Current season

Sutton Coldfield Town Football Club is an English association football club based in Sutton Coldfield. The club participates in the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands.

Despite being the largest team in a town with a population of over 105,000 people (more than that of the home towns of many full-time professional teams), their profile suffers due to their geographical proximity to Aston Villa, who draw considerable support from the town.

History

The club was founded in 1879 and played its first match against the 2nd XI of Birmingham F.C. (no connection to the modern Birmingham City) on 1 February of that year. In their early years, they played in Sutton Park and competed in the Central Birmingham League, Aston and District League, Small Heath League, and Suburban League. In the 1930s, now playing at Coles Lane, they competed in the Birmingham Alliance and Birmingham Combination but met with little success.

After

Southern League. At the first attempt, they were promoted to the Premier Division but were relegated straight back to the second tier where they remained until the end of the 2009–10 season, before being transferred to the Northern Premier League
Division One South.

On 10 May 2011, Sutton Coldfield took part in their first ever

2017-18 season, Sutton were relegated with three games remaining after a 2–1 away defeat to Barwell
.
