Salisbury City F.C.

After redevelopment work at the council-owned Victoria Park, the club was able to step up to the Premier Division, a promotion which had been denied them two years earlier due to ground gradings.As well as winning promotion, 2006–07 saw Salisbury embark on one of their most successful FA Cup runs, reaching the 2nd Round for only the second time in the club's history, where they were drawn against Nottingham Forest.In front of a record attendance at The Raymond McEnhill Stadium of 3,100, Salisbury held Forest to a 1–1 draw live on BBC One.From September 2009, Salisbury City FC was being run by Carl Faulds and Michael Fortune operating as agents and contracting for Portland Business and Financial Solutions.Long-serving Nick Holmes followed him out the door, which left Darrell Clarke and Mikey Harris in temporary charge of a depleted squad in the lead up to the season.Striker Matt Tubbs also left that summer to join Crawley Town for a club record fee, thought to be around £70,000.[11] Despite having a new manager and many new faces, Salisbury had a good start to the 2010–11 season and were unbeaten at home in the league until they lost to title rivals Truro City 6–0 in February 2011.This resulted in a trip to Hednesford for the play-off final, and after a gripping game that finished 2–2 after extra time due to a late equaliser from Ben Adelsbury, Salisbury won 3–2 on penalties, clinching promotion back to the Conference South.A crowd of 2,161 were at the Ray Mac Stadium to witness The Whites hold Grimsby to a 0–0 draw meaning they would replay at Blundell Park on 13 December.They disposed of fellow Conference South side Weston Super-Mare 2–0 at the Ray Mac before comfortably beating Lowestoft Town 4–1 at home.While success in the cups had been considerable, The Whites' league form suffered for it, with many inconsistent results, as well as poor performances, seeing Salisbury slip down the table into a relegation battle, despite a promising start.Despite this, The Whites did manage to secure a surprise 2–0 win at home to runaway league leaders Woking, which signaled a turn around in their fortunes.Salisbury's ongoing financial problems were also improved upon during the season, thanks firstly to their long run in the FA Cup, which saw them pocket around £100,000, as well as the sale of former striker Matt Tubbs from Crawley Town to AFC Bournemouth for a fee believed to be around £800,000, which saw The Whites receive a fee worth around 15%, due to a sell-on clause.In the Semi Final, they faced Chelmsford City, beating The Clarets 2–1 on aggregate, after a hotly contested 2 legged tie.[18] Former Northern Ireland international Warren Feeney was later made Harris's right-hand man after joining as a player-assistant manager for the upcoming season.The record league attendance figure of 2,677 was set on 28 December 2009 when Salisbury City played Oxford United, drawing 1–1.
