[edit] History

In 1951 Oadby Imperial changed their name to become Oadby Town FC. In the same year they won the Leicestershire Senior League Division Two Championship and were promoted to Division One (later Division One became the Premier League and Division Two became Division One).

Oadby Town have won the Leicestershire Senior League eight times and been runners-up seven times. In the 1999/00 season they joined the Midland Football Alliance, and in their first season in this league they were crowned champions.

In the 2002/03 season Oadby Town were FA Vase semi-finalists, losing out to Brigg Town 3-1 on aggregate.

[edit] Ground

Oadby play at Topps Park, so called because of a sponsorship deal with Topps Tiles. Fast food and drink are available at the ground. The average attendance is around 100
