History
Bartley Green F.C. was founded in the 1950s as a Saturday football team; however, since the 1970s most of the club’s football had been played in Sunday League and cup competitions. In the 2005–06 season, they joined the Midland Combination Division Two and were the league champions. Since the 2005–06 season the club has entered a parallel Saturday league side in addition to its usual team. After two seasons in the Midland Combination League, winning Division Two in 2005–06, and then taking the Division One title 2006–07 in successive seasons, the club were promoted into the Midland Combination Premier League.
Floodlights were erected in 2008–09, which led to the club passing the Midland Combination standards required regarding their ground and facilities.
The club transferred to the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division after the 2011–12 season. The club resigned from the league midway through the 2013-14 season.
