Olympic Athletic play in Division 3 of the South Lancashire Counties Football League.
We were formed in 1999 by a group of work friends who thought it would be good to play football regularly. We initially joined the Skelmersdale + District League playing under the name Lydney North. We played in Skem for 2 seasons.
Due to most of the squad being from Wigan and area, it was decided to move to a more local league. At the same time we moved to a new base at The Ben Jonson Hotel in Wigan and also changed name to the Ben Jonson Blues. Unfortunately after a change of management at the Ben we had to find a new base and begin a new chapter for the club.
We eventually settled down at the White Lion in Pemberton Wigan and changed name to the Olympic White Lion. After two and a half seasons at the Lion, due to a management change, we moved to the Fishergate for season 08 - 09. A change of managment at the Fishergate had seen us going to various places after game untill the end of November 2009.
At the start of season 09 -10 it was decided to stop changing the team name to suit the place we were based at. A permanent name was decided on and we are now Olympic Athletic FC. |
