Fleetwood Town F.C. is an English football club based in Fleetwood, Lancashire. They are currently playing in the Northern Premier League following two successive promotions (North West Counties Football League champions in 2005 and Northern Premier League First Division runners-up in 2006).
They were officially established in 1997 but the club's history dates back to 1908. They were First Division Champions of the Northern Premier League in 1988. Fans refer to each other as "Woodies" or "Macs", the latter due to a pun on the famous music group Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood's Highbury Stadium is not to be confused with the now defunct Arsenal Stadium, which was generally (although incorrectly) referred to as "Highbury". "Woodies" often joke, though, that their Highbury is "The Home of Football" and style themselves as "The Northern Arsenal".
