Bedlington Terriers F.C. are a football club based in Bedlington, England. They were established in 1949 and joined the Northern Alliance in 1980 and joined the Northern League when it expanded to two divisions 3 years later. In the 1998-99 season, they reached the 2nd round of the FA Cup and also reached Wembley in the FA Vase final, losing 1-0 to a late goal from Tiverton Town. By 2006 they were experiencing a number of financial and organisational problemsclu.

Since experiencing these problems, the club has returned to being back to normal with a new committee and with the Chairman Dave Holmes taking over the running of the club.

A New Hope

With the start of the 2006-2007 season approaching quickly and existence confirmed, Mel Harmison set about bringing together a young squad to keep the team going. During the season, Mel took a coaching role at the club and Tom Wade was brought in to guide the team. They narrowly avoided relegation to ANL Division 2 after Newcastle Blue Star took promotion to the Unibond Division North at the end of the season after finishing in 20th place (2 of the 3 teams in relegation places were demoted). This was seen as a success given they had a very young group of players with very little or no experience at this level.

In the 2007-2008 season saw the club bring back the old managerial partnership of Tony Lowery and Keith Perry midway through. They during the season brought in their own blend of experience and youth and guided the club to a 15th place finish.

In preparation for the 2008-2009 season, the Terriers have brought back some familiar names to the club including Colin Morton but have also lost goalkeeper Karl Dryden, Craig McFarlane and Andy Carr to other clubs. They have however recently announced the signings in former Brandon United, Blyth Spartans and Newcastle Blue Star striker Scott Bell and his former Blyth team mate Dale Crawford.
