Silsden A.F.C. are a football club that play in Silsden, West Yorkshire, England.

History[edit]

The club was formed in 1904. In 2004–05, they reached the second round of the FA Vase. They are currently members of the North West Counties League Premier Division.

They are one of only two teams ever to win the West Riding County FA Cup three years on the trot - 2001, 2002 and 2003 before joing the NWCFL the season after and gaining promotion to the Premier Division (along with Cammell Laird) at their first attempt.

Stadium[edit]

During their earlier years in the North West Counties League they played their home games at Cougar Park, home of the rugby league club Keighley Cougars. However, in early 2010 plans were put in place to upgrade their former ground in Silsden. With the help of the Football Foundation, Sports England and Asda Foundation, committee of the club, players and the generosity of sponsors and local businesses, their dream came true when they returned in time for the start of the 2010–11 season. Floodlights, a stand, new dugouts, coffee hut, pay-hut, walkway, perimeter fencing and barriers were all put in place to complement the newly erected £1.2m Sports Club which houses 6 changing rooms, two referees' rooms, a physiotherapy room and a function room.

For the start of the 2012-13 season saw the name of stadium change to Angel Telecom Stadium following a five-year sponsor package with the Bradford-based telecommunications company.
