History

Chairman Peter Stansbury with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in August 2023

In the 2015–16 season the men's section of West Bridgford FC was promoted after finishing 3rd in the Nottinghamshire Senior League.[1] and under the guidance of management duo and former players Stuart Robinson and Chris Marks, they achieved their fifth promotion, subsequently joining and winning the step 6 - East Midlands Counties Football League, only six years after the men's section was officially formed.

They declined promotion due to a lack of facilities,[2] to the Midland Football League and remained in the East Midlands Counties Football League. They remained members of the league until it was disbanded at the end of the 2020–21 season, at which point they were transferred to Division One of the United Counties League.

Ground

The club play at Regatta Way Sports Ground,[3] which has a capacity of 1,000.[4]
