Back in 1886, a group of factory workers formed a football team at the Royal Arsenal Armament Factory in Woolwich. They named it Dial Square, but after only their first match, after which they decided to change the name to 'Royal Arsenal'. Today, it is known simply as Arsenal Football Club.
Dial Square Football Club is a new football club set up by disgruntled Arsenal fans, dismayed at how the club has been run for the past decade.
Taking its inspiration from 'AFC Wimbledon' and 'F.C Utd Of Manchester', the club hope to enter the National League System at the highest level possible.
The club has chosen the name Dial Square to pay homage to the factory workers who started a football team at the Royal Arsenal Armament Factory in Woolwich, in 1886.
The name only lasted for one game, (due to the fact that no one would know who Dial Square were), so the workers decided to change the name to Royal Arsenal. The rest is history!
The main aim for the newly formed Dial Square F.C is to try and climb the non-league pyramid as quick as it possibly can. During this time, the club shall also be starting a long-term plan of eventually returning back to Woolwich, into a purpose built stadium of our own. After all, Woolwich was the original home of Arsenal Football Club.
At present, we are currently trying to enter a league for the 2020/21 season. There are plenty of factors which will determine which level we will start at, but with decent funding, fan support, the right personnel on the pitch and the right facilities, we strongly believe we can climb the ladder quickly. We shall move laterally across the league system from where we will be starting, towards Woolwich, until we are at a position to move into a new stadium of our own
Please keep a look out for funding schemes that'll be set up between now and the start of the 2020/21 season.
