Grantham Rangers FC was originally formed in July 1998. This was a result of a meeting between Mr Michael Bailey and Mr Geoff Green. During their conversation it was apparent that there was not a team in the area that would afford local players the chance to step out of the local league and try to make the step up the level of the town's premier team, Grantham Town FC.
The first season saw the newly formed Grantham Rangers FC finish a creditable 5th in the Grantham premier division. Such was the ambition of the team who were joined by Mr David Newboult that an application was made to join the United Counties League was made but were turned down( reason being no teams were allowed to ground share in the UCL ). Not to be knocked back the Central Midlands League were approached and the club was made to feel very welcome and once permission to join the league was obtained from the football association, Rangers step up in to the pyramid was complete.
