Godalming will be looking to extend their good run which has seen them move to Third place in the League chasing Burnham and Rugby for the automatic promotion place.

Boss Craig Faulconbridge gives id his views ahead of the game "We have had an up and down Week which has seen us win and lose again, All I asked for is consistency And with a great win against Woodford and another one against Beaconsfield I thought we had turned a corner, Unfortunately when we went to Rugby we were found out again, But to be fair for the first 60 minutes we more than much our opponents, and could of been one up at the break, Sloppy defending in the second half cost us and we were heavily beaten in the last 30, I was to blame for at least one of the goals, But with only one substitute we were playing with Ben needing to come off, Brian Hall took a knock And I hadn't played for at least 2 to 3 weeks, But we are where we are. This Saturday sees the return visit to Godalming Where we were heavily beaten at home, We need to learn from mistakes we made that night and hopefully put them right tomorrow. It will be a tough test but I'm sure if we apply ourselves like we did in the first 60 minutes against rugby we should be okay, And with three games coming up next week on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday we Need to get off on the right foot. For myself Walley and Frazer it will be a chance to have a look at the team under pressure again And see where we need to strengthen throughout the summer for next season. Enjoy the game and we look forward to seeing lots of our fans down there tomorrow."

History
The club has its origins as Godalming United FC, formed in 1950 by ex-pupils of Godalming Grammar School. Between 1950-71 the club played at the Recreation Ground. However, in 1970 Surrey Senior League side Farncombe collapsed, leaving their ground in Meadrow vacant. Godalming took over the debts and tenancy, changing their name to Godalming & Farncombe FC, and the ground to Wey Court in the process.

The original pitch was where the nearby Wey Court Sheltered Residence now stands and a considerable amount of work was undertaken on the new playing area, which was built on the site of an old waste tip. The club was helped by Waverley Council when drainage problems and subsidence meant they had to find a temporary home at Broadwater Park.

The club was accepted into the Combined Counties League for the start of the 1978 season, and a year later the name was changed again, to Godalming Town FC.

In 1985 another local club, Addlestone & Weybridge, was disbanded and, before their ground at Liberty Lane was demolished, Godalming purchased the stand and perimeter fence for £225 and £50 respectively. The stand was re-erected at Weycourt, with seating and a fascia added.

The next development came in 1992 when the Guildford Football Appeal (formed in an attempt to return the town’s name to senior football, following the collapse of Guildford City in 1977) donated a sum of money towards floodlights, and in return the name of the club was changed yet again, to Godalming & Guildford FC.

Further recycling followed in 1995, when a new turnstile building was erected incorporating a turnstile from Millwall’s old ground; and in 1996 the Clubhouse was refurbished.

During the 2005 close season, the club changed its name for a fifth time, albeit back to one of its previous incarnations, that of Godalming Town. A fantastic 2005/06 season saw the side take the Combined Counties League Championship and League Cup by storm. Godalming Town were then accepted by Isthmian league officials following extensive ground improvements.

At the end of a tough season Godalming found themselves at the bottom of a very competitive division. However, events elsewhere meant that Godalming were reprieved from relegation and were transferred into the Southern League’s South West Division for the 2007/08 season. Chuck Martini replaced Roger Steer as Manager in October 2007. Town were moved back the Ryman League for the 2008/9 season and eventually finished in another record high position, 9th. Godalming also progressed further than ever before in the FA Cup by reaching the 3rd Qualifying Round before losing 2-1 at Conference South side Havant & Waterlooville.

The 2009/10 season was arguably the best in the history of the club. Godalming finished in a record high position of 4th in the Ryman South but were eventually beaten 2-1 in the Playoff Final at Folkestone Invicta. The club progressed further than ever before in the FA Trophy and also beat Sutton Utd 2-1 in the Surrey Senior Cup Final. The season also saw local boy Shaun Elliott become the club’s record appearance holder after reaching 360 games in a Godalming shirt. Chuck Martini was replaced by joint managers Neil Baker and Jon Underwood in October 2010 and the club finished an unpredictable season in midtable.

The 2011/12 season saw a lot of new faces join, but the team quickly gelled, reaching the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, beating Wimborne, Moneyfields, Worcester City and Bodmin before bowing out to Maidenhead United in front of 700 at Wey Court. The Gs finished 5th in the league, and travelled to Bognor Regis Town in the playoff semi-final. An incredible game finished 4-4 after extra time, but Godalming lost 5-3 on penalties. 2012/13 will see Godalming compete in the Evo-Stik Southern Central Division, and hopes are high for a successful season.
