History

The club was founded as simply Salisbury F.C. in 1947. A previous club had existed under the name Salisbury City prior to World War II but the current club does not consider itself to be connected to this club and uses the 1947 date of formation.

The club immediately entered the Western League and won the Second Division title at the very first attempt. An attendance of 8,902, a figure never beaten, saw the championship decider, a 1-1 draw against Weymouth. Salisbury remained members of the Western League until 1968, winning the championship in 1957-58 and 1960-61 as well as finishing second on four occasions and reaching the FA Cup first round on four occasions and the second round once.

In 1993 the club’s name was officially changed to Salisbury City, and in 1994-95 they won the Southern League Southern Division championship. After redevelopment work at the council-owned Victoria Park, the club was able to step up to the Premier Division, a promotion which had been denied them two years earlier due to ground gradings.

Salisbury lasted seven seasons in the Premier Division, but troubles off the field eventually led to the departure of manager Geoff Butler, who had been in the role for more than 17 seasons. Relegation followed and the club came close to being wound-up before being saved by a consortium led by one of the club's sponsors, Neville Beal, who was also able to tempt former Southampton player Nick Holmes, at the time living in the USA, to take over as manager in 2002. In the 2003-04 season, Salisbury gained promotion from the Southern League Eastern Division by finishing sixth, but a re-organisation of the English football league system saw them placed in the Isthmian League Premier Division, although after one season they were switched back to the Southern League Premier Division, which they won at the first attempt to gain a place in the Conference South. On 13 May 2007, they defeated Braintree Town 1-0 in the Conference South promotion playoff final, earning a promotion spot to Conference National.
