History

The club was formed in 1945 and has been in continuous existence since then. They were Leek Minor League champions and Leek & Moorland League champions in 1962, and also won a number of local cups. [1]

In 1984 CSOB were among the founder members of the Staffordshire Senior League. They won the championship of the league (which by this time had changed its name to the Midland League) in 1996, which gained them promotion to the North West Counties Football League Division Two. Two years later they were promoted to Division One, but lasted only three seasons at this level before being relegated back to Division Two, where they remain to this day (although it is now called Division One). [2]

The club has never had its own ground and for many years shared Leek Town's ground, Harrison Park. [3] A £300,000 donation received in 2002 gave CSOB the finances to build its own stadium, and as of August 2005 the club was in negotiations with Staffordshire Moorlands District Council to do so. [4] These plans were subsequently rejected by the SMDC. CSOB currently play their games at Pointon Park on the outskirts of Leek, near Cheddleton.
