Feltham Football Club was a semi-professional football club in Feltham, Greater London, England.

History

The club was established in 1991 as a merger between Feltham and Hounslow, and was initially named Feltham & Hounslow Borough.[1] The new club took Feltham's place in the Isthmian League, starting in Division Three.[1] In 1995 the club was renamed Feltham and dropped into the Combined Counties League due to ground grading issues.[1][2][3] When the league gained a second division in 2003 they were played in the Premier Division, but after finishing second-from-bottom in 2005–06 they were relegated to Division One.[2]

In May 2012 the club merged with Bedfont Football & Social Club to form Bedfont & Feltham.[4]

Ground

The club played at Feltham Arenas before leaving in 2004 with the intention of moving to a new ground at Green Lane in Hounslow.[3] They shared at Egham Town in 2004-05 and then Hampton & Richmond Borough, before moving to share with Bedfont at the Orchard on Hatton Road in Feltham.[5] At the time of the club's dissolution, it had a capacity of 1,200.[6]
