Football in Fleetwood has a long and arguably chequered past but the last 20 years or so has seen the team rise the ranks, promotion after promotion, an incredible new stadium and a fan base to rival any other.

These pictures rewind the clock to earlier days, back in the 1960s and 70s and right up to the more recent past. They are an eclectic mix of photos from our archives.
