WCFC Announcement

WCFC Announcement!!

Winlaton Community Football Club would like to share some fantastic news with its members and the local community. After many years of hard work and dedication we have finally had our proposal for Asset Transfer of Axwell View Football pitches accepted at Council Cabinet on 20th Feb 2024! Although there is still paperwork to be complete, this will see the club take on a 35 year lease of the football pitches and changing pavillion. This is fantastic news as it allows us to start planning to shape the future of the club which will give our members and local community the sporting facilities they deserve.

Whilst this is a long term project our first priority will be to secure the pitches and make the current changing pavillion usable where it meets FA standards. A lot of this can be done via funding but the club must also play its part in fundraising. Keep your eyes peeled for more info regarding our plans and how you can help shape the future of Axwell Playing Fields and Winlaton Community Football Club!

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us to date and we’d like to especially thank Liz Twist and the Blaydon and Winlaton Councillors for their assistance in pushing this project over the line. 👏👏👏

Another cup exit!

For the 2nd week running we exit another cup competition.

Steven Aiston opened the scoring after only 6 minutes, but Chemfica equalised only 5 minutes later. 1-1 at half time before Chemfica took the lead with around 20 minutes to go. A 3rd was added in injury time with a very harsh penalty being given that was put away.

Chemfica continue being our bogey team winning their 7th game out of 7 against us.

6 in a row

It’s 6 wins in a row for Winlaton as we come from behind to beat Premier Division Haltwhistle in the Bill Gardner Trophy.

An early goal from Liam Morris put us ahead before Andrew Wright saved a Haltwhistle penalty. Halty then scored 2 quick identical goals. Both headers from corners.

Si Reed was then brought down in the box and Ryan Creighton scored the resultant penalty levelling it up at 2-2 at half time.

Early in the second half it was the same again, Si Reed brought down and Ryan Creighton scoring the penalty. Matty Statton made it 4 before Halty scored their 3rd to keep the game interesting.

Liam Morris scored his 2nd to make it 5-3 which was followed up by a great own goal to finish things off.

CLUB STATEMENT – 11/1/23

After a good few years of hard work behind the scenes, Winlaton Community FC are excited to announce that we have received a license to take on the running of the pitches at Axwell View, Winlaton. 

We would like to show everyone our plans for the site. Our aim is to improve the land where the pitches are, creating a new hub for the local community. 

We have been in discussion with Gateshead Council for a lengthy period over future plans for the site. The council have recently ended their role in looking after local sports pitches due to budget cuts. We feel as a local community club it is our duty to residents and the younger generation to save our pitches and green area while also improving them so the local area will have a first class sports facility the community can be proud of. 

We have no plans to stop access to the site, the whole community will still be able to use the playing fields and also exercise there, walking etc. 

In the short time of looking after the pitches we have already noticed a number of problems with littering, dog fouling and wheel tracks on the pitch which has caused u15/u16s games to be postponed. We please ask for you to respect the area and help us improve the community. 

Any queries or concerns about our plans please get in touch with us at winlatoncommunityfootballclub@gmail.com
