Fleetwood Town is an English football club based in Fleetwood, Lancashire. Their home ground is Highbury Stadium in Fleetwood. Established in 1997, the current Fleetwood Town F.C. is the third incarnation of the club which first formed in 1908. The original club,  Fleetwood F.C., played almost sixty years as a Lancashire Combination club and  were  founder members of the Northern Premier League in 1968. Despite winning the Northern Premier League Cup in 1971, the club languished in the lower half of the table, and folded in 1976 because of financial difficulties. The club was re-established in 1977 as Fleetwood Town F.C., with many of the original personnel. Initially placed in Division One of the Cheshire League, they were moved in 1982 to the North West Counties League Division Two in its inaugural year, and secured promotion to Division One in 1984. The club was placed in Division One (second tier) of the Northern Premier League when the league established a second tier in 1987, becoming the inaugural Division One Champions in 1988. In 1990–91 Fleetwood finished 4th in the NPL Premier Division, then effectively the sixth tier. However, by 1996, this second club had also folded. Re-formed in 1997 as Fleetwood Wanderers, the club was placed back in Division One of the North West Counties Football League (now the tenth tier of the English League system) and a sponsorship deal saw the club's name immediately changed to Fleetwood Freeport F.C.. The club was promoted to the Premier Division of the North West Counties League in 1999 and renamed Fleetwood Town F.C. in 2002. Successive promotions as North West Counties League champions in 2005 and Northern Premier League First Division runners-up in 2006 saw the club reach the Northern Premier League Premier Division.  In 2012 Fleetwood  won the 2011–12  Football Conference and were promoted to the Football League for the first time.   More success followed when a 1-0 victory over Burton Albion at Wembley in May 2014 secured promotion to League One.
