Description

Hampton & Richmond Borough F.C. are a football club based in the suburb of Hampton, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, London, England. They were founded in 1921 and formerly known as Hampton F.C. until 1999 when they changed their name in an attempt to draw a wider support base from around the Borough. In August 2007, the club started their first campaign as members of the Conference South.

The club has a support base of around 300 to 350 people, average attendances have been rising for the past two seasons and continue to do so.[http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/attendances.jsp?team=232]. The club remains the only senior level football club to represent the borough, and is consequently seen as the borough's football club, which includes towns such as Twickenham, Richmond and Teddington. However, the club arguably struggles in attendance due to the popularity of rugby union in the borough, as well the close proximity of other London football clubs.
