Launceston Football Club are looking to raise the funds for the proposal since last month forming the past players' group, the Windsorians.

One-time Blues president Malcolm Atkins said a wealth of the game's archival past cannot be displayed inside Windsor Park and is going to waste out of public view.

"We have so much in our clubrooms, but they're all in boxes just out the back in a storage container," he said.

"There is so much there between the old flags and, of course, trophies, photos and just memorabilia that at the moment we just can't display - there's just no space for it.

"We need a space at Windsor Park to build one and we can cover not only Launceston, but the whole West Tamar football fraternity."

Atkins was also anxious to attract a piece of history from defunct clubs Rosevears, Sidmouth, Exeter, West Tamar, Beauty Point and Beaconsfield to include in a museum. 

"They've all vanished over the years, but their history must be somewhere," he said. "That is where Launceston's history is: on the West Tamar for the last 50 years."

The proposal is to design a separate building on vacant council land at Windsor Park or to build another level on top of the current clubrooms.

The costs will come off the back of fundraising, but the club would also seek out a public grant and hope to warrant council interest.

"It's got to be at the clubrooms just so when people come to games the public can have a look it," Atkins said.

Atkins believed a recent donation from an elderly gentleman of the club's 1936 premiership photo is typical of the memorabilia out there.

"I'm sure it'll be a great boon for the West Tamar area to have all that information in the one area for the public to see and to keep for future generations," he said.
