History

Early Years

Woking Football Club, nicknamed The Cards (from the Cardinal red of the red and white halves), was formed in 1889. The club joined the West Surrey League in 1895-96, winning the title by one point on the final day of the season. However, within 21 years of being formed, the club was in danger of folding for financial reasons. The turning point came when, in January 1908, Woking played Bolton Wanderers F.C. in the First Round of the FA Cup, having won through five qualifying rounds. Despite losing the away game 5-0, the club made it into the national press. Bolton Wanderers, impressed by the minnows they had defeated, travelled to Woking for a friendly match the following season, which kept the club solvent.^{[citation needed]} Year 1889 (MDCCCLXXXIX) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

Isthmian League years

In 1911 the club joined the Isthmian League, maintaining their place in the top division for 72 years and finishing as runners-up to Wycombe Wanderers in 1956-57. That achievement was eclipsed in the following season when, in front of a 71,000 crowd, the Cards beat Ilford F.C. 3-0 in the last FA Amateur Cup Final to be televised live. The club then went into decline, culminating in a first-ever relegation in 1982-83. By the end of the 1984-85 season the club had fallen further down the football ladder, being relegated to Division Two South of the Isthmian League. It was during that season that former player, Geoff Chapple, was appointed as manager. Although he was not able to save the club from relegation, Woking just missed out on promotion at the first attempt, the club clinched the Division Two South title in 1986-87. After two third place finishes in Division One, they were promoted back to the Premier Division at the end of the 1989-90 season.

Conference years

Promotion to the Conference

Promotion to the Conference was achieved in 1991-92. The Isthmian League title was clinched in early April, with seven games still to be played, 18 points clear of nearest rivals, Enfield. Few of the championship winning side were retained for the higher division and Woking finished the season in eighth position. The following summer saw Chapple sign former Chelsea, Sunderland, Fulham and QPR winger, Clive Walker, from Brighton & Hove Albion and he was to prove the catalyst in the most successful period in the club's history. The FA Trophy was won in 1994 when Runcorn were beaten on a waterlogged Wembley pitch. Twelve months later Kidderminster Harriers were beaten as Woking became only the second club ever to win successive finals. Wembley was revisited in 1997 and the FA Trophy was won for the third time, this time against Dagenham & Redbridge. The Cards also achieved five successive top five finishes in the Conference, including being runners-up in 1994-95 and 1995-96. The club also continued to enjoy national prominence in the FA Cup. Barnet were defeated in successive seasons following draws at their Underhill ground. In 1996-97 a run in the FA Cup saw the club beat Millwall, then top of Division Two, and Cambridge United, who were challenging for promotion from Division Three. The Third Round saw Woking draw 1-1 away to Premier League side Coventry City, thanks to a last minute equaliser from the Cards' Steve Thompson, but Coventry won the replay at Kingfield 2-1.

At the end of the 1996-97 campaign, having just clinched the FA Trophy for the third time, Geoff Chapple and his coach, Colin Lippiatt, left the club and joined Kingstonian. This was the beginning of a much less successful period for the club. John McGovern and then Brian McDermott were givent he position of manager, but neither achieved anything greater than a mid-table finish. After McDermott, Colin Lippiatt returned but fared little better. He was replaced by his former boss as Geoff Chapple too came back to Woking. Lippiatt departed in January 2002 and Glenn Cockerill joined as Chapple's assistant. This season ended with the club just one place above the relegation places. In the meantime very significant events had taken place off the field. The downturn in the club's fortunes had led to a financial crisis. With the club facing administration or worse, local businessman and long-time fan, Chris Ingram, came to the rescue, becoming Chairman in February 2002 with an aim of trying to increase the club's income and to secure its long-term financial stability.^{[citation needed]} The 1996-1997 season was the 117th season of competitive football in England. ...

The 2002-03 season saw the club get off to its best ever start in the Conference.^{[citation needed]} However, September brought seven consecutive defeats and a rapid descent into the relegation zone. Geoff Chapple resigned and Glenn Cockerill took over as manager, initially on a temporary basis. After an erratic run of results Woking only avoided relegation on the last day of the season, thanks to a win and the defeat of their relegation rivals. Subsequently, the club turned fully professional and the following season The Cards finished a more creditable ninth. The 2002-2003 season was the 123rd season of competitive football (soccer) in England, from August 2002 to July 2003: // England national team Key: ECQ = 2004 European Championship qualifiers, F = Friendly; scores are written England first European club competitions UEFA Champions League Manchester United - Quarter finals Arsenal - Second group phase...

In 2004-05 Woking started the season with a largely settled side, the only new signings being Shwan Jalal, Justin Richards and Stephen Evans. Hopes were high for concerted push for a play-off place. After a slowish start the team began to hit form from October onwards, building on a very mean defence, in which the central partnership of Jon Boardman and Luke Oliver were outstanding. A great run from late December saw the team move into the play-off places. Only an injury time goal from Scarborough deprived the Cards of second place with eight games to go. But then a combination of injuries and suspensions took their toll and the team found themselves on the final day with only an outside chance of making the play-offs. It wasn't to be, but the final placing of 8th, with 68 points, was the Cards' best achievement since 1997/98.

The 2005-06 season

Jimmy Aggrey and Karim El-Salahi joined from Bohemians and Crystal Palace to replace them, and strikers Lloyd Blackman and Craig McAllister arrived from Farnborough Town and Stevenage Borough respectively to boost the forward line. The re-signing of the influential midfielder Ian Selley was an important boost. Woking ended the season in 11th place.
