Dudley Town F.C.

After World War I the club was dormant for a number of years, but in 1928 it was re-formed and entered the Cradley Heath and District League, before moving on to the Worcestershire Combination.

In 1932 the club moved into the Sports Ground, which had been built as part of a project to provide work for a large number of unemployed men in the borough in the inter-war years.

The club enjoyed a run to the first round of the FA Cup in the 1976–77 season, where they were drawn against York City and held them to a draw at The Sports Ground in front of a reported 5,000 fans, before losing 4–1 in a replay.

In the 1981–82 season, the Robins were promoted to the Southern Football League Midland Division for the first time in the club's history.

Reportedly Wolverhampton Wanderers even turned down a prestigious close season tour to allow Wright to perform the ceremony.

The club also refurbished the 1,800-seat stadium and installed a VIP section, press box, and state of the art public address system.

In 1988 the club moved to a new permanent home at the Round Oak Stadium in Brierley Hill, where they celebrated a successful centenary year, however by 1996 the costs of the ground were spiralling.

The club officially moved out in 1996, to a ground share arrangement at the home of Halesowen Town, with plans to sell Round Oak.

However, the proposed sale dragged on, and in 1997, facing increasing financial difficulties, the club was forced to resign its place in the Southern League and close down.

After a four-year exile, Town returned to the borough in 2003, having signed a deal to play for the next five years at The War Memorial Athletic Ground in Amblecote, but in 2007 the club moved once again to the Dell Sports Centre in Brierley Hill.
