The club is affiliated to the Hampshire Football Association, and is a FA Charter Standard Community Club.^[1] They are currently members of the Southern League Division One Central. They play at the Love Lane Stadium.

History

The club was founded in 1993 after the demise of Petersfield United (founded 1889).^[2] The previous club folded after being denied permission to switch from the Isthmian League to the Wessex League.^[3] The newly formed club took their place in the first Division (Now Premier Division) of the Wessex League, under the management of former England player Gary Stevens.^[2]

For the first four seasons the club the club stayed in the Wessex league before being relegated to division one of the Hampshire League.^[4] The club only lasted one season in division one and were relegated again to division two, where they stayed for a further season finishing as runners-up however when the league was re-organised they were effectively promoted twice, as they now found themselves in the newly formed Premier division.^[5]

The club stayed in the premier division of the Hampshire league until the start of the 2004–05 season, when the Wessex league expanded and the club joined the newly formed division two. ^[6] The club remained in this division, which was now called Division one, until the 2013–14 season when Petersfield Town became Wessex League Division One Champions.^[7] The 2014–15 then saw the club finish as Wessex League Premier Division champions, becoming the first club to win back to back championships in the Wessex League and thus earned promotion to the Southern Football League.^[8]^[9]

The club have play their home games at Love Lane Stadium, Petersfield, Hampshire GU31 4BP. Love lane has hosted Petersfield Town and previously Petersfield United since 1948.^[3] The stadium has a capacity of 3,000, of which 250 is seated (this was the limit set for a match with Aldershot Town in 1993), with one all-seating stand down one side of the field of play.
