Wadebridge Town F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wadebridge Town F.C. is a football club based in Wadebridge, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. They were established in 1894 and joined the South Western League for its second season in 1952 and remained in membership until 2007 when they joined the South West Peninsula League Division One West. They had never won the league title, but on three occasions had finished in the runner-up spot.
They have competed in all three of the main national competitions, without any major success. The club has reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup three times, the last being over thirty years ago, and prior to being accepted for the 2006-07 season, they hadn't been played in the tournament since 1984-85. They were among the teams selected for the first FA Trophy competition in 1969-70, but in six seasons never progressed past the qualifyng rounds, and in a similar number of entries in the FA Vase their best run was to the third round in 1982-83.
Wadebridge play at Bodieve Park, to the north of the town. The ground has seen a number of major improvements in recent years, with a new grandstand to replace the previous condemned wooden one, the installation of floodlights in 2004, and most recently, a project to reduce the slope of the pitch. In late 2006, however, the club applied for outline planning permission to build offices on their existing ground and to build a new pitch, to be shared with Wadebridge School.
