Warrington Town F.C. are a football club based in Warrington, Cheshire, England. They were established in 1949 under the name of Stockton Heath Albion. In 1961, they changed to their present name Warrington Town.
Warrington embraced the industrial revolution becoming a manufacturing town and a centre of steel (particularly wire), textiles, brewing, tanning and chemical industries. The navigational properties of the river Mersey were improved, canals were built, and the town grew yet more prosperous and popular. When the age of steam came, Warrington naturally welcomed it, both as a means of transport and as a source of power for its mills. The Town is well known for Warrington Wolves Rugby League .
The ground is on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in the shadow of the imposing Cantilever Bridge which dominates the areas skyline, and from which the ground takes its name.

Today's opponents AFC Fylde will be hoping to coast to victory and consolidate their top position in the league backed by ' The In Crowd . '
The first half is dominated by 'The Coasters' but a mixture of poor finishing and frantic defending results in a 0-0 scoreline at the break

More pressure on the 'Yellows' goal
Richie Allen looks dangerous in the second half and has an uncanny knack of appearing aloof , loosing defenders , sneaking in unannounced . Reminds me of Rooney the way he creates space betwwen the midfield and attacking third of the pitch .. Didn't surprise me when he opened the scoring after 58 minutes with a sweetly hit shot , low inside the post , curling tantalizing beyond the 'keepers reach , nestling in the corner of the net . I'd man mark him , no question ; second time i've seen him and he's as crafty as they come . Uses his body well to shrug off opponents and 'ghosts' in from nowhere .

Town begin to create more and are unlucky to see a shot hit the crossbar after a melee in the box . The Coasters defence is stern with the central defenders putting in a solid shift . Fylde hang on for an important hard earned victory . Warrington put in a decent display , frustrating The Coasters throughout the match .
AFC Fylde need to defeat Salford City in their next match to take the tiltle or it may go to the wire .
