Stadium History & Features

Lowestoft were founder members of the Norfolk & Suffolk League in 1897 and dominated the competition in its early years. They reached the FA Amateur Cup final in 1900 and have multiple Eastern Counties League titles to their name.

After winning Isthmian Division One North in 2009–10 they reached the Isthmian Premier and later the Conference North via the play-offs in 2014–15. They were relegated from National League North in 2015–16, transferred to the Southern League in 2017–18, and returned to the Isthmian North in 2021–22.

The 2023–24 season saw Lowestoft win the Isthmian North title and earn promotion to Southern League Premier Central, but they were relegated back after one season. Crown Meadow's record attendance of 5,000 was set for an FA Cup first-round tie against Watford in 1967.
