History

Prior to World War II there were two football clubs in the town; March GER United had been established in 1911 and moved to the GER Sports Ground in 1923, and March Town, established in 1885, who played at Estover Road, Gaul Drove, Burrowmoor Road and the Avenue Ground (1923-1939). After the war March GER United did not reform, and March Town took over their ground, adding United to their title in 1950.[1] The GER ground also staged greyhound racing, cycling and cricket until 1960, resulting in the wooden stand being some distance from the pitch.

The club joined the Eastern Counties League in 1954, finishing third in their first season and runners-up in their second, a season in which they also reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, losing 4-0 at Brentford. They reached the first round again in 1978-79, but lost 2-0 at Swindon Town.

In 1987-88 they won the league for the first, and to date only time, playing the title decider in front of 2,000 fans at local rivals Chatteris Town. In 1996-97 they finished bottom of the Premier Division, and were relegated to Division One, where they have remained since.
