East Riding County Football Association
Encyclopedia
The East Riding County Football Association is the governing body
of football in the East Riding of Yorkshire
and the city of Hull
, England
. The East Riding runs a number of county cup competitions at different levels for its affiliated teams.
On 10 February 1902, the Football Association issued ‘the Recommendations of a Commission appointed to enquire into the position of the Yorkshire Associations’. The recommendations came into effect on 1 May 1902 forming the new East Riding of Yorkshire FA – “the area to be the East Riding of York. The present Hull and District Association to change its name and take control of the area.”
During the last 100 years, the County has administered football in the area in an efficient manner with the stewardship in the hands of willing and able volunteers, with a steady increase in the number of clubs, but very few landmarks – the foremost possibly being the introduction of Sunday football in the early fifties.
However, the FA led expansion of football at all levels has seen dramatic changes in recent years. For the first time an office was set up with full time paid staff – previously being administered from officers’ homes.
The Association became a Limited Company in 1999 and in 2001 a full time Football Development Officer appointed. The role of the County FA continues to expand with football development, child protection and facilities strategy just a few initiatives. Whilst we celebrate 100 years, the next few years will see some dramatic changes and we look forward with excitement to the new developments.
The ECRFA are in the process of completing their new Headquarters built at Inglemire Lane.
