NUNEATON TOWN / BOROUGH -
Club Nickname: 'The Boro’

Recent History:
March 2008 saw a take over from the board that had run the club from 1991.
The new directors soon found they had inherited excessive debts despite the sale of Manor Park to property developers.
The new club reverted to its former name of Nuneaton Town and were demoted two divisions from Conference North to Southern League Division One.
Following the demotion to the Southern League Midlands Division the club gained promotion following a 1-0 play-off final victory over Chasetown at Liberty Way.

The next season, 2009/10, Nuneaton found themselves in the Southern League Premier Division with several teams that were spending vast sums chasing promotion.
After a slow start the team went on a fantastic run that saw them beaten only once at home and included a run of 14 straight victories, narrowing a 24 point gap between the leaders Farnborough to just 2 points at the end of the season.
Again, the play-offs beckoned and a 6-0 thrashing of big spending Brackley Town in the semi-final saw home advantage given to Nuneaton who faced Chippenham.
The final went into extra time and it was befitting that a local player, Eddie Nisevic, who had come through the ranks, got the winning goal returning Nuneaton to the Conference North.

Nuneaton’s return to the Conference North for the 2010/11 saw them start well and remain in the top six up until Christmas, where they gained top spot until the last week in March.
Eventually after other clubs played their games in hand, Nuneaton finished just outside of the play-offs.
Fortune smiled on The Boro when the club above them, Eastwood Town, were prevented from taking part in the play-offs due to a technical problem.
Nuneaton faced AFC Telford Utd in the Play Off Semi-Finals but went down 2-1 on aggregate.

The 2011/12 season was to see Nuneaton gain promotion back to the Conference Premier for the first time in 10 years.
After maintaining a high league position throughout the season Boro' were dealt a blow as the season entered its final few weeks when an administration error led to a 6 point deduction.
This seemed to spur the team on and a final day 3-2 victory at Blyth Spartans ensured their play-off place.
A superb semi-final 2nd leg victory over Guiseley, with a goal from Andy Brown in the last minute of extra time, meant that Boro had to travel to Gainsborough Trinity for the Play–Off Final.
Again Brown (ironically the player concerned in the admin mishap) was the goal hero in a game that saw Boro claim a 1-0 victory amid wild scenes of delight amongst the travelling supporters as the club won their place back in non-league’s top tier.

The 2012/13 season saw Boro pitting their wits against the countries non-league elite.
Up against many full time clubs it took a while to get to grips with their new environment but Boro's team spirit and work ethic never waivered.
Despite spending much of the season in and around the relegation zone a terrific run towards the end of the season saw Boro eventually finish in 15th place.

The 2013/14 season surpassed all expectations with Boro leading the table early on and featuring in and around the play-off positions for most of the season.
After manager Kevin Wilkin left for Wrexham, results tailed off in the last month or so of the season but they still finished in 13th position.
A new manager, Brian Reid, was appointed and oversaw the last 3 games of the season.

Season 2014/15 marked the Club's 125th Anniversary. However, Boro made a poor start and this resulted in Brian Reid being replaced as manager by Liam Daish. Despite the managerial change Boro were in the relegation zone for most of the season and finally finished bottom of the table. Liam Daish parted company with the Club at the end of the season and was replaced by Kevin Wilson shortly afterwards.

In season 2015/16 Kevin Wilson was joined by former Forest favourite Steve Chettle as the club looked to bounce back at the first attempt. A 3 point deduction cost them a place in the play-offs as they finished 6th. They reached the Birmingham Senior Cup semi-final beating AFC Wulfrunians 10-0 along the way before being beaten by Birmingham City at home.

In season 2016/17, after a difficult start, Kevin Wilson left the club and was replaced as manager by Tommy Wright. A nine match unbeaten run helped them to league safety and to reach the FA Trophy 3rd Round before bowing out to York City, they eventually finished in 12th place.

Season 2017/18 saw Boro again struggling at the wrong end of the table when, in October, manager Tommy Wright quit the club to take over at Darlington. He was replaced by Tunisian Dino Maamria who turned the teams fortunes around, guiding them to mid-table safety. This remarkable turnaround earned him a move into league football when he was appointed as manager of Stevenage in March 2018. Gary Charles took charge for the remainder of the season with Boro finishing in 13th place.

Season 2018/19 saw the club revert back to their former name Nuneaton Borough after overwhelming support for the change from supporters. Nicky Eaden was installed as manager with former Boro player Lee Fowler as his assistant. However, the Club was in turmoil off the pitch and almost went out of existence on several occasions. Only the staff and supporters outstanding dedication kept the Club alive and the arrival of lifelong Boro fan Jimmy Ginnelly as manager, and subsequently chairman, saw the Club survive. Inevitably such turmoil had an impact on the playing side and Boro were relegated from the National League North.

Season 2019/20 - the season that never was! Boro competed in the Southern League Central Premier Division and whilst always in touch with the leading pack spells of indifferent form saw them flatter to deceive. The season was ended early, and declared null and void, due to the Covid-19 pandemic with Boro 3 points outside of the play-off places although crucially a number of rivals held games in hand.

Season 2020/21 - a second season that fell victim to the Covid-19 pandemic. Only 8 league games were played and with an injury ravaged squad Boro made an indifferent start. However, shortly before the season was curtailed a number of influential players returned to fitness and Boro were beginning to click. The season ended with Boro 4 points outside of the play-off places.

Season 2021/22 - Work continued off the pitch to stabilise the club financially. On the pitch Boro had a tough season and found themselves at the wrong end of the table for most of the campaign. The threat of relegation hung over them until just before the last game of the season which they won 1-0 to secure a 16th place finish.

Season 2022/23 - Boro challenged at the right end of the table and earned a play-off place. They hosted Rushall Olympic in the Play-Off Final in front of a crowd of over 3,500. After the game ended goalless Boro agonisingly went down 4-3 on penalties.

Season 2023/24 - Disaster struck for Boro in January 2024 when years of financial difficulties came to a head and forced the club to withdraw from the Southern League. The club’s demise signalled the end of an era for Nuneaton Borough FC.
