The Home of Chelmsford City Football Club

Chelmsford City returned to the Borough, and their new home, in the season of 2006/07. In April 2004, the Borough Council agreed to invest in the already established Melbourne Park Athletics Centre.

The completion of the project would result in Chelmsford Sport & Athletics Centre affirming its position as one the leading sports facilities of its type in the region and provide a much-awaited permanent home for the club. The improvements continue to directly benefit the local community and other centre users. In a formal agreement with the Council, Chelmsford City FC is permitted to hire the pitch to play First Team home matches here and use the stand and other ancillary facilities during these match times.

The building works commenced in July 2005, with the aim of enabling City to hold their inaugural match early in 2006 and the first game back at Melbourne against former landlords Billericay Town was played in front of a capacity crowd. City won the game 2-1, with Jamie Richards gaining the first ever goal at the new stadium on 21 minutes.
