FC Bolsover
FC Bolsover was newly established in 2017 and has made an
immediate impact in their league and is currently lying in 2nd
place. We recently caught up with their Chairman Cliff Thomas
to find out more about the club.
He told us, “I have been involved from
the first thoughts to concept of the Club.
Bolsover was a large town with a castle
steeped in the past Coal Industry, with no
semi-professional football team. Having
coached and set up FC Brimington, a
Sunday side since 2007, gaining notoriety
on ITV news.”
The chance for FC Bolsover to be
established came when Glapwell FC
Folded and the Team and management
was in limbo. It was at this moment
FC Bolsover was decided to commence
and take on the former league winning
side and management team to form FC
Bolsover in June 2016.
Cliff explained more about the new
set up and how they are getting along,
saying, “The most challenging aspects
have been finding a permanent base in
Bolsover as well as issues with the FA and
League regarding Contract Players and
Non fulfilment of Fixtures by other clubs.”
“The most rewarding things have been
building a club for the community and
building a football family in Bolsover. The
mood here now is excellent; determined,
happy and together. The season has gone
extremely well having reached the semi-
final of the Cup and being second in the
