matchday programme of
Saturday 24th February 2024 3.00pm Official
Bishop Sutton F.C.

Good afternoon everyone,

Welcome back to Lakeview for today’s Toolstation Western League Division One fixture with Longwell Green Sports. We offer a very warm welcome to all their supporters & officials along with the three match officials too, hoping they all have a safe journey home too.

On Tuesday evening, we nearly grabbed a point against our near neighbours Hengrove only for the visitors to grab a last minute winner. I know the lads were gutted to lose so late, so they’ll be keen to build on that this afternoon against a top ten side in Longwell Green.

Your support for the club, both on and off the field, is always very welcome so please come to as many games as possible as we look to finish the final part of the season in a better place.

Enjoy the game!

Bishop Sutton Club History

The club was re-formed in 1977 with just an U15 team playing in the Weston-superMare Sunday League and then progressing in successive seasons to the Bristol and Avon League U16s and the second and first divisions before being admitted into the Somerset Senior League for the 1981-82 season.

The next ten years were spent climbing through the four divisions before being voted into the Western League for season 1991-92. The First Division was won in 1997-98 and then followed seventeen successive seasons in the Premier Division, the highlight being winning the Premier title in 2012-13.

Unfortunately our ground grading did not permit progression to the Southern League and all the team management and players then left the club. Relegation from the Premier followed at the end of season 2014-15 and we have experienced mixed fortunes in the First Division since then.

For the season 2020-21 Jon Toy came in as manager but unfortunately we were only able to play 10 games before the season was curtailed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Having retained a lot of last season’s squad and added a couple of new players, we finished in mid table in season 2021/22 followed by seventh place last season. Jon left in the summer and was replaced by Catalin Andrei and Steve Taylor.

Chris Blammon took over in the autumn of 2023 as first team manager.
