[edit] History
The club was founded in 1920, and originally played at Chatteris Park and later the Recreation Ground. They moved to West Street following the end of World War II, the ground having been used by West Ham during the war.[1]
They entered the Eastern Counties League in 1966. The club set its record attendance of 2,000 in a match against local rivals March Town United at the end of the 1988-89 season,[2] a game which March needed to win to clinch the ECL title.
When the league added a second tier in 1988, Chatteris were placed in the Premier Division following a 7th-place finish the previous season. The club struggled in the new division, finishing bottom in 1989-90 and 1990-91, but were reprieved from relegation as the league lost members who were promoted to the Southern League. However, the club were eventually relegated in 1995 after finishing bottom and winning just two league games all season.
They continued to play in the First Division until 2001, when, depsite finishing fifth, they resigned from the league and dropped into the Peterborough & District League. In 2008 they transferred to the Cambridgeshire League.
