<h4>Watford History</h4>



<p>Watford dates all the way back to 1881, as “Watford Rovers”. Assorted permutations of the club competed under different names for the next two decades. Eventually, a merger between West Herts and Watford St. Mary’s in 1989 resulted in the Watford FC we know today.</p>



<p>In 1920, Watford joined the new Football League Third Division. They’d remarkably play every season but two, 1958-1960, in the third tier until 1969 when they made it to the Second Division for the first time. </p>



<p>The 1970s and 80s were a wild time for the club. They dropped twice, down to the fourth tier in 1976, before shooting up to the First Division by 1982. In that first top-flight season, they finished in second place, their best league finish ever. In 1984 they were runners-up in the FA Cup, a feat also matched in 2019.</p>



<p>After relegation in 1988, there were only brief cameos in the Premier League in 1999/00 and 2006/07. The 2010s were kinder, seeing Watford in the EPL from 2015-2020, and again in 2021/22. </p>



<p>Despite their badge featuring a hart (that’s a male red fallow deer) since 1978, the nickname of the club is the Hornets. This was first adopted in 1960 when the club changed to black shorts and gold shirts. The name has stuck ever since. The hart on the badge references the location of the town in Hertfordshire, whose coat of arms features the animal.</p>



<p>Watford is located on the far outskirts of the London area, with the club’s Vicarage Road ground a little over 8 miles as the crow flies from Wembley Stadium.</p>
