Gresley FC are the reincarnation of Gresley Rovers, who folded in 2008-09. Gresley Rovers, you may remember, won the Dr Marten’s league in 1997 (at the time step two) earning them promotion to the Conference – the first village side to win that division. Unfortunately, they were denied promotion based on ground criteria. A decade later and mounting debts forced them to fold.
The original club have been going since 1882 and they have played at their Moat Ground for just over 100 years, since 1909. Their name comes from the village they represent in the suburbs of Swadlincote, in Derbyshire, itself a small town. The village is Church Gresley and has a population of just under 5,000.
