Fairfield Villa F.C.

The club was founded in 1902 and first played in the original Bromsgrove Football League.[1] They had a successful first season, winning the league title at their first attempt.[1] In the early 1950s, the club disbanded but was reformed by Gill Webb and Paddy Eades.[1] 1959 saw the club begin playing at their current home ground, the Fairfield Recreation Ground, and rejoin the Bromsgrove Football League.[1] Between 1959 and the 1970s, Villa had a fair amount of success in league and cup, before joining the Kidderminster & District League.[1] The club went on to win the Premier Division twice in 1982–83 and 1983–84.[1] The club joined the Midland Combination Division Two in 1985,[1][2] and won promotion to Division One in 1995.[2] However, the Recreation Ground's facilities did not meet the requirements for the division, leading to a dispute between the club and the ground's landlords. Villa were forced to groundshare with Bromsgrove Rovers and later Northfield Town.[1] In 1996, they were relegated back to Division One.[2] They won Division Two again in the 1998–99 season.[2] In 2002, the club returned to the Fairfield Recreation Ground after reaching an agreement with the landlords who allowed a small development at the ground, making it meet requirements for the division.[1] In 2012, after several seasons of cup successes, the Recreation Ground saw another development when, with the help of an FA grant, new changing rooms and a kitchen were installed.[1] The club finished Division One runners-up on goal difference in the 2013–14 season,[2] before the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League, with Fairfield being placed in Division Two.[2]
