Borough Park was twenty years old when the club became the latest to invest in stadium floodlighting.

Reds were still coming to terms with life in the Northern Premier League in the late seventies and supporters, having adapted from following a struggling Fourth Division team, were now welcoming some famous non-league teams to west Cumbria.

Every Workington supporter worth his salt could give you chapter and verse on the 1958 cup tie versus Manchester United but that is just one of ninety-three FA Cup matches we have played in the competition at Borough Park.

Any Reds supporters, born after 1983, probably missed out on one fantastic Borough Park experience.

During our time as a Football League club, we experienced some wonderful matches in the Football League Cup.  Over seventeen seasons, we established a fine reputation as cup fighters - emerging as giant killers on numerous occasions, holding First Division opposition three times and actually knocking out a top flight opponent in a replay on their own ground.

Borough Park became our new home in late 1937 but the first team didn’t win too many trophies to adorn the boardroom at HQ.

Following our election to the Football League in early June, 1951, the Workington supporters eagerly awaited the publication of the fixture list for Reds’ inaugural season in the Third Division North.
