[edit] 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, and took 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 the Marine 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.
[edit] 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.
