Club history
Formed in 1899 as Llanfair Rovers, they entered the North Wales Coast League and had a good season, playing 23 matches; winning 10, drawing 5 and losing 8.
They have been champions of the Welsh Alliance League in the 1987-88 season and the 2000-01 season. They have been runners-up three times. They also played Football League opposition in the Welsh Cup in the form of Shrewsbury Town in 1987, losing 1-0 at Caernarfon Town.
The name of the football club is also known to be the longest football club name in the world.
New ground
The club had played at Y Gors ('The Gors') - close to the railway station - since their inception, but moved in season 2008–09 to a new ground 400 metres north west at Maes Eilian with better facilities and drainage. This was followed by a poor run in which at one point the club were in danger of relegation from the Cymru Alliance (the joint second tier of the Welsh pyramid), however a good string of results pulled them clear of danger to finish 10th. The club were demoted to the Welsh Alliance 1st division at the end of 2009-10 season following an overhaul of the league structure by the FAW. A subsequent relegation at the end of 2011-12 saw the club drop into Welsh Alliance Division 2.
The name of the new ground, Maes Eilian, translates as Eilian's Field, in reference to a local legend of a saint who performed last-minute miracles.
