The club is disbanding due to apathy. The chairman has resigned and no one else has come forward. Being forced out of Ford Meadow in 2011 didn't help – they have since played at Winslow, 6 miles away, and Bletchley, 12. They had 11 seasons in the Southern League, winning the Southern Division under Phil Lines in 1991 but being refused promotion because the ground wasn't good enough. Perhaps Buckingham Athletic will benefit from their demise.
Another UCL club to fold is Olney Town. Here, the whole committee has stepped down. The club had decent facilities but the ground is a public park and appears to have fallen foul of the inspectors.
This season, Olney and Buckingham finished 5th and 6th in Div 1, decent enough for clubs playing in the circumstances that they were. |

The club did withdraw its resignation. However, it has given up in one sense – it's rejecting the name and will become Milton Keynes Borough. That will make it at least the eighth club to use 'Milton Keynes' and the second to use 'Borough'. Others from the records (some clubs were renamed at some time): plain and unadorned MK plus Academy, City, County, two Towns, Wanderers, Wolverton and of course the franchise club from London SW17.
The club has presumably given up on returning to Buckingham. It's in its seventh season at Manor Fields, Bletchley, the former home of Bletchley Town/Milton Keynes City.
