The Merger of Alsager Institute and Alsager United formed Alsager AFC in 1965. The merger came about due to the lack of pitches in the village. They acquired the Wood Park facility in 1967, that was then seeded ready for the following season, where it was first played on in 1968/69.

Alsager AFC was playing in the Crewe league at this stage. In the early ‘70’s the club decided they would like to try for the Mid Cheshire League which they were successful in doing by bringing the ground up to a higher standard. They remained in this league until 1985/86 when they were runners-up.

Alsager AFC then closed for a season due to lack of funds and support. They then re-opened with a youth side, remaining in the Crewe Premier League for two seasons. In 1991/92 they managed to regain entry into the Mid Cheshire League Division Two, where they remained until 1998/99 when the committee decided to try for the Springbank Vending League, as most of the team were potteries based. Unfortunately Alsager were pipped to the m at this stage.

Steve Booth who built a strong squad, which was able to challenge for the title in the first season, managed the team at this stage. Unfortunately Alsager were pipped to the post, when Norton FC., needing to win their last five games, did so and took the title with Alsager AFC finishing runners-up.

Before all this had unfolded in the league, the team were doing well enough by the Christmas of 1998 that the committee decided that they would apply for the North West Counties League. After a lot of hard work by the committee, Alsager AFC successfully passed the criteria necessary to gain promotion.

Alsager's first season in the football pyramid system got off to a great start as early form took them to the top of the league well into September. Good cup runs also followed with Alsager reaching the semi-final of the NWCFL Second Division Trophy, where they were beaten over two legs by Tetley Walker and they also reached the quarter-finals of the NWCFL Cup, where they forced first division title contenders Mossley to a replay.

Bad form after Christmas 1999 and the decision by manager Steve Booth to leave the club saw a new management team step into the fold. Greg Clowes and Dorrian Garner – who was already a player at the club – joined from Norton FC, last years conquerors. They were in charge for the last 10 creditable 12 th spot in their first season.

Greg and Dorrian’s first full season in charge got off to a shaky start, as results didn’t go their way. After a few changes to the playing staff things started to turn around and a good run of results from the start of December until the end of the season saw Alsager finish 7 th. For the final six months of the season Alsager were always in the top three form teams and along with Warrington Town kept the most clean sheets.
