Cray Wanderers Football Club is an English semi-professional football club based in Chislehurst, London.[2][3] Based on later reports, the club has a claim to have been established some time in 1860 in the twin villages of St Mary Cray and St Paul's Cray, near Orpington.[4] Such a date would make it one of the oldest football clubs in the world.
As of the 2024–25 season, the club play their home matches at the Flamingo Park stadium on the A20 in Chislehurst, the first ground Cray Wanderers have owned in their 164 year history.[5]
Cray Wanderers were Kent League champions four times, and have reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup twice in their history. The club currently play in the Isthmian League Premier Division.
