spent the greater part of their existence in the Notts Alliance, winning that league 10 times, including a record six in succession between 1977 and 1983.

After a period of less success, the club won two more Alliance titles in the mid-1990s, and then began to build for a rise up the football pyramid.

Floodlights had been erected at their Kirklington Road ground in 1991, with covered accommodation following, which has since been extended, and seating installed.

On 18 April 2009, they earned promotion to the Premier Division as runners-up, after a 3–0 away win against Worsbrough Bridge Athletic.

In May 2010, Bridlington Town formally notified the FA that they would not accept promotion to the Northern Premier League.
