[2] The current home of Turton FC, Thomason Fold, in Edgworth is about a mile away from the original ground, Tower Street, in Chapeltown.

[5] In 2009, the club nearly folded having been relegated from the West Lancashire Premier Division and losing the majority of its players in the process.

[6] Also in 2009, Martin Vizzard was appointed as chairman alongside Dave Yates as his vice; joined later by Peter Gray, a local entrepreneur and business man on the committee.

Vizzard stepped down from the position in 2013 following a brain tumour, his work as chairman was instrumental in changing the fortunes of the club.

The promotion however was denied by the league due to inadequate facilities; despite over £50,000 being spent on ground improvements in the close season.

The case went to appeal but the Lancashire FA withheld the league's decision to controversially block promotion.

Turton FC play their home games at the Thomason Fold Ground in the village of Edgworth.
