History

Formed in the close season of 1992/93 when Spondon Ladies and Nottingham Rangers merged to form Stanton Rangers. During the 1993/94 season Stanton Rangers won through to the Semi-Finals of the FA Cup, this game was scheduled to be played at the New Manor Ground in Ilkeston.

After the Semi-Final the board of Ilkeston Town (Men's Club) invited Stanton Rangers to move across town to become Ilkeston Town Ladies FC, which they gratefully did. 

Ilkeston Town Ladies were the feature of a documentary by Central TV. The programme entitled '24 Hours' followed the Clubs run through to a quarter final appearance against Arsenal.
