Wokingham & Emmbrook F.C. are a football club based in Wokingham, Berkshire, England. The club was formed in 2004, as a merger of Wokingham Town and Emmbrook Sports. Their nickname is "The Satsumas", a reference to the team's colours.

Wokingham Town were champions of the Isthmian League First Division in 1980-81, reached the first round of the FA Cup in 1982-83 taking Cardiff City to a replay and the semi-finals of the FA Trophy in 1987-88. Among their former players were Darren Barnard, Terry Brown, Paul Bence and Phil Alexander. Established in 1989, Emmbrook Sports had a much more modest history, being long-term members of the Reading League.

In November 2007, Wokingham Borough Council submitted a planning application to improve the facilities at Wokingham & Emmbrook's Cantley Park home. This would include a small stand accommodating 250 people and also flood lighting. [1]

In December 2009, the club agreed a ground share with near neighbours Bracknell Town which ensured that after winning promotion in season 2009/10, they were able to compete in the Hellenic League Premier Division. [2]

Collaboration with Woodley Town F.C.

During October 2011 Woodley Town F.C. announced plans to join forces with Wokingham and Emmbrook F.C. to create a 'super-club' for the region. However this plan has not yet been fully confirmed.

Wokingham have been attempting to upgrade their pitch at Cantley Park for years. But the council have insisited that the park should remain in public use in its entirity and not sold off to private clubs. [3]
