Ivybridge Town F.C.
Ivybridge Town Football Club is a football club based in Ivybridge, Devon, England. Established in 1925, the club was a founder member of the Devon County League in 1992.
For the first decade of their membership of the County League, they were regular strugglers, finishing in the bottom half of the table for seven successive seasons. Since the turn of the millennium, they had become one of the stronger sides in the league, culminating in taking the title for the first time in the 2005–06 season.
They play at Erme Valley, a multi-sport venue just across the main A38 road to the south of the town with an average attendance of 50–100 for each game. Until 2010 it was one of the more basic venues in the League, and as such inhibited any ambitions to progress further up the National League System. This was also the reason they have yet to make their debut in national FA competitions

Famous quotes containing the word town:
“If I am to be a thoroughfare, I prefer that it be of the mountain brooks, the Parnassian streams, and not the town sewers. There is inspiration, that gossip which comes to the ear of the attentive mind from the courts of heaven. There is the profane and stale revelation of the barroom and the police court. The same ear is fitted to receive both communications. Only the character of the hearer determines to which it shall be open, and to which closed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
