History

Bracknell Town Football Club was formed in 1896 as Old Bracknell Wanderers and changed its name to Bracknell F.C. in 1949.[3][4] The club played in the local leagues until joining the Great Western League for the 1958–59 campaign.[5] After four seasons in this league, and renaming the club Bracknell Town in 1962, the club was elected to the Surrey Senior League, which they won in 1969–70.[4][6] The club also won the league cup in 1968–69 and 1969–70.[3] After this success the club entered the Spartan League (later renamed the London Spartan League) and finished runners-up on goal average in 1975–76, in which they also reached the Fifth Round of the FA Vase.[7]

After winning the London Spartan league in 1982–83, they joined the Isthmian League Division Two South after the 1983–84 season.[7] They were promoted to Division One as runners-up in 1985–86, finishing third in their highest ever league placing.[8] However, in 1988–89, Bracknell Town was relegated and, following a reorganisation of the Isthmian League, were in Division Three in 1991–92.[7] They returned to the Isthmian League Division Two after winning the league in 1993–94, but after five seasons were relegated back down to Division Three.[9][10] After another league reorganisation in 2002–03, the club was moved into the Isthmian League Division One South, but moved to the Southern Football League Division One West after two seasons.[7] Bracknell were reprieved from relegation in 2008–09, when Winchester City F.C. were deducted three points saving the club on goal difference.[11][12] However, despite the reprieve the club could not save themselves from relegation to the Hellenic Football League Premier Division at the end of the 2009–10 season.[13]

The club then spent two seasons in the Hellenic premier Division before being relegated to Division One east at the end of the 2011–12 season.[14] Bracknell Town after being relegated then employed management duo of Steve Nebbett and Danny Oliphant in May 2012.[15]

They previously played at Downshire Arms and later on a ground in the location of Ranelagh School.[4] The club moved to Larges Lane in the 1930s, and a clubhouse was added in the 1960s.[16] Extra covering was added in 1994 in order to pass Isthmian League ground standards, which was later named the Quinton Stand after late club president Jack Quinton.[16]
