Nuneaton Borough A.F.C.

Nuneaton Borough A.F.C. was previously known as Nuneaton St Nicholas, Nuneaton Town and Nuneaton Borough F.C. respectively. They currently play in the Conference North division of English football.

History

In 1889, members of the local parish church formed the club, which was known as Nuneaton Saint Nicholas and informally as The Saints. Just five years later, the club was renamed Nuneaton Town and by 1899 they joined the Leicestershire Senior League.

Stadium

Manor Park

The club played their first games at Wash Lane Farm, which was owned by Mr Charles Moore. In 1919, the club purchased the land for £230 and renamed it Manor Park soon afterwards. A staggered terraced area, the canal side stand, the cock and bear stand and a seated main stand later enclosed the pitch.

The final game at Manor Park was played on the 28th April 2007 against Vauxhall Motors.

Club Colours

Nuneaton Borough A.F.C. traditionally play in a royal blue and white striped shirt, white or royal blue shorts and white or royal blue socks.
