History

About Deepdale

The club leased Deepdale Farm in January 1875 and used it for cricket and rugby before the first association football match was played there on 5 October 1878. The Spion Kop and Town End were built in the 1920s, the Town End was rebuilt after a fire in 1933 and the Pavilion Stand opened in 1934. A plastic pitch was laid in 1986 and removed in 1994. The ground was rebuilt stand by stand from 1995, ending with the Invincibles Pavilion, which opened for the 2008–09 season.
