Colne Football Club are an English football club based at the Holt House Stadium in Colne, Lancashire. They were established in 1996 and were elected straight into the North West Counties League where they play in the Premier Division. They are full members of the Lancashire County Football Association. ==History== There used to be a club who were also called Colne F.C. (formerly Trawden Forest F.C.) who played in the Lancashire Combination in the early 20th century. However they are unrelated to the current club. The town also had another club, Colne Dynamoes who folded in 1990. Colne were formed in January 1996 and were placed in the North West Counties Football League Division Two. The club's first competitive game was against Middlewich Athletic on 17 August 1996. They finished in last place in their first season, 1996–97. They remained at that level, mostly finishing mid-table until winning the Division Two title in 2003–04, scoring 102 goals in 38 league games and earning themselves promotion to Division One.〔 They also had a remarkable FA Vase run that season, progressing all the way to the semi-finals before losing 4–3 over two legs to Sudbury. The home leg on 20 March 2004, saw a record crowd of 1,742 at the XLCR Vehicle Management Stadium. The club also won the Division Two Cup, beating Great Harwood Town 1–0 in the final.〔 The club's best FA Cup performance came the following season, when they progressed to the second qualifying round and they finished in tenth place in Division One. Their 2007–08 season final position of fifth is the highest they have so far reached.〔〔 The club have plans to establish a Football Academy in conjunction with Nelson and Colne College.〔〔 Colne's main local rivals are Nelson. Other local games include Bacup Borough, Padiham, Ramsbottom United, Silsden and Darwen. In 2013, first team manager, Nigel Coates, stood down after 10 years service, and Steve Cunningham was appointed in his place. Shaun O'Neill was introduced as new chairman at the club's annual presentation event in May 2014. 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「Colne F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
