Could a non league giant in Buckingham Town FC be the next
football club to go out of buisness?
Buckingham Town was formed in 1883 and has had much success on
the non league circuit. This includes:
FA Vase
record
Buckingham Town
have had a lot of success in the past in the FA Vase.
They are rated in 2000 as having the 4th best record in
the competition by the “Non-League Club Directory”
having entered for 22 seasons and reaching the 6th round
on two occasions in 1990-91 and 1992-1993 seasons. FA
Vase record at the archive index.

FA Cup
record
Their
best run in the FA Cup was to the first round in 1984-85
where they played Leyton Orient, losing in front of their
record attendance of 2,451.
|
FA Trophy
record
They
also competed in the FA Trophy from 1994 for three
seasons
In 2005 they even managed to sign Ex Arsenal player
Christopher Wreh cousain of Footballing legend George
Weah.
Buckingham Town have witnessed many good times in their
long 127 year history.
But now the club has gone into deep financial
trouble. They have been given a deadline of July
2010 to pay a £6,000 debt or they will be forced to lock
the gates for ever. The financial problems have led
to the playing staff being told their wages will have to
stop (which led to a mass exodus of players leaving),
& The ladlord locking the gates to the stadium
leading to matches being postponed.
HELP NEEDED
Buckingham Town and the local community
for the past 4 weeks have launched a campaign called
'SAVE OUR FOOTBALL CLUB'
Queens Park Rangers FC from the Coca Cola Championship
have offered help. BTFC first team captain Chris
Robson met with QPR chairman Gianni Paladini and Media
Manager Paul Morrissey and came up with a plan to help
BTFC. QPR's generosity has seen them help BTFC by
donating;
* 2 signed shirts & 2 signed footballs for BTFC
to auction at a fund raising event.
* A donation from the club to help with the
financial problems
* A advert in a home programme and on www.qpr.co.uk to make the QPR
fanbase aware of the help and a link to donate if they
wish.
If any QPR fans would like follow QPR's lead and
help with donations please visit www.bt-fc.co.uk and scroll
down to the 'SAVE THE ROBINS' campaign.
Buckingham Town FC to the local community is the same as
QPR to you fans. Imagine a Saturday without QPR or
no QPR at all? It is a nightmare that could be a
relaity to the good people of Buckingham.
SAVE BUCKINGHAM TOWN FC!!!!
