They played in the Cheltenham League, winning the Division One title in 1927\u201328 and again in 1929\u201330.[2] They joined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League in 1935, but left after two season.[3] Returning to the Cheltenham League, they were Division One champions again in 1948\u201349, before winning back-to-back titles in 1954\u201355 and 1955\u201356.[2] In 1957 they rejoined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League, but left again after finishing second-from-bottom in 1960\u201361.[4] However, they returned for the 1962\u201363 season.[4] They left the league again at the end of the 1963\u201364 season, but returned in 1965 and were runners-up in 1965\u201366, before going on to win back-to-back titles in 1966\u201367 and 1967\u201368.[4]In 1968 Cirencester were founder members of the Gloucestershire County League, but after a single season in the new league they moved up to the Premier Division of the Hellenic League.[5] They were relegated to Division One at the end of the 1971\u201372 season, but were promoted back to the Premier Division after winning Division One in 1973\u201374.[5] The club returned to Division One after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in the 1977\u201378 season.[5]The 1990\u201391 season saw the club finish as Division One runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division. They were Premier Division runners-up the following season, and won the league in 1995\u201396, earning promotion to Division One South of the Southern League.[5] The season also saw them win the Gloucestershire Senior Cup, beating Endsleigh 2\u20131 in the final.[6] The division was renamed Division One West in 1999, and after finishing third in 2003\u201304, the club were promoted to the Premier Division.[5]The next few years saw Cirencester becoming a yo-yo club as they were relegated in 2007\u201308 and then promoted in 2009\u201310 after finishing fifth and winning the promotion play-offs, beating AFC Totton 3\u20132 in the semi-final and Bridgwater Town 4\u20133 in the final.[7] They were relegated again at the end of the 2011\u201312 season after finishing bottom of the Premier Division, but returned to the division after winning Division One South & West in 2013\u201314.[5] They won the Gloucestershire Senior Cup again in 2014\u201315, beating Shortwood United in the final.[8] In 2018\u201319 the club were runners-up in Division One South, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. However, they lost 2\u20131 to Cinderford Town in the semi-finals.Development team[edit]The Development Team, born out of the previous season’s Under-16s team, “made their bow” in the 2009\u201310 season playing in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Reserve Division 2 West, and against all expectations, won the division title convincingly to be promoted to the Reserve Division 1. After a restructuring of the Hellenic League they were allocated to Division 2 West which they duly won and were promoted to Division 1 West where they finished fourth in their first season. This team continues to provide a solid platform for younger players to develop and progress to the first team.The club has played at the Corinium Stadium since moving from the Smithfield ground in 2002.[9] The ground has also been used by Gloucester City (2008\u20132010) and Wootton Bassett Town. It has a capacity of 4,500, of which 550 is seated and 1,250 covered.[1]Honours[edit]Southern LeagueDivision One South & West champions 2013\u201314Hellenic LeaguePremier Division champions 1995\u201396Division One champions 1973\u201374Gloucestershire Northern Senior LeagueChampions 1966\u201367, 1967\u201368Cheltenham LeagueDivision One champions 1927\u201328, 1929\u201330, 1948\u201349, 1954\u201355, 1955\u201356Senior Charities Cup winners 1948\u201349, 1949\u201350, 1955\u201356[10]Gloucestershire Senior CupWinners 1995\u201396, 2015\u201316Records[edit]Highest league position: 7th in the Southern League Premier Division, 2004\u201305[5]Best FA Cup performance: Fourth qualifying round, 2001\u201302, 2003\u201304[5]Best FA Trophy performance: Third round, 2002\u201303[5]Best FA Vase performance: Third round: 1975\u201376, 1976\u201377[5]Record attendance: 2,600 vs Fareham Town, 1969[1]Record transfer fee paid: \u00a34,000 to Gloucester City for Lee SmithSee also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Coordinates: 51\u00b042\u203242\u2033N 1\u00b056\u203240\u2033W\ufeff \/ \ufeff51.71175\u00b0N 1.944542\u00b0W\ufeff \/ 51.71175; -1.944542"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki13\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki13\/cirencester-town-f-c-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Cirencester Town F.C. – Wikipedia"}}]}]
