History

On 30 June 2017, a company, Ilkeston Town F.C. Ltd was registered at Companies House.[1] On 20 July 2017, it was confirmed that Ilkeston Town was bought by Alan Hardy.[2] The club was formed in July 2017 after the previous football club in the town, Ilkeston F.C., folded months earlier. Taking the name of two earlier clubs to represent the town, Ilkeston Town were admitted into the Midland Football League as a late entry for their inaugural season, and were allocated a place in Division One.[3]

In their first season, Ilkeston finished 2nd in the league on 95 points, 15 behind league champions Walsall Wood. Following the conclusion of the 2017/18 season, the club announced on 25 May 2018 that they would be promoted to Step 5 and would play in the Midland Football League Premier Division. [4]
