Since forming out of the ashes of predecessors Rushden & Diamonds, the supporter-owned club have enjoyed three promotions to rise from the United Counties League to the Southern League Premier Central.
The playing surface at the club’s ground, Melton Sports Village, has long been a source of frustration among players and supporters alike, with no fewer than 11 games being postponed during the 2019-20 season due to the pitch being deemed as unsatisfactory.
The Combined Counties has retained its Step 6 Division One and taken on a second league at Step 5 to create a Premier Division North and Premier Division South.
Mark Ducket will be guiding Bedford Town next season whenever it starts after the coronavirus crisis, the BetVictor Southern League club have confirmed.
