CLUB HISTORY
Brockenhurst FC History (22/11/07)

Brockenhurst were founded in 1898 and began life by playing on a pitch in close proximity to a well known local beauty spot, Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. The Badgers became founder members of the New forest League which they won five times as well as the Perkins Charity Cup which was won four times. prior to the outbreak of the First World War the club moved to play in a field between the Rose & Crown and the Snakecatcher public houses. Following the war Brockenhurst played in the Bournemouth League and between 1923-26 the Hampshire League. Brock finished bottom of the West Division in 1926 with only seven points and were relegated to the Bournemouth League. another ground move saw Brock play at Fathers Field but in 1931 council houses were built on this land and once again the Badgers were on the move, Black Knoll (opposite the Forest Park Hotel) became home. In 1933 the club returned to the New Forest League and won the Perkins Charity Cup. Two years later saw the Badgers move grounds once again with Oberfield in Rhinefield Road becoming the new venue. 1935 saw Brockenhurst enter the Hampshire League and celebrated with the winning of the New Forest Lads Cup. After the Second World War Brock played at Tile Barn until they moved to their present ground in Grigg lane in 1951. Brockenhurst were crowned Hampshire League Division Three Champions in 1960 as well as Bournemouth Senior Cup winners and were promoted to Division Two of the Hampshire League. The Badgers only lasted two seasons in this division because a runner up spot behind Andover Reserves secured promotion to Division One and the season was rounded off with the winning of the Hampshire Intermediate Cup. Unfortunately the 1964-65 season Brock finished one off the bottom and were relegated back to the Second Division. 1971 saw Brock finish top of the Second Division and returned to the pinnacle of the county league and a year later the Hampshire Senior Cup final was reached but Alton Town overcame the Badgers with a 1-0 win. The 1975-76 season saw the Badgers winning the Hampshire League Division One title under the managership of Jim Lawford finishing one point ahead of the now defunct Sholing Sports. In 1986 Brockenhurst became founder members of the Wessex League and have yet to taste success at this level, a 5th place in 01-02 the best finish to date. The 2001-02 season also saw the Badgers achieve a memorable FA Cup victory over non league giants Kingstonian. Season 2004-05 saw the club embark on an FA Cup run that ended in the 3rd qualifying round against Bath City.

Would moving kids' football to a summer game help improve the development of young footballers?
Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
