Coulsdon United was formed from two clubs who played in the Combined Counties League Division One.
Salfords were originally Monotype and ground shared with Coulsdon Town from 2006 because their own facilities were thought to be unacceptable for the new ground-grading rules for the CCFL. Coulsdon Town were previously Netherne. Both teams were playing at Coulsdon Town's ground at Netherne Community Amateur Sports Club, Woodplace Lane, Coulsdon. To share their resources - mainly human -they joined together in 2007 to form Coulsdon United.
Football has been played at Netherne since the early part of the 20th. century when builders engaged on the Netherne Hospital played a game against Chipstead. The present ground became Netherne Hospital's sports and social club and when the Hospital closed the club continued, having been sold to Gleeson's and given a long lease by that company.
In 1968 a team originally Reedham came to play at Netherne and changing their name to Netherne F.C. went on to be promoted into the Combined Counties League which at the time had one division. Due to having no floodlights the team was relegated into the Surrey Senior League but allowed back in to Division One for clubs without floodlights at a later date.
We are looking forward to a more settled time but all depends on ground-grading. It is not easy for clubs to get planning permission for floodlights and many are in the same position. We will wait to see what further rules will be forced on clubs before we know where our future will be.
