Tring Athletic Football Club are anEnglish football club based inTring,Hertfordshire. The club are currently members of theSpartan South Midlands League Premier Division and play at The Michael Anthony Stadium.
Tring Athletic Youth FC were established in March 1958, when the founders contributed towards the purchase of 3.4 acres (14,000 m2) of land at Miswell Lane.[1] The club joined the West Herts Saturday League in the early 1960s, and despite only fielding players under-21, they won the Division One title three times in five years.[1]
Following a spell without success, the age limit was scrapped in 1971 and the club was renamedTring Athletic. In the mid-1970s the ground was sold to the local council and the club were relegated to Division Three. However, by the mid-1980s they were back in the Premier Division.[1]
In 1988 the club joined Division One of theSouth Midlands League.[2] They returned to Miswell Lane in 1992. After missing out on the Senior Division title in 1997–98 on goal difference,[1] they won the league in 1999–00.[2] In the same season they also won the Herts Charity Shield, the Herts Senior Centenary Trophy and the Cherry Red Books Trophy.
Due to an inability to install floodlights at Miswell Lane, in 2003 the club absorbedIsthmian League neighbours Tring Town F.C. with an agreement to move to their Pendley ground, which already had floodlights. In 2003–04 they finished fourth in Division One and were promoted to the Premier Division.
