The late sixties and early seventies were mostly spent in the doldrums, and the club continued without success until the formation of the North West Counties Football League in 1982 proved to be a springboard for them to start to move up the pyramid. Originally placed in the third division of the new league, Town immediately gained promotion as runners up, and quickly established themselves as one of the division two most powerful clubs, missing out on promotion by a small margins on no fewer than three occasions.

Promotion to the Northern Premier League was gained in 1989-90, but the club had very little success after that until 1992-93 when a fantastic FA Trophy run ended in the quarter finals at Sutton United F.C., earning them a cool £5,000 for being the furthest non-exempt team left in the competition. On the away to Sutton United, Town had beaten Welsh Football Conference side Merthyr Tydfil, which earned them a team of the round prize. In the Cheshire Senior Cup, they were victorious at Macclesfield Town and Hyde United F.C. on way to a semi final place, while in the League Cup, they went one further becoming the first ever Division One Side to reach the final. In front of a large crowd at Maine Road, Town matched premier league runners up Winsford United all the way, but Winsford took the trophy home following a penalty shoot out.

A high number of injuries together with problems behind the scenes and a disappointing lack of goals in 1993-94 hindered the team, although they reached the semi final of the Cheshire Senior Cup, beating Football Conference side Witton Albion on the way, and were in with a chance of promotion until the last few weeks of the season.

In 1994-95 was another successful year for Town, who made it into the draw for the FA Cup first round proper for the first time ever, a last gasp equaliser at Hyde United forcing a replay, the winners of which would entertain Darlington. Town have still to play in the first round proper, as Hyde United F.C. won the replay. Town also took Chorley to a replay in the league cup, having beaten Barrow along the away, but once their interest in that competition was over the club, were able to focus on their main aim of the season promotion to the premier division. An amazing run where they won eleven games from their last fifteen games was not quite good enough. Town finished in third place, missing out on promotion by just one point.

The close season 1996 saw yet another change of management as Tommy left for pastures new to be replaced by Alan Lord, unfortunately the partnership parted just before Christmas and Simon Rudge came back and brought Ray Birch as his assistant. The change came too late to save Town from relegation but the run did show some promise.

Financial problems both on and off the pitch beset Town in 1996-97 and a new committee was formed under Chairman Harry Boden & Steve Jones. Relegation to Division One of the North West Counties League was followed by demotion on ground grading criteria to Division Two and a rationalisation of the clubs finances coupled with the appointment of Dave Hughes as Football Manager & Ian Dick as his secretary has seen Town's image improve dramatically. Ian had to return to Scotland, and Dave stepped down to assistant manager, with Alan Blair becoming manager.
