> Bletchley Town F.C. was a football club based in Bletchley, a constituent town of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England. Since summer 2013, the club has been in abeyance. For the 2012–13 season, the first team was a member of the Spartan South Midlands League Division Two. ==History== The first Association Football club to represent Bletchley was formed in 1914 as Bletchley Sports, and after the first world war the club became Bletchley Sports Club.〔(history ) Bletchley Town F.C.〕 The club joined the Bedfordshire and District County League in the 1927–28 season, which became the South Midlands League two seasons later.〔(South Midlands league 1922–30 ) Non-league Matters〕 At the start of the 1930–31 season the club again changed its name, this time to Bletchley Town Sports.〔〔(South Midlands league 1930–1939 ) Non-league Matters〕 The club stayed in the South Midlands league until the end of the 1933–1934 season, when they finished bottom of division one and left the league. After the Second World War, "Bletchley L M S" took over the Bletchley colours, operating from 1947 to 1960 but gaining competition from 1952 from "Bletchley B B O B" (later called "Bletchley United") which played until 1976. Meanwhile Bletchley Town resumed competing in the South Midlands League in 1948〔The Spartan Football League, Volume 3, 1950/51 – 1974/75 Compiled by Mike Wilson〕 before transferring to the Spartan League Division One for the 1952/3 season. They gained promotion to the Premier Division as champions in only their first season. From 1954/5 (the last season of their first period in the Spartan League) they played under the name of "Bletchley & Wipac Sports Club" and two seasons later, for the 1956–57 campaign, changed their name to "Bletchley & WIPAC" by which time they had joined the Hellenic League. The club became Bletchley Town F.C. again a season later, and stayed in the Hellenic league until the end of the 1958–59 season after which they played for a season back in the Spartan League before becoming members of the United Counties League. They moved leagues again when they joined the Metropolitan League in the 1968–69 season, but three years later they switched leagues again by joining the Southern Football League, spending the next few seasons switching between Division one North and south. Once again the club changed its name, this time to Milton Keynes City〔Note that the name Milton Keynes City F.C. was revived again fourteen seasons later for the 1998–99 season, when an existing team called Mercedes-Benz Football Club, named after the factory where many of the players worked, changed their name. The club was playing in the Spartan South Midlands Football League and moved to Wolverton Park, which had been the home of Wolverton A.F.C. until they had collapsed six years earlier. As with Bletchley, City's directors believed that they could build their club up to be accepted as representing Milton Keynes as a whole, but they never achieved this. Following the departure of the directors in June 2003, the team folded in July, unable to secure the investment needed to continue. For details, see Milton Keynes City.〕 at the beginning of the 1974–75 season. The club continued in the southern league until the 1984–85 season, when the club folded, with their only notable achievement winning the Berks and Bucks cup in the 1979–80 season.〔(History of Football in MK ) MK Dons Supporters Association〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bletchley Town F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
