Farncombe F.C. are a football club based in Farncombe, Surrey, England. They were established in 2006 and are currently members of the Guildford and Woking Alliance Football League. Farncombe F.C. are the first men's side to play at Meades Park, home of Farncombe Youth Football Club.

[edit] Club history

The emergence of Farncombe F.C. happened in a matter of months. In February 2006, the first team manager Chris Darwen was approached by then chairman of Farncombe Youth, Kevin Shepherd, to look into putting a men's team together at Farncombe Youth for the first time in their thirty-year history.

Darwen accepted the challenge and went about the task of creating a team and getting them accepted into a local football league. The chosen league was the Guildford & Woking Alliance Football League and Farncombe F.C. entered at 3rd Division level.

Players were then recruited from the area, many of the current squad are former Farncombe Boys players.

The aim of the club is simple - to rise through the leagues at a very quick rate to play in the F.A. Cup Qualifying Rounds in twelve years time. The aim for the first season is to secure promotion in such a way that allows the club to play in Division One of the Guildford & Woking Alliance in their second season. The club aims to be playing in Intermediate Level football in their sixth season, and senior level football in their twelfth.

The club are already unique in what they do at Junior Level. The team trains twice a week and employs a specialist SAQ trainer to run one of these sessions. They are already attracting a small but loyal following of approximately twenty people for the home games, where a coffee bar is open for refreshments and snacks. The club even provide a match-day programme. The aim for the club is to be playing in front of a regular home crowd of at least 100 by next season.

Farncombe F.C. have already attracted one star guest player to the club, for their first ever League game against Burpham F.C. John Farnworth, the world champion Football Freestyler, entertained the crowd of more than eihty people, and was an unused substitute on Saturday 9 September 2006.
