Radstock Town FC - A History

The 2000’s: Early in the new millen nia the club was promoted back to the
Western League and then promoted to the Premier Division at the first
attempt. Life in the Premier Division was difficult though and the best place
finish was 12th in 2010/11 season. 2013/14 was a particularly traumatic
campaign which saw the playing budget withdrawn to keep the club going,
the chairman resign, two mangers leave and ended with the club being
relegated!

Since then though the Chairman and committee has worked very hard to
bring stability back to the club and de spite some dark moments the team
remain in the First Division.
Today: The club had been on the brink of promotion to the Premier Divi -
sion for the last three seasons but first the pandemic saw them denied
through the FA’s points per game countback system, by the smallest of
margins and then last year they were beaten in the play off semi-final by
Warminster Town. Unfortunately illness has meant that Ryan Child has had
to give up his managerial role and with Tom Pawley also stepping down the
club has been fortunate to bring in experienced manager Ray John ston for
the coming campaign and hopes are high in the club that he and his team
will be able to win promotion and start the climb up the football pyramid.
