Bedfont Football Club is a defunct football club which was based in East Bedfont, Greater London, England.
History
The club was established in 1900 and joined the Combined Counties League in 1987, where they played until they folded in 2010. They have reached the Third Round of the FA Vase twice in their history. During the 2010 strike by cabin crew from the Unite trade union working for British Airways, the club's home ground was used as a headquarters for the strikers. On 27 May 2010, the club informed the Combined Counties League that they would be unable to continue the football club due to financial considerations. Feltham FC and Bedfont Town used The Orchard ground for their home games in 2010/11 and 2011/12.
In May 2012, Bedfont Town were on the brink of folding, and they eventually left the Orchard.
It was decided that Feltham FC would now merge with landlords Bedfont Football and Social Club to form a new club – Bedfont & Feltham F.C. As Feltham had already joined the FA Vase for 2012/13 only the Sunday teams could fully adopt the new name. The club will be fully operational as Bedfont and Feltham Football and Social Club.
