About

Club Thorne CIC is the legal body behind Club Thorne Colliery, a growing community football club now competing at Step 6 of the National Football Pyramid. We run a full junior section for ages 3–18, offering a clear player pathway from grassroots to senior football. Our goal is to develop local talent and strengthen ties across the community. The Board of Directors oversees the club’s vision and strategy, ensuring long-term success both on and off the pitch.

Football in Thorne and Moorends has long been a Saturday afternoon ritual for folks attending games, standing on the terrace, cheering on young local players. The club has a very special place in the hearts of local residents and there is still an immense sense of pride when a young local resident pulls on the club colours of the football club.

The old stand still remains, the same band of loyal supporters continue to attend and it continues to provide a social event in the calendar every week for people of all ages and backgrounds. We believe a successful football club both on and off the pitch will lead to a more cohesive community.
