Premier Division, 10thMerrow Football Club is a football club based in Merrow, near Guildford, Surrey, England. Established in 1922, the club was among the founding members of the Surrey Premier League in 1982.
For the 2005–6 season, the average home attendance was only 8, which meant the club ranked 737th out of the 737 clubs in the top eleven tiers of the football league pyramid in England.[1]
Merrow F.C. have been league champions ten times, the most recent in the 2002–3 season.[2] For the 2003–4 season, Merrow finished a respectable 6th out of the 18 clubs in the league.[3] Thereafter, the club's performance deteriorated over successive seasons, finishing 13th (of 18 teams),[4] 14th (of 17),[5] 20th (of 21)[6] and 20th (of 20).[7] By the 2007–08 season, Merrow FC was struggling to compete at this level, losing all 18 away fixtures, conceding 170 goals (although they did score 24), and finishing at the bottom of the table.[7] At the end of the 2007–08 season the club resigned from the Combined Counties League and joined the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) (two levels down the league pyramid).
