Glenorchy Football Club The Glenorchy District Football Club is an Australian rules football club currently playing in the Tasmanian State League and the Southern Football League in Tasmania , Australia.History The club is nicknamed the Magpies after its black and white playing strip, and was originally known as New Town Football Club when it started out as a member of the Tasmanian Football League in 1919. New Town changed its name to Glenorchy in 1957 after absorbing the already established club Glenorchy Rovers and relocated its headquarters to KGV Oval at Glenorchy in Hobart's northern suburbs in the same year, playing its first match at the venue on 4 May 1957 against Hobart . It remains there to this day. After the death of the Tasmanian Football League in December 2000 , the club was temporarily without a league to play in. After some political maneuvering within football circles, Glenorchy were admitted to the Southern Football League, but at a high price, with the club being forced, as a condition of entry to the League , to give up its black and white playing strip, and its Magpies emblem as it clashed with former Southern Amateur club Claremont Magpies , who were already a member of the SFL. Glenorchy announced in early 2001 that they would adopt a new green, black & white playing uniform, and be known as the "Glenorchy Storm". This was not popular with fans who drifted away from the club, and its membership and support base decreased rapidly. There was to be considerable rejoicing amongst its fans in 2004, after persistent pressure from the club, and the fact that Claremont were now playing in the SFL Regional League, which resulted in Glenorchy being granted the return of its black and white strip, and the Magpie emblem.Statistics Club record attendance 24,968: 1979 TFL Grand Final vs Clarence Roos at North Hobart Oval .Club record attendance (Home & Away) 8,480 + approx. 2000 non-paying juniors: 2011 TSL Round 1 vs Clarence Roos at KGV OvalClub record score 34.21 vs Hobart 18.14 at KGV Oval Round 22, 1983.Senior coaches Glenorchy District Football Club Team of the Century: 1919–2000 Backline: Roland Curley, Roy Witzerman, Alan Leitch.Half-back line: Trevor Sprigg , Barry Strange , Robbie Dykes.
