Port Talbot Town F.C. ((ウェールズ語:Clwb Pêl Droed Port Talbot)) is a football club from Port Talbot in Wales and was founded in 1901, making Port Talbot Athletic as they were then one of the first association football clubs to be founded in Wales. The club plays in the Welsh Premier League, and is based at Victoria Road. Victoria Road is also known officially as the Genquip Stadium for sponsorship purposes. ==History== Formed in 1901, Port Talbot began life as a member of the Swansea Senior League and continued playing following a hiatus due to World War One. Although records are sparse, the club are thought to have played in the Swansea Senior League until 1926, when they became founder members of the Port Talbot and District Association Football League. The club are thought to have competed in the Welsh League Division 2 Western from the 1928/29 season onwards, competing under the name Seaside Athletic. Although the club can trace rather tenuous roots back to 1901, the modern club was founded shortly after World War II as Port Talbot Athletic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Club History )〕 Promotion to the top-flight of Welsh football was gained in 1956–57, but the club were subject to relegation after one season. Port Talbot regained promotion as Division 2 West champions in 1961–62 but were relegated again after one season in the top-flight. The club followed a similar path in 1970–71. They were promoted into the League of Wales in 2000, and changed their name to Port Talbot Town in 2001. Port Talbot's biggest rivals are considered to be Afan Lido, located less than half a mile away, the rivalry is one of the fiercest in South Wales. A 3rd-place finish in the 2009–10 season provided Port Talbot with a berth in the Europa League, their first appearance in European Competition. 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「Port Talbot Town F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
