The club is affiliated to the Berks & Bucks Football Association.〔(OFFICIAL LEAGUE HANDBOOK 2011–12 ) Hampshire Premier League〕 The team's motto, ''Facta Non Verba'', comes from a Latin phrase meaning "deeds, not words". The club has played at AWE Aldermaston (on the Hampshire-Berkshire border) since its establishment in 1952. As of the 2014–15 season they play in the Thames Valley Premier League, having transferred from the Hampshire Premier League Premier Division at the end of the 2013–14 season. In 2010, the club lost 40 consecutive games, which led to news reports proclaiming them the "worst English football team in history". The news was carried in publications including The Independent, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, the Zimbabwe Independent, and UEFA. == History == A.F.C. Aldermaston was founded in 1952 by Charles Green BEM, Ted Hall, Gordon Carter, and Don Sharp. The team – then known as AWRE Football Club – were nicknamed "The Atom Men" after the newly founded Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. As the AWRE complex was still under construction when the team was established, the players used empty contractors' huts as changing rooms – carrying the tin bath into whichever building was designated for that day's football.〔 The players were also responsible for the pitch, and would mow and mark out the pitch before the match started.〔 The club received support from William Penney during his work at AWRE on the Operation Hurricane project.〔 In the late 1960s/early 1970s, the club was asked to changee its name to "AFC Aldermaston" – The ‘AFC’ is said to stand for AWRE Football Club, their previous name, now coupled with the addition of the town where they are based.〔 In the 1970s, Aldermaston moved from the Reading & District League to the Hellenic Football League Division One – spending seven seasons in that league. From 1986 until 1991, the club played in local football leagues, including the North Hampshire League. For the 1991–92 season, Aldermaston joined the Hampshire League Third Division, finishing fifth in their first season.〔 The team spent one season in the second division, before returning to the third division for the rest of the 1990s.〔 Upon reorganisation of the Hampshire League for the 1999–00 season, Aldermaston were placed in the premier division – effectively being promoted two divisions.〔 When the Hampshire and Wessex Leagues merged in 2004, Aldermaston became members of the Wessex League which they remained part of until 2010. The club competed the 2010/11 season in the Hampshire Premier League,〔 having finished the 2009/10 season in 21st (bottom) place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://full-time.thefa.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=8579869&psSelectedDivision=5200641&psSelectedCompetition=0&psSelectedLeague=274386 )〕 The 2013–14 season was the clubs last in the Hampshire premier league as they joined the Thames Valley Premier Football League for the 2014–15 season.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A.F.C.
