Cleethorpes Town F.C. is a football club located in the seaside town of Cleethorpes in England, playing at the Linden Club, a small stadium holding just over two thousand spectators. Founded in 1998 as the Lincolnshire Soccer School, it adopted its current name in 2008.
The club was founded in 1998 by Tommy Watson, who initially served as both manager and player, and has progressed through various local leagues over the years.

Matches typically take place on weekends and are easily accessible by car, with parking available near the stadium. It is best to arrive early to enjoy the pre-match gathering with other supporters and local food vendors.
The club unexpectedly reached the FA Vase final at Wembley in 2016-17, the biggest stage for non-professional football in England. Though the final was lost, this rare achievement remains an unforgettable moment for the entire community and all players involved.
