Welcome to the home of The Rams Army, the supporter’s club of AFC Croydon Athletic which is a member of the Combined Counties Football League.  The club is owned by the supporters and was formed in 2012 following the demise of Croydon Athletic FC.

Our aim is to support the club in any way we can.  This generally takes the form of financial support, but we also aim to assist with ground improvements, repairs and development as well providing vocal support for the team.

To celebrate Non League Day on Saturday 23rd March AFC Croydon Athletic are pleased to announce our “Football for a Fiver” initiative. All adults will pay just £5.00 to attend our fixture against Tadley Calleva on Saturday, kick-off 3pm. Under 16s will be admitted free of charge, so a family of 2 adults and four kids can enjoy an afternoon of football for only £10.00. You can take advantage of our 300 seat stand or watch from the terraces around the ground. We have a kitchen selling hot food and a fully licenced bar. You can even take your drink outside to watch the match. Come along and enjoy grass roots football and cheer on The Rams.

We launched our regular 1st Friday events with a bang on 2nd February with a fantastic live set from Kevin Montgomery who was ably supported by Michael Scott Boudreaux. The Country singer/songwriter from Nashville and Michael who hails from Louisiana played for over 2 hours and included numbers from AC DC and Led Zeppelin! Watch a clip of the evening below:

1st Friday @ The Clubhouse welcomes Word of Mouth
Our 1st Friday entertainment night at The Clubhouse continued this month with an enjoyable evening of board games. Together with a few games of pool and drinks from the bar (and the kitchen) those present had a fun filled,  family friendly evening. We will look to repeat this on other Friday evenings so look out for details of future games nights (19th April?).

We now have confirmed bookings of live music for our next two 1st Fridays. On April 5th we welcome Word Of Mouth, a 4 piece rock n roll band specialising in music from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and up to date artists such as Ed Sheeran. Covering Status Quo, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley and much more there will be something for everyone.

On 3rd May we will be entertained by The Guvnors, a three piece band comprising keyboards, guitar and female lead singer. They cover anything from ABBA to Led Zeppelin and everything in between. Make sure to request Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb which features some excellent guitar work by Steve.

Tickets for both events are available online at only £5.00 in advance or £7.00 on the door. You can reserve or pay for your tickets beforehand in the clubhouse or via email – events@afccroydonathletic.co.uk. Online tickets are available from www.wegottickets.co.uk.
