Geocache Description:

A quick and simple cache near Cantilever Park, the home ground of Warrington Town FC - "The Yellows".


Warrington Town FC were established in 1949 under the name of Stockton Heath Albion. In 1961, they changed to their present name, and moved to the 3500 capacity Cantilever Park in 1965.

The club continued without success until the formation of the North West Counties Football League in 1982. Originally placed in the Third Division of the new league, Town immediately gained promotion as runners-up, and quickly established themselves as one of the division's most powerful clubs, missing out on promotion by a small margin on no fewer than three occasions.

1985–86 saw Town's first serious attempt at winning the FA Vase, but following a tremendous run, they bowed out to eventual winners Halesowen Town in an epic semi-final replay. Promotion to division one of the North West Counties Football League was achieved in 1986–87 and the club again excelled in the FA Vase, making it all the way to Wembley Stadium losing 3–2 to bitter rivals St Helens Town.

Promotion to the Northern Premier League was gained in 1989–90, but the club had very little success after that until 1992–93 when a fantastic FA Trophy run ended in the quarter-final at Sutton United. In the League Cup, they became the first ever Division One side to reach the final. In front of a large crowd at Maine Road, Town matched Premier Division runners-up Winsford United all the way, but Winsford took the trophy home following a penalty shoot-out.

1994–95 was another successful year for Town, who made it into the draw for the FA Cup first round proper for the first time ever, a last gasp equaliser at Hyde United forcing a replay, the winners of which would entertain Darlington. Town have still to play in the first round proper, as Hyde United won the replay.

The 1999–2000 season saw Town win the Second Division Trophy beating Tetley Walker 2–0. In 2000–01 Warrington won Division Two title to return to Division One. Town finished 16th in their second season back in Division One and next year saw Town finishing 5th in the league to gain promotion back into the Northern Premier League First Division.

Town's first season back in the Northern Premier League was something of a struggle but safety was guaranteed on the final day of the season with a 2–0 win over Shepshed Dynamo. The club also won the Northern Premier League Fair Play Award, and reached the semi-final of the Liverpool Senior Cup losing 3–2 to Everton.

In 2006–07 Warrington played Premiership side Liverpool in the quarter-final of the Liverpool Senior Cup losing 2–1 in front of 1,347, the biggest gate at Cantilever Park for several years. Then in 2014, Warrington reached the first round of the FA cup, meeting and beating Exeter City at Cantilever Park in a televised match.
