Warmley F.C.

Warmley F.C. was a football club based in Warmley, near Kingswood, England. They were formed in 1882.[1] They are widely regarded as playing the first organised football match in the Bristol region against St George.[1]

Alongside Clifton, St George and Eastville Rovers they were founder members of the Gloucestershire F.A.[1] They were also one of the founding members of the Bristol & District League (now the Western Football League) in 1892, winning the title four times in their history.

In 1896, Warmley joined the Second Division of the Southern League, before both Bristol City and Bristol Rovers. The 1897–98 season saw the club finishing in second place to Royal Artillery (forerunners to Portsmouth) in the process becoming the first team in the Southern League to score 100 goals in a season.

The club now competed in the First Division alongside other Bristol sides City and Bedminster. Only seventeen matches were completed before the club folded in February 1899.

A new club formed and entered the Western League again in 1903. The club resigned in the 1904–05 season and its season record was expunged.

gollark: My webserver seems to have decided to stop webserving and just has some cryptic error about goroutines and a stack trace. What joy.
gollark: The bug (at least in the form everyone was using) was affecting iOS.
gollark: It's not a kernel one, it's in their text rendering library.
gollark: In the "effective power" one, the problem was apparently some issue with processing text for display in shortened form in notifications where it accessed the wrong memory address, which made the entire process doing that exit, and apparently for some bizarre reason when the notification process exited it brought the entire OS down.
gollark: True, true, you'd expect them to have better sandboxing or something.
