Bacup Borough Football Club was established in 1879. Their first match to take place at their current Brian Boys West View Stadium was not until 1889 when one of the founder members of the English Football League Accrington Stanley played there in front of over 1,000 spectators. In 1982 Bacup Borough became founder members of the North West Counties League, this following the amalgamation of the Cheshire League & the Lancashire Combination. Bacup Borough Football Club continue to play in the NWCFL and from the start of the 2015/2016 season the historic crest has been brought back and there are exciting developments on and off the pitch. Among these is the creation of two junior teams – an U15 team and an U18 team – who will compete under the banner of Bacup Borough FC. We look forward confidently to the coming season.
