Supporting Community Football at Club Thorne Colliery with Quality Signage

Club Thorne Colliery is more than just a football club, it’s a cornerstone of the local community. Founded in 1927 by the miners in the village, the club has a long and proud history of bringing people together. From running multiple sessions that benefit a wide range of people in the surrounding areas to continuously planning new ways to help even more, the club has always been about more than football.

A Stadium That Feels Like Home

The club’s stadium is just as historic as the team itself. Its main stand, built in the 1930s, is a major feature for a club of this size. On matchdays, the stadium welcomes around 150 fans, creating a friendly and intimate atmosphere. Volunteers dedicate themselves to ensuring that every visitor leaves with a smile, making the ground a welcoming place for both locals and visiting teams alike.

Outside of matchdays, the stadium serves as a hub for community projects and charity football matches, reflecting the club’s commitment to supporting the local area all year round.

Teams and Activities

Club Thorne Colliery fields its first team and U21s at the stadium, with U15s and U18s teams also occasionally playing here. While the vast junior section of the club operates elsewhere, the stadium remains an important focal point for football across age groups.

Sponsorship That Makes a Difference

Sponsorship is vital to the club, enabling upgrades to facilities, funding community projects, and supporting the day-to-day running of the club. With around 50 sponsors, mostly local businesses, visibility on matchdays is crucial. That’s where Parrot Signs & Graphics comes in, producing high-quality, affordable pitch-side hoardings and stadium signage that give sponsors excellent exposure while enhancing the matchday experience.

“We chose Parrot Signs because they are local to our area and produce these signs at an affordable rate for us. The quality of the signs is top class, and we could not recommend them enough!” — Cian Stringer, Club Thorne Colliery

Achievements and Ambitions

The club is celebrating a strong second season at this level, currently looking at an eighth-place finish despite off-pitch challenges. Looking ahead, Club Thorne Colliery has big plans for the stadium, including a new stand behind the goals and a permanent changing rooms facility to replace the temporary one after a fire.

“The club is in a good place, and we look forward to the future!” — Cian Stringer, Club Thorne Colliery
