Carlton Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, England. Founded in 1904 as Sneinton Football Club, it was described in 1909 as "the leading amateur football club in Nottingham". Its reputation declined thereafter, with the team participating in obscure county divisions until the 1995–96 season saw the club join the nationwide league system. Carlton competes in the Northern Premier League's Division One East in the eighth tier of the English football pyramid. Its home base since the early 1990s has been the Bill Stokeld Stadium (entrance pictured). It won promotion in 2006–07 from the Premier Division of the Northern Counties East Football League. Tournament records include reaching the third round of the FA Amateur Cup four times; the third qualifying round of the FA Cup twice; the first round of the FA Trophy in 2021–22; and the third round of the FA Vase in 2005–06. The club is nicknamed "the Millers" and its main colours are yellow and blue.

___________________________ Wikiquote quote of the day:
Solidarity is a universal value which is becoming indispensable for progress and for the survival of humankind.But a modern state has to be worthy of solidarity, in other words, it should pursue, in both domestic and international affairs, policies that bring together the interests of its people and those of the world community. This task, however obvious, is not a simple one. Life is much richer and more complex than even the most perfect plans to make it better. It ultimately takes vengeance for attempts to impose abstract schemes, even with the best of intentions. --Mikhail Gorbachev https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev
