From 1932 to late 1960’s the team gained a respectable and fearful reputation in the County League and the Northern Premier League.

With a 10 years Division 3 prompt, The Lactics finally arrived to Premiership Football in 2005.

The team faced possible relegation for much of the 2007-08 season, yet Steve Bruce managed to take them to 14th place after changing Chris Hutchings in late November as head coach.

With the signing of the coach Roberto Martínez for the 2009/10 season, the team will seek a new winning focusing.
