History

Cheadle Heath Nomads was formed in 1919, immediately after the First World War The club is, therefore approaching its centenary. A photograph of the team around that time shows a bizarre combination of ages was necessary to get a team together and for obvious reasons.

With the war over a group of individuals (Messrs. Sanderson, Bentley, Hopwood, Hulme, Johnson, Taylor and Nuttall) began a fund raising project to raise £1000 (some money in those days) to buy the piece of land 'on the other side of the bridge' in Cheadle (as opposed to Cheadle Heath!) to create a sports club for the area and in 1921 the club opened with Cheadle Heath Nomads at its core, although it also provided facilities for Cricket, Tennis and Ladies' Hockey.

The gentlemen named above became the first Trustees of the club and the club remains a Trusteeship, owning its own land with all the pros and cons that entails.

Nomads joined the Lancashire and Cheshire AFL and, after a brief break in 1927 stayed in the L&C until 1994.

The club struggled for money in the 1930's and even changed its club colours from green and yellow quarters to white. Every player had to bring his own white shirt! The colours changed again to claret and blue after the 2ndWorld War and they remain the club's colours today.

The club thrived immediately after the 2ndWorld War with some improvements in infrastructure with the erection of a Nissan hut with a bar etc. and the teams became hugely successful, especially in the early 1950's. Players at that time such as Doug Berry, Johnny Whittaker, Bob Stuart etc. became the backbone of the club for several years after they had finished playing!

Nomads had often contemplated moving into the Mid Cheshire League (now The Cheshire League) but had been constrained by the presence of cricket with a corner of the football pitch forming part of the cricket outfield. With the demise of the cricket section (tennis and hockey had finished already) and success on the field a step up into the Mid Cheshire League was the obvious way to go.

The hard-working committee, based around Roy Welsh and Jim Hardie had been strengthened by the Gibbons family (George, Dave and John) and the club moved forward with confidence.

Winning the 2nd. Division in its first season, Nomads consolidated in the First Division until 2004 when it merged with Linotype F C. Linotype were in the same league (now The Cheshire League) but were having problems retaining the facilities at The Silver Wings Club in Timperley.

At the same time Nomads were struggling both on and off the field (Roy Welsh and George Gibbons holding the fort) and a merger of the two organisations made sense, especially as the committee would incorporate two grafters in Brian McGuinness and Jim Calderbank. Cheadle Heath Nomads became Linotype Cheadle Heath Nomads.

There then followed a generally satisfactory playing record until the Cheshire Football League championship was won in season 2013-14. Nomads has remained in the top echelons of the league since (coming 2nd, 5th. and 4th.)

Over the same period there were significant improvements to the playing surface and the facilities with the addition of new changing rooms, the erection of a 50 seater stand and a significant spend on improving the drainage, all with a view to moving into the NWCFL for season 2019/20

The re-structuring of the NWCFL for season 2018/19, however, provided an opportunity too good to miss whilst at the same time providing a significant challenge for a group of individuals to do two years work in one. George Gibbons (the same one), Steve Jenkins, Ian Taylor and Paul Farmer have put in a mountain of work and with Roy Welsh (the same one) steering the ship, especially financially, the club's facilities will soon include floodlights (by the start of the season), hard standing and new barriers, standing accommodation, spectator toilets etc. - and with more improvements to come.

It also provided an opportune time for the club to change its name back to the original Cheadle Heath Nomads F.C. in time for its centenary next year.
