List of Leamington F.C. seasons
Leamington Football Club is a football club based in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. They are currently members of the National League North and play at the New Windmill Ground near Bishop's Tachbrook.
Early history
[edit]The club was established in 1933 as the works team of Lockheed Borg & Beck,[1] gaining the nickname "the Brakes" as a result of the products manufactured by the company.[2][3] They initially played in the Warwick & District League, before joining the Coventry Works League for the 1934–35 season.[1] In 1940 the club transferred to the Leamington & District League, but returned to the Coventry Works League two years later.[1] In 1944 they changed leagues again, becoming members of the Coventry & District League.[1] In 1947 the club was renamed Lockheed Leamington when they joined the Central Amateur League.[2][3] After two third-place finishes the club joined the Birmingham Combination in 1949.
