List of Margate F.C. seasons

The club was founded in 1896 and played only friendlies and cup matches until 1909, when the team joined the Thanet and District League.

[1] After four seasons at this level, however, the club was forced to resign on financial grounds and return to the Kent League.

[2][3] During their stay at this level they were forced to groundshare with other clubs due to drawn-out and problematic redevelopment work at their Hartsdown Park ground.

[1] This led to the club being expelled from the Conference National in 2004 for failing to meet the division's stadium requirements.

[4] D. ^ Pearce also scored twice in a match against Broadstairs Town which was abandoned due to fog and ordered to be replayed.

[6] E. ^ Fordham also scored one goal in a match against Ramsgate Town which was declared void and ordered to be replayed for unknown reasons.

[1] G. ^ Sparrow also scored three goals in a match against Royal Army Service Corps which was later declared void when that team resigned from the league.

[22] H. ^ Copp also scored one goal in a match against 1st Middlesex Regiment which was later declared void when that team resigned from the league.

[27] K. ^ Stennings also scored one goal in a match against Catford Southend which was later declared void when that team resigned from the league.

[1] N. ^ Margate's FA Cup fourth round qualifying match against Folkestone was abandoned due to fog, but as it was subsequently discovered that Margate had fielded an ineligible player, the tie was awarded to Folkestone rather than a replay ordered.

^ Margate won the overall Southern League championship by defeating Western Section winners Plymouth Argyle Reserves 3–1 in a play-off match, which was held over until September 1936.

^ Margate and Folkestone were declared joint winners of the Kent Senior Shield after a 1–1 draw in the final.

^ Having finished bottom of the table, Margate did not qualify for a place in the Southern League Premier Division, which was reformed for the 1982–83 season.
