On Saturday 10 September 2011 The Most Reverend & Right Honourable Dr. John Sentamu, Archbishop of York helped Poppleton JFC celebrate the opening of their new clubhouse.
The new facilities include a four-changing room clubhouse with meeting and training areas, as well as official’s changing rooms and catering facilities. The project will benefit in excess of 300 players and more than 20 teams who play at the site. The project was funded with the help of a £225,000 grant from the Football Foundation.
