Clapton: Club Profile
All our meetings to date with Clapton came in Division 2 North of the Vauxhall Opel/Football League between 1985 and 1991. And our last three no doubt left the Tons in no doubt who had the upper hand between us; Boro’ winning 5-0 at home in January 1990 and then going on to do even more damage the next season. As we surged to the Division Two North title in 1990-1, scores of 7-1 (home) and 5-0 (away) showed who was boss.

It doesn’t seem like there is a car park at the ground, so you’ll have to see if you can find some space on the surrounding streets – residents’ only schemes pending.
