Swindon Supermarine F.C. are a football club based in Swindon, Wiltshire, England. Currently they are members of the Southern League Premier Division. Their ground is floodlit and is situated close to the Honda Plant in Swindon.

History

The club was established in 1992 as a merger between two local clubs, Supermarine F.C. and Swindon Athletic F.C., both of which were struggling financially, taking the latter club's place in the Hellenic League Premier Division. In 1997-98 the new club won the Hellenic League championship but were not promoted due to ground requirements. The championship was won for the second time in 2000-01 and this time they were accepted into the Southern League. After four years of struggle at the foot of the table, not helped by a rapid succession of managerial changes, they qualified for the play-offs in 2005-06 but lost to Hemel Hempstead Town in the semi-finals. In 2006–07 they again reached the promotion play-offs, where this time they were successful after beating Burnham F.C. in the semi-final and Taunton Town in the final. This earned them a place in the Southern League Premier Division.

Ground

The improvements necessary for the club to step up to the Southern League saw the building of a new 225-seater stand, taking the total covered capacity to 300, as well as new perimeter fencing and toilets and the addition of floodlights.
