Carlton Town Football Club is a semi-professional[1] football club based in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, England. Founded in 1904 as Sneinton Football Club, its early years were marked by considerable local success, leading to the club being described by the Manchester Courier in 1909 as "the leading amateur football club in Nottingham". Its reputation declined for several decades afterwards, with the team participating in obscure county divisions until the 1995–96 season saw the club join the nationwide league system. Carlton currently competes in the Northern Premier League Division One East at the eighth tier of the English football pyramid.
Carlton has played its home games at the Bill Stokeld Stadium since the early 1990s. It won promotion in 2006–07 from the Premier Division of the Northern Counties East Football League, competing in the NCEL's Division One and two Central Midlands League divisions before that. Tournament records include reaching the third round of the FA Amateur Cup in 1907–08, 1910–11, 1919–20 and 1930–31; the third qualifying round of the FA Cup in 2012–13 and 2013–14; the first round of the FA Trophy in 2021–22; and the third round of the FA Vase in 2005–06. The club is nicknamed "The Millers" and its colours are primarily yellow and blue.
