Metropolitan Police F.C. are the football club of the Metropolitan Police Service, although in recent years there has been a relaxation in the rule that players had to be serving members of the police force. They are currently based just outside of London in East Molesey, near Walton-on-Thames, Surrey and play in the Isthmian League Division One South.

History

The club was formed in 1919 and played friendlies until they joined the Spartan League in 1928, a league where they were to play until 1960. In 1960 the club switched to the Metropolitan League and were promoted to the Southern League in 1971. They joined the Isthmian League's newly formed Division Two in 1977 and were promoted at the first attempt. In 1982 they came close to promotion, missing out by just two points, but in 1985 were relegated back to Division Two. In 1988 they were promoted once again but 1991 saw them drop to Division Two once more, where they remained until league reorganisation in 2002 saw them placed in Division One South. In 2004 the league was reorganised again and the Met played in Division One for two year, but in 2006 the regionalised divisions returned.

Club records

Best league performance: 5th in Southern League Division One South, 1971-72
Best FA Cup performance: 1st round proper, 1931-32, 1984-85 and 1993-94
Best FA Amateur Cup performance: Semi-finals, 1933-34
Best FA Trophy performance: 2nd round proper, 1989-90
Best FA Vase performance: Quarter-finals, 1994-95

Ground

The club's home at Imber Court is a general-use police sports facility which the Force acquired in 1919. Significant ground improvements, including a new stand, have taken place since the 1980s, funded by a Force lottery scheme.

The ground is also used by the Chelsea F.C. ladies team.
