About

The Old Spotted Dog Ground Trust (OSDGT) manage the Old Spotted Dog Ground on Upton Lane in Forest Gate. Its directors have devolved responsibilities for the day to day running of the ground, under protocols and governance procedures agreed by the democratic structures of the society.

The OSDGT was set up in December 2014 and in November 2020 became a wholly-owned subsidiary company (09349773) of Clapton Community Football Club Limited, a member-led community benefit society based in Forest Gate in east London. The OSDGT became a registered charity on the 22nd of June 2022 (Registration number: 1199417).

Our current directors, as of 9th of October 2023, are:
