Airbus UK F.C. is a football team based in Broughton, North Wales, a few miles from the city of Chester. They are the works team of the Airbus aerospace factory where the wings of the Airbus airliner are produced, and are consequently nicknamed The Wingmakers or The Planemakers. The club was promoted to the League of Wales for the first time in 2004, and normally play at The Airfield, Broughton (capacity 2,100, 250 of whom are seated); however as their pitch could not be brought up to League of Wales standards in time following their promotion, for their first season in the League they will share Conwy United F.C.'s ground. The Airfield features unusual retracting floodlights as it is adjacent to an operational runway. Football is a ball game played between two teams of eleven players, each attempting to win by scoring more goals than their opponent. ...
