A Short History

The current Flixton CC formed in the early 1890’s and played on Johnson’s Field on Woodsend Rd. It’s believed there was a rota back then to remove cows from the pitch on match days. The original ground was located on an area known as “The Flash” and was originally surrounded by open fields and lush greenery. It’s not quite the same now unfortunately! The club moved to their current home, then known as “The Athertons” in 1896. In 1914, the ground was acquired for the WWI “Dig for Victory” campaign before being re-laid upon hostilities end in 1919.

The club bought the ground in 1927 for £750 and went about improving facilities. These lasted up until the late ’60’s/early ’70’s, when the club amalgamated with Moorside Tennis Club and grants allowed a new pavilion building to be erected. The club have previously competed in the Manchester Association & the subsequent Manchester Cricket League, the Bolton & District League and the GMCL. The club has an active Crown Green Bowling section, Tennis, Table Tennis and Karate sections and a seasonal league darts team.

Club Administration 

FCSC is a private members club. We encourage and welcome visitors. It is run by a committee which is elected by a voting system, usually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The committee also meets monthly to discuss club issues and as a member you may submit any questions, concerns or ideas at any time by email to info@flixtoncricketandsportsclub.com. The administration of the club is transparent and accountable and the club’s finances are independently audited and published at the AGM. The club also employs a Club Manager.

Code of Conduct

We expect our members and visitors to conduct themselves with politeness, fairness and integrity both on and off their chosen field of play. It is the responsibility of everybody involved in the club to ensure it remains a safe place, free from discrimination, fear and where possible, risk.

Children must be supervised at all times. Any digression from this may result in a period of suspension from the club and in more serious cases (and after a full and fair investigation) expulsion. 

Complaints and Conflict Resolution

We want our members to enjoy every visit to the club.  However, we also acknowledge that sometimes things do not meet expectations. If this is the case your first line of communication would be with the Club Manager where hopefully, things can be resolved quickly and informally. If your concern is more serious or needs to be escalated, please contact the committee, info@flixtoncricketandsportsclub.com

Be assured, your complaint/concern will be taken seriously and you will receive a response.
