Woodford Town Football Club is a football club from Woodford, London, based at the Goldsdown Stadium in Brimsdown.
Original club
The club considers itself a continuation of Woodford Town F.C. (1937), who existed between 1937 and 2003.[1]
Present club
Goffs Oak F.C. were founded in 2007 and started competing in the Premier Division of the Hertford and District Football League, finishing second in the 2007-08 season. In 2010, they won promotion to the Herts Senior County League, winning Division One at their first attempt. Promotion to the Premier Division saw them move to Goldsdown Road in Brimsdown.
Bush Hill Rangers F.C. were founded as an under-12s team by Soner Mustafa in 2003. The club grew to incorporate youth teams for a number of age groups. By 2011, the club's under-18s side were looking to progress onto adult football, and came to an agreement with Goffs Oak to become their reserve side, winning the Herts Senior Reserve League in their first season.
In June 2012, Goffs Oak and Bush Hill Rangers merged into one club, with the club taking the latter's name and remaining in the Herts Senior County League. In their first season, they competed in the FA Vase for the first time, losing to Cranfield United after a replay.
In 2014, an application to join the Spartan South Midlands League was successful. The club will compete in Division One, the 10th tier of English football, in the 2014-15 season.[2]
In 2015, the club merged with Woodford Town Junior Football Club and was renamed Woodford Town F.C.
Issues with the pitch at Goldsdown Road forced the club to sit out the 2016-17 season and leave the SSML.
