History

Sutton United was formed in 1947 by three men, Frank White, Ken Smith and Bill Walker, who had met whilst on service for the Royal Air Force. The club initially competed in the Birmingham and District League, winning the Premier Division on seven occasions. [1] In 2012, Sutton United joined the Midland Combination Division Two, winning promotion to Division One in their first season in the league. In 2014, after the Midland Combination and the Midland Alliance merged, Sutton were placed into the Midland League. In 2017, the club dropped out of the Midland League, rejoining the Birmingham and District League, before making the step back up to the Midland League Division Three in 2019. [2] In 2023, the club was admitted into the Midland League Division One. [3]

Ground

Upon formation, Sutton United played at Cows Lane, Wylde Green, before the club moved to Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield and then to Rectory Park. In 1997, the club moved into Hollyfield Road, buying the site from Sutton Coldfield RFC. In 2016, Sutton United acquired their current facilities at Coleshill Road. [1]
