About Chelmsford City FC

Chelmsford City Football Club exemplifies the spirit of grassroots football and community. Commonly referred to as "the Clarets" because of its historic kit colour and the affection of its supporters, the club plays out the familiar non-league story of English club football with a modest, resonant presence.

Formed in 1938 with antecedents stretching back to the 1870s, the club has pursued an enduring ambition to provide a competitive platform that reflects traditional English football while nurturing local identity in Essex. Its longevity highlights the resilience and dedication of many volunteers who have guided the Clarets through the ups and downs of non-league life.

Chelmsford City FC History and Achievements

Chelmsford's history is rooted in New Writtle Street, which served as the heart of Chelmsford football for over 60 years from 1938. In 1997 the club moved to Melbourne Stadium following redevelopment and housing projects. The move left the club much as it had been in competitive terms — continuing to oscillate between good runs and difficult spells, maintaining its place in the football hierarchy without a major sustained rise.

The club's journey reflects the realities of semi‑professional football, where ambition, community support and the occasional cup run shape the narrative season by season. Recognition within the club also values contributions beyond match results, celebrating the broader influence individuals and groups have on the club and local culture.

Chelmsford City FC Honours

Awards at the club extend across several categories, recognising a range of impacts. Categories such as Goal of the Season, Young Player of the Year and the Volunteer Excellence Award underline that achievements are measured not only by final scores but by wider contributions to the club's culture and community.

Chelmsford City FC Key Players

The club's character is embodied by its players. Scouting and recruitment look as much at temperament, work ethic and compatibility with the club's community‑centred values as at pure technical ability. That emphasis helps Chelmsford balance on‑pitch ambitions with the wider role the club plays locally.

For supporters seeking an elevated matchday experience, the club offers premium hospitality packages that include gourmet food, exclusive lounge access and pre‑match stadium tours, combining comfort with a sense of connection to the club.

Experience Chelmsford City FC live in action!

Matchdays at Melbourne Stadium deliver an "atmospheric intimacy": an open‑air, close‑quarters feel where weather and crowd combine to shape the occasion. The club's hospitality packages provide a more formal matchday option — gourmet food, exclusive areas and pre‑match tours — while the general admission experience remains rooted in authentic non‑league passion.

The stadium's proximity between supporters and players means every tackle, pass and goal carries heightened emotional impact, and cup occasions against higher‑division opponents often create particularly intense atmospheres.
