Burnham Ramblers Football Club is an English football club based in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. They are currently members of the Isthmian League Division One North and play at Leslie Fields.

History

The club was established in 1900,[2] and joined the Mid-Essex League. In 1966 they were founder members of the Essex Olympian League, and were league champions in its first season.[3] In 1985 the club switched to the Essex Senior League, where they have remained since. In 1999–2000 they finished third, missing out on the title on goal difference.[3] In 2013, they finally won the Essex Senior League, winning promotion to the Isthmian League.

Ground

After their formation, the club used four different grounds before moving to Wick Road in 1927.[2] They later moved to their current 10-acre (40,000 m2) complex, which includes three pitches and a training pitch.
