Willenhall Town F.C. are based in
Willenhall, Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, West Midlands &
currently play in Northern Premier League Division One
South. |
 |
| Willenhall Town was formed in 1953 by amalgamation of
two local sides, Aston Road Villa and R.A.F. Association.
The club played in the Wolverhampton League from their
formation until 1968, when they joined Staffordshire County
League. In 1975 they joined West Midlands (Regional) League.
They quickly won promotion to the Premier Division and then
claimed the Premier Division title in 1979, on goal
difference over Lye Town. In 1981 they reached the FA
Vase final at Wembley Stadium but lost to Whickham, a year
later gaining promotion to Southern Football League Midland
Division. In the 1983-84 season the Reds won the title,
scoring 100 goals in the process, and gained promotion to
the Southern League Premier Division. Although they finished
4th in the Premier Division in their very first season,
their performances declined until relegated back to the West
Midlands (Regional) League in 1991. In 1994, the club became
founder members of the new Midland Football Alliance where
they were consistent mid-table finishers until the 2003-04
season when an impressive late season run saw them finish
second and gain promotion to Northern Premier League
Division One. |
