Buxton Football Club are an English football club based in Buxton, Derbyshire. They were established in 1877 and joined the Combination League in 1891. They then joined the Manchester League in 1899 and won the championship in 1932. They reached the Third Round of the FA Cup in the 1951–52 season. Their patron is the Duke of Devonshire. The club supports and hosts local senior, junior and ladies football. They are currently members of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. ==History== Originally formed as an offshoot of the town's cricket club, Buxton Football Club began life in the autumn of 1877. Its first game took place on Saturday, October 27, at The Park (still the home of the cricket club) when 14 members picked sides for a 7-a-side match. In the next few years, the club played its home matches in fields at Cote Heath, off London Road and at Green Lane before moving to its current ground at the Silverlands in 1884, then a field owned by Frank Drewry, the club's first captain. The first game there was a Derbyshire Cup tie on Saturday, November 1, when "the Bucks" defeated Bakewell 2–0. Situated over 1000 feet above sea level, the Silverlands is the highest ground within the pyramid of football and substantially higher than the highest Football League ground which is The Hawthorns built in 1900, standing at 551 feet above sea level. After Buxton come the grounds of Tow Law Town (984 ft) and AFC Emley (606 ft). A grade "A" ground, the Main Stand has seats for 500 and the 2 covered terraces provide accommodation for a total of 2,000. The facilities at the ground are to be developed further prior to the start of the 2007–08 season. The club entered The Combination in 1891 and joined the Manchester League in 1899, winning the championship in 1931–32, which prompted a move to the Cheshire League for the following season (though the reserve side remained in the Manchester League and won the title in 1959–60). It took 40 years to bring the Cheshire League title to Buxton, though the club had been runners-up in 1962/63. Promotion to the NPL for the 1973–74 season was an opportunity eagerly seized and honours in this league comprise the winning of the President's Cup in 1980–81 and a League Cup final appearance at Maine Road in 1990/91. The club's highest NPL final placing was 4th position achieved in 1980–81, though it was not until 10 September 1991 "the Bucks" actually topped the NPL (eventually finishing 5th). Buxton's best years in the F.A. Cup came in the two decades after World War Two. In 1951/52 the club, having defeated then Football League Club, Aldershot, 4–3, reached the third round proper only to lose 2–0 at Division 2 side Doncaster Rovers, while first round appearances followed in 1958 and 1962. More recently, during the 2003–04 season Buxton reached the fourth qualifying round only to meet their match at Nigel Clough's Burton Albion. The early days of the F.A. Trophy saw the club develop a considerable reputation, reaching the quarter-finals in 1970–71 and 1971–72. A full member of the F.A. and the Derbyshire F.A., Buxton F.C. has won the Derbyshire Senior Cup 10 times, including 3 times in the 1980s.Their most recent win came in the 2011-12 season. 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「Buxton F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
