Who Are... Histon FC?
From a small village to the north of Cambridge, Histon perhaps rival Forest Green Rovers for the smallest locale represented in the Blue Square Premier. Their rise through the ranks has been a fast one, having only played Eastern Counties League football as recent as 2000. Their ambitions are not limited either, as their demolition of rivals Cambridge United in the FA Trophy demonstrated a couple of years ago.

The club's performance during the 2007/8 campaign was nothing short of impressive. They performed the best of the promoted clubs by a long way, threatening to gatecrash the playoff battle on a number of occasions - a mere nine points by the final day is not to be sniffed at for a team who had come a long way in such a short space of time. And the 2008/9 season developed further, with Histon astounding many to finish 3rd behind fierce rivals Cambridge United and earning an ultimately unsuccessful playoff venture against Torquay United.

And so onto the 2009/10 season, where Histon have now laid a benchmark for where they want to be. A strong managerial team will look to produce more of the same but replicating that form could prove tough. The league grows ever stronger, and the gap grows between the haves and have-nots. So for Histon, establishing another assault on the summit is probably the height of progress by the end of the 2009/10 run, but maybe teams will have started to find them out a little bit, and mid-table could be as far as it goes.
