Recent former Association chairman and official club historian Jim Brown was instrumental, within a distinguished group of CCFC fans, who ensured the club’s old ground of 105 years, now a small patch of green within a Hillfields housing estate, is once more properly commemorated.  The unveiling of a new plaque took place earlier this week.

The old plaque, left behind once the historic home of CCFC was demolished, had been vandalised. The following press release about the the campaign to ensure the memorial was replaced, along with photos of the launch here tell the full story. Association Life President Joe Elliott and CCFPA committee member and Sky Blues legend Dave Bennett were present at the launch!
