Guiseley A.F.C are a local Leeds club based in the Wharfedale region of Guiseley. They are a Leeds affiliate club and therefore have strong ties with Leeds United, playing in a similar white shirts and sporting blue and yellow trim. They play their home games at the 3,000 capacity Nethermoor Park and have worked their way up the league's to currently occupy a Play-Off spot in the Vanarama Conference North.

Guiseley were formed in 1909 and have always competed in the lower leagues of Yorkshire semi-professional football before steadily working their way up towards the second tier of English semi-professional football after winning promotion as champions during their 2009 centenary season.

The club have continued to establish themselves in the Conference North, almost achieving back-to-back promotions by reaching the Play-Off semi-finals in 2010. They were to do the same again in 2011, narrowly missing out on the league title by 5 points, but succumbing to Nuneaton Town in the semi-finals of the Play-Offs. Guiseley were defeated by F.C. Halifax at the same stage the following season. The club has continued to challenge in the Conference North and will once again attempt to break their Play-Off duck (you can tell their affiliated with United) this season. 

In 2010 Guiseley reached the 1st round proper of the F.A. Cup for only the second time before being humbled 5-0 by Crawley. They were to reach the same stage in 2013, losing out to Conference Premier side Barrow. 

So get down to Nethermoor if for some inexplicable reason you can't make it to a Leeds game! Give the Lions some support as they climb up the football league!
