'''[[Margate F.C.]]''' is an [[Football in England|English football]] team based in the [[seaside resort]] of [[Margate]], [[Kent]]. They currently play in the [[Isthmian League]] Premier Division. The club was founded in 1896 and joined the [[Southern Football League]] in 1933. After a spell in the [[Kent Football League (1894–1959)|Kent League]] after World War&nbsp;II, the team returned to the Southern League in 1959 and remained there until 2001 when they gained promotion to the [[National League (English football)|Football Conference]], the highest level of English [[non-League football]]. Their stay at this level saw the team forced to groundshare with other clubs due to drawn-out and problematic redevelopment work at their [[Hartsdown Park]] stadium, and they were expelled from the [[National League (division)|Conference National]] and subsequently relegated to the Isthmian League. The team, known for a number of years during the 1980s as Thanet United, and nicknamed "The Gate", have twice reached the third round proper of the [[FA Cup]]. On the second occasion, they played [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]], the reigning [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] holders. {{TFAFULL|Margate F.C.}}
