History
Шаблон:See also The club was established in October 1889. They played in the Cheltenham League, winning the Division One title in 1927–28 and again in 1929–30.[1] They joined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League in 1935, but left after two season.[2] Returning to the Cheltenham League, they were Division One champions again in 1948–49, before winning back-to-back titles in 1954–55 and 1955–56.[1] In 1957 they rejoined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League, but left again after finishing second-from-bottom in 1960–61.[3] However, they returned for the 1962–63 season.[3] They left the league again at the end of the 1963–64 season, but returned in 1965 and were runners-up in 1965–66, before going on to win back-to-back titles in 1966–67 and 1967–68.[3]
In 1968 Cirencester were founder members of the Gloucestershire County League, but after a single season in the new league they moved up to the Premier Division of the Hellenic League.[4] They were relegated to Division One at the end of the 1971–72 season, but were promoted back to the Premier Division after winning Division One in 1973–74.[4] The club returned to Division One after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in the 1977–78 season.[4]
The 1990–91 season saw the club finish as Division One runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division. They were Premier Division runners-up the following season, and won the league in 1995–96, earning promotion to Division One South of the Southern League.[4] The season also saw them win the Gloucestershire Senior Cup, beating Endsleigh 2–1 in the final.[5] The division was renamed Division One West in 1999, and after finishing third in 2003–04, the club were promoted to the Premier Division.[4]
The next few years saw Cirencester becoming a yo-yo club as they were relegated in 2007–08 and then promoted in 2009–10 after finishing fifth and winning the promotion play-offs, beating AFC Totton 3–2 in the semi-final and Bridgwater Town 4–3 in the final.[6] They were relegated again at the end of the 2011–12 season after finishing bottom of the Premier Division, but returned to the division after winning Division One South & West in 2013–14.[4] They won the Gloucestershire Senior Cup again in 2014–15, beating Shortwood United in the final.[7] In 2018–19 the club were runners-up in Division One South, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. However, they lost 2–1 to Cinderford Town in the semi-finals.
Development team
The Development Team, born out of the previous season's Under-16s team, "made their bow" in the 2009–10 season playing in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Reserve Division 2 West, and against all expectations, won the division title convincingly to be promoted to the Reserve Division 1. After a restructuring of the Hellenic League they were allocated to Division 2 West which they duly won and were promoted to Division 1 West where they finished fourth in their first season. This team continues to provide a solid platform for younger players to develop and progress to the first team.
Ground
The club has played at the Corinium Stadium since moving from the Smithfield ground in 2002.[8] The ground has also been used by Gloucester City (2008–2010) and Wootton Bassett Town. It has a capacity of 4,500, of which 550 is seated and 1,250 covered.[9]
