History

Wigan Robin Park Football Club was founded in 2005 and joined the Manchester Football League – a feeder league of the North West Counties divisions. After winning the Manchester League in 2007–08 they were promoted to the North West Counties League Division One.

The 2011–12 season saw success for the club after they were crowned champions of Division One, winning promotion to the Premier Division.[2]

In January 2014, Steve Halliwell announced that Darryl Picton would be replacing him as chairman.[3][4]

After playing two seasons in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division, they were relegated to Division One at the end of the 2013–14 season.
