Recent history:
The Whites have steadily cemented themselves in the Conference over the past couple of seasons with two respectable mid-table positions since winning promotion to the non-league top-flight in 2006/07.
After their play-off final defeat of Braintree Town in Conference South that elevated Nick Holmes' side, the Wiltshire outfit finished 12th in their maiden season and followed that up by finishing 16th in 2008/09 - after originally leading the division in September.
In April 2009 year the club was put up for sale for £1 to encourage investors to help the club survive.
FACT: The Raymond McEnhill Stadium has been a breeding ground for nurturing Town starlets in recent seasons with George Beavan and Ed Asafu-Adjaye both enjoying loan spells at the Wiltshire club.
