A substantial reduction in the playing budget led to the departure of most of the established squad members during the 2008 close season. Manager Nigel Deeley and assistant Andy Nelson were fired on November 2, after an unprecedented sequence of nine consecutive defeats. They were replaced by former manager Gary Finley, assisted by Lee Coathup. After a brief change in fortunes, when Witton moved out of the relegation zone, the Albion finished third bottom, and were relegated to the Northern Premier League First Division South.
Honours
In 1990 Albion featured as BBC TV’s "Match of the Day". The crowd of 3,784 (plus millions on TV) saw the club give an honourable performance against Bolton Wanderers, although Wanderers ultimately won 2-1.
Witton Albion were regular semi-finalists in the FA Trophy (1990/91, 91/92, 92/93). In 1992 they made it to the old Wembley Stadium where they lost to Colchester United.
