Victory Park — also known as The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium for sponsorship purposes — is a sports stadium in Chorley, Lancashire and the home ground of Chorley Football Club.
The stadium has a maximum capacity of 4,300 spectators.
History
Victory Park, the home of Chorley Football Club since 1920, has a rich history rooted in the aftermath of World War One. Construction on the former ash tip began in 1919, with the club acquiring the land for £868. Before settling at Victory Park, Chorley FC played at Dole Lane, Rangletts Recreation Ground, and St Georges Park. The ground’s historical peak attendance was over 9,000 in a 1923 FA Cup tie against Darwen. Another notable attendance was over 4,000 for a 1945 FA Cup match against Accrington, preceding the destruction of the wooden main stand by fire.
From 2015 to 2019, the century-old stadium has drawn crowds of over 3,500 for significant matches against teams like Guiseley, Altrincham, Spennymoor, Fleetwood, and Doncaster in playoffs and FA Cup matches.
