AFC Telford United


Formed in 2004 to replace the folded Telford United, it has been a rollercoaster decade and a bit for the new club, rising from the first division of the Northern League through to the Conference and back now to the National League (Conference) North where the Bucks are currently involved in a scrap for survival.

Those are only the bare statistics, behind which is the huge effort it takes to get a club, especially one that is owned by its own supporters, off the ground and then keep it afloat both on the pitch and in the local community.

For 2016/17, AFC Telford United have cut season ticket prices by 24% for Adults (£179) and 33% for Concessions (£136) for those supporters who purchase by the early bird deadline of 26 March.

A detailed explanation on the official club website sets out the aims of the offer, to attract new and lapsed fans of course with attendances having dropped sharply after relegation from the top tier of Non-League football but also to help build further links with the local community, and also of the club’s ambitions for the next four years or so.
