We now enter the eighth season under the name of the newly formed SNAFC and progress over these years has been remarkable. Under the chairmanship of Phil Bailey who has completely single handed at times, transformed the stadium into what we see today. Entry back into the pyramid system with the Central Midlands League saw the club finish 11th / 3rd / 3rd and 9th and then runners up in the Southern division. Due to Clifton failing FA ground grading regs, we were promoted to the East Midlands Counties league under the management of Mark Wilson. Mark left early in the first season for a position with Rocester but Tom Leighton took over as player manager and guided the club to a 7th position and the club won the Jenkins and Jenkins League cup. This position brought us re-entry back into the FA Cup and we were not disgraced to go out in the second preliminary round replay to EVOSTIK Lincoln United. This year we hope to go further.
Tom’s first full season in charge saw the club finish 4th after for much of the season looking favourites to win the title. A second league cup final was achieved but we lost our un neaten record in this competition to Aylestone Park 2 – 1. Last season saw us regain Step 5 status when after a long season of many ups and downs we finished second to West Bridgford FC but were offered promotion to the Midland Football League. We now hope to move to the highest level the club has reached if we can progress to step 4

The club first competed in the Vase in 1994 when in an extra preliminary round game at Home to Long Eaton United saw them win 3 – 0 to set up a game at Bradford Park Avenue (Where are they now?) eventually losing 6 – 4

The best season in the competition saw them reach round 2 Proper in 2006-7
against one of the local clubs as these early rounds are regionalised.

With the club getting the infrastructure in place we hope to make the next step to level 4 and with the help of our enthusiastic president Mike Robinson with whom we named the stadium after (M J Robinson Structures Arena) We also have a second string to the club under the name of South Normanton FC who compete in the Central Midlands South Division. We hope they can push us all the way but not overtake us.
