| WARMINSTER TOWN - CLUB HISTORY |
| Football in Warminster can be traced back to 1878, but this only lasted
until 1883. Two or |
| three years later, a Warminster Town Club was formed and started playing
in local |
| leagues and around the turn of the century, they progressed to win
a number of trophies. |
| |
| It has been difficult to maintain senior football on a number of occasions,
but entry into |
| the Western League was achieved in 1930 and lasted until the summer
of 1939. During |
| these nine seasons, which were all played in Division 2, the club finished
in the top half of |
| the table only twice, with the highest position being 7th in the first
campaign. After the War |
| the club played in the Wiltshire County League until entry to the Great
Mills Western |
| League was gained once more in 1983. |
| |
| The club has never set the Great Mills League alight, however the 1991/2
and 1992/3 |
| seasons proved to be the club's most productive with a final League
positiuon of 5th in |
| Division 1 on each occasion. No less than 9 club records were set in
1991/2 and a |
| further three in the following year. |
| |
| The 1996/7 season was something of a disappointment after the success
of those two |
| earlier years, when the team finished fifth from bottom, but everyone
connected with the |
| club is confident that the corner has been turned both on & off the
field, and that |
| Warminster Town F.C. can approach the future with optimism. |
| |
| Season 2006/7 saw the club enter the Sydenhams Wessex League Division
1, finishing a |
| creditable 8th position and making many new friends along the way. |
| |
| Warminster Town was very proud to have been the first team from Wiltshire
and the first |
| team outside the Premier Division to win the Friendliest Club award
especially in the first |
| season. |
| |
| Warminster Town also won the Wiltshire F.A. Floodlight League Fair
Play Award, The |
| Trowbridge League 1st Division and overall Fair Play Award and were
runners up in the |
| Wiltshire County F.A. Fair Play Award (Senior Section). |
| |
| Warminster Town is run with a structured management team and with very
strict |
| financial control. |
