Early Days: 1880-1939
Football has been played in the town of Marlborough since the 1880s, when a number of Marlborough clubs played on the area of grass now known as The Common.
Demand for a proper club to represent the town was high, around the turn of the 1900s, and on July 5th 1904 Marlborough Town Football Club came into being.
Marlborough Town joined The Wiltshire Combination in 1910, but achieved little in the way of League or Cup success.
World War One (1914-1918) would see football suspended nationally.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the club fared little better in The Wiltshire Combination, finishing either mid-table or close to the bottom of the league. The club would disband (albeit temporarily) before the outbreak of World War Two.
