Hinckley Association Football Club is an English football club, from Hinckley, Leicestershire, who will be playing home games at Heather St Johns' St John's Park for the 2015–16 season. The club was formed in January 2014 when fans of the dissolved Hinckley United formed their own Community Trust football club,〔(【引用サイトリンク】New football club to be called Hinckley AFC )〕 owned and democratically run by its supporters. The club spent its inaugural season in the newly formed Midland Football League First Division.〔(【引用サイトリンク】League Placement Announced )〕 ==History== Following the demise of Hinckley United in October 2013, fans of the club formed a working group and at a public meeting in December announced their intentions to form a co-operative community trust to launch a new football club for Hinckley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Fans' trust football club in Hinckley gets support from supporters )〕 After discussions with Supporters Direct the working group decided to adopt the same model as FC United of Manchester and AFC Wimbledon with a membership scheme allowing a 'one member one vote' ethos. In January 2014 at the next public meeting it was voted that the name of the new football club would be Hinckley AFC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】New football club to be called Hinckley AFC )〕 Further to that in February 2014 the club's badge and playing colours were voted on. The club crest chosen represented the town's history and future, and the playing colours would be a home kit of red & blue, with away colours of violet & white.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Fans Decide on Colours and Crest )〕 At that same meeting the working group announced a bid by a local businessman to purchase the De Montfort Park ground, and that his favoured tenant for the stadium would be Hinckley AFC. In March 2014 the working group announced that the co-operative trust had finalised its constitution, set up their bank account and were affiliated to the FA, at which point the club started registering members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Fans get to share in new club’s future )〕 Members were informed that the club had applied to join the Midland Alliance, but would have to wait until the FA had fully scrutinised the business plan before they would make a final decision. The club were informed in June 2014 that they had been allocated a place in the newly-formed Midland Football League First Division,〔(【引用サイトリンク】League Placement Announced )〕 level 6 of the Non League Pyramid. The club won their opening league game 3-0 〔(【引用サイトリンク】Southam United 0 - 3 Hinckley AFC )〕 away at Southam United and a week later set a club record victory beating Pelsall Villa 13-0,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hinckley AFC 13 - 0 Pelsall Villa )〕 but a run of 8 games without winning followed, leaving the club in the bottom reaches of the league table. On 18 October Hinckley AFC beat Cadbury Athletic 3-1,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hinckley AFC 3 - 1 Cadbury Athletic )〕 and then proceeded to set a Midland League record of 26 games unbeaten in a season culminating with a final day victory over Southam United winning 5-1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hinckley AFC 5 - 1 Southam United )〕 This unbeaten run lifted Hinckley AFC into a final league position of 3rd, ahead of Bolehall Swifts only by virtue of goals scored.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Midland League Division One )〕 In cup competitions, an early exit in the FA Vase losing 2-1 〔(【引用サイトリンク】Tipton Town 2 - 1 Hinckley AFC )〕 at Tipton Town was balanced by reaching the final of the Leicestershire Senior Cup, finishing runners-up to Bardon Hill, losing 1-0.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Hinckley AFC 0 - 1 Bardon Hill )〕 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「Hinckley A.F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
