A fabulous relaunch for the Margate History website

Supporters of Margate Football Club – and football lovers in general- have been invited to explore a relaunched history website dedicated to the club HERE. We've taken a look, and it's rather fabulous!

The creators of the website have issued the following update:

The original Margate Football Club History website, painstakingly created by Jeff Trice more than 20 years ago, drew plaudits from across the football world. After a period of inactivity, the site, which is independent of the club, has been updated and enhanced with a small team – that included former Margate FC chairman Gordon Wallis who died in October 2024 - spending a year working on it. 

It includes details of every competitive match played since the club’s formation in the 19th Century until this season. There are also more than 1,100 in-depth player profiles (some of whom also played at the highest level of the sport), reports on memorable matches, special features, galleries of images as well as player and supporter memories.

Learn how Margate became Arsenal’s nursery club in the 1930s or the night England’s World Cup-winning trio of Hurst, Moore and Peters played at Hartsdown Park.

One of the supporters who is working on the new site, Jeremy Jacobs, said: “It is very sad that Gordon did not live to see the launch of the history site but we are sure he would have felt very proud that the club he loved has such a comprehensive chronicle of its rich history.

“It is all here, the highs - FA Cup giantkillings, league titles and big crowds - to the lows - relegations, financial woes and homelessness. Every aspect of the club’s existence is documented on the site, which is on a new, easy to navigate platform.”

Work will continue on the site and Margate supporters who have information, memories or memorabilia about the club are invited to contact the website team at https://www.margatefootballclubhistory.com/contacting-margate-football-club-history/
