In 2005–06 Clacton failed to win a league match all season, finishing bottom of the Premier Division with only a single point and a goal difference of –159. Despite the poor performance, they were not relegated as two clubs (AFC Sudbury and Bury Town) were promoted from the league and one club from Division One (Fulbourn Institute) were refused promotion. Although they improved the following season, finishing twenty-first with 38 points, they were relegated to Division One. On 15 June 2007 the club was reconstituted as F.C. Clacton, a community interest company. They returned to the Premier Division after finishing as Division One runners-up in 2009–10. Despite finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 2012–13, the club were not relegated as two clubs left the Premier Division and only two clubs were promoted from Division One.
