Bicester Town Football Club is a football club based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, England.

History

The club was established in 1873,[1] a merger of Bicester Rovers and Bicester Harriers.[2] They joined the Oxfordshire Senior League after winning the County Shield in 1903. They won the Oxfordshire Senior Cup in 1930 and again in 1939.[2] In 1953 they were founder members of the Hellenic League, finishing as runners-up in its second season.[3] They were placed in the Premier Division when the league gained a second division in 1956, and won the league title in 1960–61.[3]

The club were relegated to Division One after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1975–76, but returned to the Premier Division after winning Division One in 1977–78.[3] They went on to win the Premier Division in 1979–80.[3] The 2004–05 season saw the club relegated to Division One East. However, they finished as runners-up the following season, earning promotion back to the Premier Division.[3] They were relegated again at the end of the 2009–10, and despite finishing second in Division One West the following season,[3] folded after a dispute with their landlords.[4]

The club was reformed in 2015,[4] and rejoined the Hellenic League Division One East for the 2015–16 season. They were Division One East runners-up in 2017–18, after which the club were transferred to Division One West. The club resigned from the league shortly after the start of the 2018–19 season.[5]

Ground

Until World War I the club played at several different grounds; starting at the Cricket Field in 1896 before moving to Banbury Road, then Station Road and London Road.[6] Following the war the club returned to the Cricket Field, before moving to a new ground on Oxford Road that had formerly been used as a golf course.[6] A stand was built in the early 1930s and later extended, with a clubhouse and changing rooms built in 1960s.[6] By 2004 the ground had a capacity of 2,000, with 250 seated;[6] the record attendance was 955, set for a game against Portsmouth in 1994.[2]

A dispute with Bicester Sports Association, the ground's owners, forced the club to fold in 2011.[4] When they reformed in 2015, the club started playing at Ardley United's Playing Fields ground.[2]
