Melton Town Football Club is a football club based in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, England. They are currently members of the United Counties League Division One and play at the Melton Sports Village.
History
The club was established in 2004 and joined Division Two of the Leicester & District League.[1] In 2006–07 season they were Division Two champions,[2] and were promoted to Division One. In 2009 they moved up to Division One of the Leicestershire Senior League.[3] After finishing as runners-up in 2012–13, the club were promoted to the Premier Division. They went on to finish as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2013–14 and 2014–15,[3] but were unable to take promotion due to failing ground grading regulations.[4] A third-place finish in 2015–16 and a move to a new ground saw the club promoted to Division One of the United Counties League, with the club also being renamed Melton Town.[3]
Ground
In 2013 the club moved to nearby Asfordby.[4] They returned to Melton Mowbray in April 2016 when the club moved to the Melton Sports Village.[4] The new ground included a 135-seat stand.[4]
