The History of Cullercoats F.C.


Cullercoats F.C. was founded in 1915.

Their home ground is Links Avenue, Cullercoats, Tyne & Wear NE30 3DH.

Cullercoats was originally known as Culver Cots (Culver is another name for Doves – so home for Doves, hence the Club logo). If we remember rightly there was some kind of breeding place for doves on the site which is now the Dove Marine Labs in Cullercoats Bay.

Team Colours are black and white quarters, black shorts and black socks.

Second colours are red and black quarters, black shorts and black socks.

Age ranges are 8 years to Senior.

The Junior setup, named FC Cullercoats, was formed for the 2006/07 season and were formerly known as 'Percy Main Tyne'. As of season 2008/09 they will drop the FC from the beginning of their name.

The Senior side were also named 'Percy Main Tyne' but have reverted to Cullercoats F.C. for the 2006/2007 season where they will be competing in the Northern Football Alliance Second Division.
