The club
Built by the people of Springfield
SWP Football Club began in 1968 as a Sunday side formed by factory workers from the south of the city. Six promotions later, we play in the Premier Division in front of one of the loudest home crowds in the country.
We are still supporter-owned. Every season ticket, shirt and matchday pie goes back into the first team, the academy and the community programmes that keep this club rooted in its neighbourhood.
