Moulton Football Club

Original Club 1889/1937— Nuneaton St. Nicolas/Nuneaton Town. The club began in 1889 when young men from Nuneaton St. Nicolas Parish Church formed a football team to represent the town. Originally playing only friendly games, in September 1894 the 'Nicks’ changed their name to Nuneaton Town Association F.C, which they played under until 1937 when the club was disbanded. Following the disbandment, the club was reformed two days later as Nuneaton Borough FC by a new group of young Gentlemen and played under this name until 1991 when the club liquidated for the first time. After the club reformed they changed their name to Nuneaton Borough 1991 F.C. During this time the club had some historic cup victories including a 1–0 win over Division 2 side Stoke City in 2000 and in 2006 they scored a late equaliser at home to Premier league and UEFA Cup side Middlesbrough. The club played at a new ground, Manor Park (1937–2007) and Liberty Way (2007–2008). The club nickname became established as 'The Boro’. Then in 2008 the club was liquidated due to poor financial performance. It was renamed Nuneaton Town on the insistence of the FA and because of falling foul of financial regulations, the club was demoted two divisions, from Conference North to Southern League Division One, although the club was promoted back to its former division over the following two seasons. During the 2018–19 season the club reverted to its former name Nuneaton Borough F.C. after overwhelming support for the change from supporters. The club is still known to some supporters as 'The Boro'.

In October 2023, the club were issued with an eviction notice due to debts owed and bosses claiming that the club had been behind in rent payments since 2019. This eviction notice led the club to having to play what they feared to be their last ever match at the home of Stratford Town, however the club were able to play a further two away matches thanks to the efforts of supporters. On 23 November 2023, the club confirmed that they had been taken over by DA Capital. On 18 January 2024, the club confirmed their withdrawal from the Southern Football League Premier Division Central for the remainder of the season. Following advice from their legal advisors that their offer to purchase the stadium would not be considered and that a lease agreement could not be reached, investors pulled out of any financial support, meaning the club would be unable to continue trading. Following resignation from the league, it was announced the club planned to go into liquidation, along with a plan to reform a new club in the lower leagues. Numerous bids were made by various parties for a reformed club, eventually it was announced that a fan lead group would be forming a new club, with the new club being named 'Nuneaton FC’. Ahead of the 2024–25 season, the club joined Division One of the Midland Football League as Nuneaton Town. During their first season, the club were promoted to the Premier Division as champions having amassed 103 pts from their 42 games played (32 wins; 7 draws; 3 defeats).

Since our away game with Nuneaton back in September, where Moulton lost 5-0, their previous undefeated record in the league has been dented with two defeats at home v Histon 0-1 and away v Easington Sports 0-3. They have also had two draws v Godmanchester (H) 2-2 and Aylestone Park (A) 1-1. They do however remain at the top of the league with 42 pts from their 18 games (13 wins; 3 draws; 2 defeats). Their last 5 league games has seen them win 3 v Aylestone Park (H) 4-2; ON Chenecks (A) 3-1; Daventry Town (A) 3-2 but lose 2 v Histon & Easington Sports (see above). On Saturday (6/12) they are due play G.N.G.Oadby Town away in the FA Vase 3rd round proper (UPDATE - GNG Oadby progress into the next round with a 3-1 win v Nuneaton). As well as the FA Vase they also progressed in the UCL League Cup v Coventry United (H) 1-0, but lost in the FA Cup v ColeshillTown (A) 1-2.
