club.

Eventually a site was found that had become overgrown in Radlett, Hertfordshire. It had been a rugby pitch since 1922, more recently a football pitch until 1990. Between 1990 and 1992 the ground had not been maintained and, when first viewed, travellers had just moved off what used to be the pitch. In 1992, the club secured a lease on “The Medburn Ground” which is still home to Belstone Football Club today.

Many hours of hard work and a considerable amount of money has been spent enabling the club to build a new clubhouse and changing rooms, develop the main pitch and surrounding areas. A second pitch was added in 2012, the car park area extended and now additional pitches to accommodate the youth section and provide some of the best football facilities in Hertfordshire.

This year the club has embarked on an ambitious program of work to improve the clubs facilities in readiness for Step 6 football, should the team be successful in its application. On 30 April the Club won the HSCL Premier Division with a 2-1 win away at Oracle Components and with a game to spare thus enabling us to gain promotion from step 7 to step 6 for the first time in the club’s short history.
