Airbus UK F.C.
Description
Airbus UK F.C. is a football team based in Broughton, Flintshire, Wales, a few miles from the city of Chester. They had their origins as the works team of the Airbus UK aerospace factory where the wings of the Airbus airliner are produced, and are consequently nicknamed The Wingmakers or The Planemakers. The club was promoted to the League of Wales for the first time in 2004, and normally play at The Airfield, Broughton (capacity 2,100, of whom 250 are seated); however as their pitch could not be brought up to League of Wales standards in time following their promotion, for their first season in the League they shared Conwy United F.C.'s ground. The Airfield features unusual retracting floodlights as it is adjacent to an operational runway.
