Portishead Town F.C., formerly Portishead A.F.C., are a football club based in Portishead, Somerset, England founded in 1912. The club is affiliated to the Somerset County FA.
History
Originally known St. Peter's Portishead until a name change in 1948, the club played in small regional leagues for years until joining the Somerset County League in 1975.[1] They won the Premier Division title four times in five years between 1993–94 and 1997–98.[2] After their fourth successive runner-up campaign in the 2004–05 season, Portishead successfully applied for promotion to the Western League.[3]
In Portishead's first season of Western League football they finished in the top half of the table only to better their performance the following season. In 2006–07 Portishead achieved their highest ever finish in the history of the club finishing runners-up to Truro City Although Portishead finished as runners-up they were unable to be promoted to the Western League Premier Division as their ground was not suitable, lacking (at that time) floodlights.
The club also runs several other teams. The reserve squad plays in the Somerset County League Division one, while the 'A', 'B', and 'Colts' teams all play in the Weston super Mare and District League. The club also runs a ladies team and youth teams catering for boys and girls.
Ground
