Woodley Town F.C. is a football club based in Woodley, Berkshire, England. The club can trace its history back to 1904 although it is thought that it existed in the 19th century. Currently it is a member of the Hellenic Football League Division One East having won promotion by winning the Reading Football League Senior Division in the 2008–09 season. ==History== Woodley Town FC was formed in 1904 and competed in the Wargrave & District League. The club achieved in the 1909–10 season the ‘double’ of Champions and Cup Winners. Fourteen seasons later in the in 1923–24 season they won the Reading Junior Cup. The club were the last team to win the Wargrave and District League in the 1926–27 season, and then joined the Reading & District League. With the club in the Reading & District League they had to wait 31 years until the 1957–58 season to win any Silverware by winning the Premier Division.〔 They then won it the season afterwards but would have to wait nearly thirty years to win anything again, when they won the premier division again in the 1985–86 season. The club then went into a period of decline, with the 1990–91 season seeing First Team start the season in the Premier Division of Reading Football League while the Reserves where in Division 4 Kennet. However, an exodus of players saw the First Team fold mid season leaving just the Division four team in operation.〔 The club won Division four that season and Division three the following season. However it took the club another five season to gain promotion to Division one kennet when they finished as runners-up in Division two kennet in the 1997–98 campaign. During their time in Division Two the Club also changed their name from Woodley to Woodley Town.〔 In their first two seasons in Division one Kennet the club won the Reading Evening Post Junior Cup in 1999 and the Berks & Bucks Junior Cup a year later.〔 A season later in the 2000–01 campaign the club gained promotion to the Reading League premier Division as runners-up.〔 Next Season the club gained promotion to the Senior Division but could only last a season at the top, being relegated at the end of the 2002–03 season. However the club bounced back up the next season and then managed to stay in the Senior Division.〔 The 2008–09 season saw the club awarded the FA's Chartered Standard Development kite mark. That season also saw the team winning the Reading Football League Double of the Senior Division and BTC Senior Cup, the latter being played at Madejski Stadium. By winning the premier Division the club then gained promotion to the Hellenic League Division One East, finishing in fourth place in their debut season, and the club continues to play in this division.〔 During October 2011 Woodley Town F.C. announced plans to join forces with Wokingham and Emmbrook F.C. to create a 'super-club' for the region. However the plan was not fully confirmed. Wokingham believed this plan would allow them to upgrade their pitch at Cantley Park, after trying for several years, but Wokingham council have insisted that the park should remain in public use in its entirety and not sold off to private clubs. 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「Woodley United F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
