Eastwood Hanley F.C. was a football club based in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. They were founder members of the North West Counties Football League, finished runners in Division Two in 1984, gaining promotion to the Northern Premier League in 1987. They folded in 1997 due to diminishing gate receipts and by regular vandalism to their home ground club house. ==History== Situated in the Joiners Square area of the city (south of the main town Hanley), Eastwood played their home games at the Trentmill Road ground for the majority of their history. The club was established in 1946. In 1987, they joined the Northern Premier League Division One in its first season, and at their height were one of the best non-league teams in North Staffordshire rivalling Leek Town for the top position in the pyramid. Their one major honour came in 1986 when they won the Staffordshire Senior Cup. They were forced out of their Trentmill Road home in the early 1990s due to regular vandalism of the site and although they groundshared with Kidsgrove and Newcastle for a few seasons, interest in the club waned and gates decreased. The club eventually folded in 1997. There was a bid to revive the club in 2009 but no team has been formed as of 2012.〔(This is Staffordshire – Reviving former football club has my full support ) 23 September 2009〕 In June 2014 Eastwood Hanley as been revived starting at Junior level, they will have a number teams playing in grassroot leagues around Staffordshire.

Season 2014/15 saw the senior side be revived and they are currently playing on the bottom tier of the Non League Pyramid, The Staffordshire County League Division Two North. Home games have been played at Longton Rugby Club, Trentham Fields, Eastern Rise, Eastern Rise, Sir Stanley Matthews Way, Trentham Lakes, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ST4 8WG. This will hopefully change next season with the senior side moving back to the spiritual home of Trentmill Road. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eastwood Hanley F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
