History

A.F.C. Sudbury were formed on 1 June 1999 by the amalgamation of the town's two previous clubs, Sudbury Town (founded 1885) and Sudbury Wanderers (founded 1958). is the 152nd day of the year (153rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... This article is about the year. ... Sudbury Town was a football club from Sudbury, Suffolk, England. ... Sudbury Wanderers was a football club from Sudbury, Suffolk, England. ...

The club's relatively short history has, thus far, been very successful. In their debut season (1999-2000) Sudbury finished in 3rd place in the Eastern Counties Premier Division. The following 5 seasons all resulted in Sudbury winning the same league's title - a league record. Sudbury did not take promotion at any of these opportunities, despite being entitled to. The financial constraints of owning two grounds led the board not to apply for promotion until the beginning of the 2005-06 season. After finishing 3rd in 2005-06, and passing the necessary ground inspection, Sudbury were invited to take promotion into a resurrected Isthmian League Division One North, following the re-structuring of the National League System. Potential legal action from the Unibond League nearly scuppered this move, ^[1] but Sudbury started 2006-07 in the new division. ^[2] This new start was made without the management team of Gary Harvey and Michael Cheetham, who took the team up, as both resigned, citing work and family commitments, respectively. New manager, Mark Morsley, was appointed in May 2006, signed from Needham Market. Sudbury's first season at this level saw the club finish in fifth place, qualifying them for the promotion play-offs. After beating Enfield Town in the semi-final, Sudbury lost to Harlow Town in a penalty shoot-out.^[3] The Eastern Counties League Premier Division is the highest division in the Eastern Counties League (also known under a sponsorship contract as the Ridgeons League). ...

As well as dominating the Eastern Counties Premier Division Sudbury have enjoyed several successful runs in the national cup competitions. In 2000-01 the club reached the first round proper of the FA Cup before being comprehensively defeated away at Darlington. Sudbury have mostly made a name for themselves nationally in the FA Vase. In 2001-02 the club reached the competition's semi-finals, before being knocked out by Tiptree United. The following three seasons saw Sudbury reaching the final each year (a Vase record), but being defeated every time, by Brigg Town , Winchester City and Didcot Town, respectively. Sudbury have also won the Suffolk Premier Cup three times, in 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04, and the Ridgeons League Cup in 2005-06.

Colours and badge

A.F.C. Sudbury's colours are yellow shirts with blue shorts and yellow socks. Perhaps surprisingly, these were the colours of both the former Sudbury teams.

The club badge is the town crest of Sudbury, which incorporates a talbot dog with its tongue sticking out. Sudbury is a small, ancient market town in the county of Suffolk, England, on the River Stour, 15 miles from Colchester and 60 miles from London. ... The Talbot Hound was a snow white hunting dog in Great Britain that was of such large stature with such keen smell that it was credited with being capable of bringing down a white stag in the midst of winter. ...

Ground

Sudbury play their home games at the King's Marsh Stadium, previously home to Sudbury Wanderers. At the time of A.F.C. Sudbury's formation the ground consisted of two pitches, a training area, clubhouse, floodlights, a 200-seat stand on the West side of the main pitch and covered ends behind the goals. A 300-capacity terrace (The Shed) was constructed on the East side of the pitch in 2000, being the more vocal section of the ground. The ground is enclosed by fencing and there are three turnstiles. Sudbury Wanderers was a football club from Sudbury, Suffolk, England. ...

A.F.C. Sudbury recently sold Sudbury Town's former ground, the Priory Stadium for a new housing development. The money from this sale will allow A.F.C. Sudbury to make improvements at the Kings's Marsh, including a new clubhouse, with changing rooms.
