Bilston Town F.C.

[2] Bilston remained in the Combination until the end of the 1920–21 season,[3] when they joined the Birmingham & District League.

[6] After disbanding in 1939 due to World War II, the club was reformed in 1946 under the name Bilston.

[8] In 1968–69 the club reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, losing 3–1 at home to Halifax Town.

Early in the club's history they played at Prouds Lane,[11] using the nearby Spread Eagle pub as their changing room.

They moved to Queen Street after in 1919, with the opening game played against Tamworth Castle in the FA Cup, with Bilston winning 1–0.

[12] Floodlights were installed in 1953 and were first used for a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 10 March 1953, with a record attendance of 8,000 seeing Wolves win 4–2.

[12] After over 120 attacks by vandals in five years,[14] the ground was closed in 2007 after it was deemed to be unsafe, with the club having to play on an unenclosed pitch at Bantock park.

[15] In 2008 plans were announced to refurbish and reopen the ground,[16] Work was complete ready for the 2008–09 season, with the club signing a 99-year lease.
