Origins and History

Originally formed as an offshoot of the town's cricket club, Buxton Football Club began life in the autumn of 1877. Its first game took place on Saturday, October 27th, at The Park (still the home of the cricket club) when 14 members picked sides for a 7-a-side match. In the next few years, the club played its home matches in fields at Cote Heath, off London Road and at Green Lane before moving to its current ground at the Silverlands in 1884, then a field owned by Frank Drewry, the club's first captain. The first game there was a Derbyshire Cup tie on Saturday, November 1st, when "the Bucks" defeated Bakewell 2-0.

Situated over 1000 feet above sea level, the Silverlands is the highest ground within the Pyramid of football and substantially higher than the highest Football League ground which is The Hawthorns built in 1900, standing at 551 feet above sea level. After Buxton come the grounds of Tow Law Town F.C. (984 ft) and A.F.C. Emley (606ft). A grade "A" ground, the Main Stand has seats for 500 and the 2 covered terraces provide accommodation for a total of 2,000. The facilities at the ground are to be developed further prior to the start of the 2007/08 season. This is a partial list of English football stadia, ranked in descending order of altitude. ... The Hawthorns is the home of West Bromwich Albion F.C. in West Bromwich, West Midlands, England. ... Tow Law Town are a non-league football team in the village of Tow Law, County Durham. ... AFC Emley are an English football club based in Emley, West Yorkshire. ...

The club entered The Combination in 1891 and joined the Manchester League in 1899, winning the championship in 1931/32, which prompted a move to the Cheshire League for the following season (though the reserve side remained in the Manchester League and won the title in 1959/60). It took 40 years to bring the Cheshire League title to Buxton, though the club had been runners-up in 1962/63. Promotion to the NPL for the 1973/74 season was an opportunity eagerly seized and honours in this league comprise the winning of the President's Cup in 1980/81 and a League Cup final appearance at Maine Road in 1990/91. The club's highest NPL final placing was 4th position achieved in 1980/81, though it was not until September 10th, 1991 "the Bucks" actually topped the NPL (eventually finishing 5th).

Buxton's best years in the F.A. Cup came in the two decades after World War Two. In 1951/52 the club, having defeated then Football League Club, Aldershot, 4-3, reached the third round proper only to lose 2-0 at Division 2 side Doncaster Rovers, while first round appearances followed in 1958 and 1962. However in the 2003/04 season Buxton reached the fourth qualifying round only to meet their match at Nigel Clough's Burton Albion. The early days of the F.A. Trophy however saw the club develop a considerable reputation, reaching the quarter-finals in 1970/71 and 1971/72. A full member of the F.A. and the Derbyshire F.A., Buxton F.C. has won the Derbyshire Senior Cup 8 times, including 3 times in the 1980's.

A members' club run by an elected committee for most of its life, Buxton F.C. became a Limited Company in June 1993 and is run by a board of 9 directors and volunteers. The club was beset by financial problems after the establishment of the National Lottery and successive relegations in 1997 and 1998 took it to the Northern Counties East League. Following several seasons of struggle a substantial revival began with the arrival in May 2002 of managers Kenny Johnson and Ronnie Wright. They brought several quality players to the club but departed in December 2004 following a poor start to the 2004/05 campaign to be replaced by ex Chesterfield, Bradford City and Grimsby boss Nicky Law and his assistant Chris Marples.They left the club at the end of the 2007 season to join conference north side Alfreton Town. The Northern Counties East League is an English association football league that was founded in 1982 by the merger of the former Yorkshire League and Midland Counties League. ... Nicky Law (born 8 September 1961 in Greenwich) is an English football manager and former player. ... There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ... Alfreton Town F.C. is an Association football club based in Alfreton, Derbyshire. ...

The end of the 2005/06 season saw Buxton crowned as League and Presidents Cup Champions and thus earn promotion to the Northern Premier League First Division for the 2006/07 season. They were crowned Division 1 champions on Saturday April 14th, 2007 and achieved a second successive promotion into the Northern Premier League Premier Division. They are also the winners of the Northern Premier League Presidents Cup for the 2006/07 season. The Northern Premier League First Division is an football league covering the north of England. ...
