Our visitors - Tytherington Rocks Tytherington Football Club was formed in 1896 by the local Headmaster, Mr Emanuel, and others including the Rev John Bingley. Rev. Bingley stipulated that, to gain his support, the club should play in amber and black – his old college colours – Brasenose in Oxford. In the early days the club played in the Wotton-Under -Edge League and travelled to away matches by waggonette, a four-wheeled horse drawn cart, with seats along both sides. The club played at many different grounds in the early days, one of which was Mill-Leaze Fields. This is the fields behind the village shop in Tytherington. They eventually found a permanent home at the Hardwicke Playing Fields. The club used the Swan Inn as their changing rooms until a new pavilion was erected by the Parish Council, on the playing fields in 1938.

In the 1920s Tytherington FC was suspended by the Gloucestershire Football Association for non payment of a fine. The fine followed a referee being jostled into an adjoining brook after what the home side felt were some dubious decisions! No pay – no play, so Tytherington disbanded until 1932 when Tytherington Rocks FC was formed, joining the Bristol Suburban League. War disrupted the local leagues. Rocks rejoined the Bristol Suburban League Division 1 in 1947. The same year a youth team called the Pebbles was formed and played in the Gloucestershire Junior Boys’ Association Football League. In 1956-57 Rocks were losing finalists in the GFA Minor Cup and the team spent most of the 1960s between Division 3 and Division 5. The facilities were upgraded in 1979-80, with new showers and toilet block together with electricity! Candlelight and Rocks’ famous tin bath were consigned to history! Three enthusiasts were largely responsible for these improvements – Ron Holpin, on the practical side, Tony Hennessy on the financial side and Dave Kemp for plumbing. The Reserves reformed in Division 7 whilst under the manager Jack Parr and the first team moved through the divisions reaching Division 1 for the 1987-88 season. Two managers, Ron Holpin and Mike Lee led the Reserves to promotion and a Cup Final in three consecutive sessions between 1985 and 1987. In 1987-88 saw the formation of the third team joining Division 7 and at the same time Streamside Juniors were adopted as Tytherington Rocks Juniors. A floodlit training pitch, the result of hard voluntary work, was opened by Ted Pitt, Ted Oakey and Ambrose Johnson. With Brian Landsown as manager from 1988-89 Rocks entered Premier Division 2 and by 1993 arrived in Premier Division 1. Ground improvements continued with team dugouts and perimeter fencing. As Champions of the Bristol and Suburban Premier League in 1996-97, it was shock and disappointment when their Gloucestershire County League application was rejected. Undaunted, attention then turned to the clubhouse, a new bar, separate changing facilities, referee accommodation for both sexes and a spectator stand, all raised the profile of the club and, in 1997-98, this time the County League application was successful with Dave Marshall at the managerial helm.

Under manager Shaun Honour, the team survived a difficult first season but, during the next four years, enjoyed top half finishes and were GFA Challenge Trophy Finalists, League Cup Finalists and, in 2003-04, were County League Runners-up. Managers, Mickey Jefferies and Andy Mathias, had prepared Tytherington for Hellenic League football and Hellenic League status Division 1 [West] arrived in 2004-05.

Season 2011-12 was to prove to be the first of three outstanding years for Tytherington Rocks. The 1 st team finished 18 points clear to win the Hellenic League Division 1 [West] title, followed by a 3rd place and then champions again in 2013-14, this time by 5 points. However, once again, in 2014, as in previous years, a transfer request to move to the Toolstation Western League was rejected by the FA. This refusal had a devastating effect on the club with players and team management of both 1st team and Reserves leaving en masse.

History will record that several managers and committee members worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of the club during the following four seasons. The Reserves lasted for only the first of those seasons in the Bristol Suburban League.

One positive feature has been the participation of the 1st team in the FA Vase competition.

August 2018 saw the prospect of a 1st team still in the Hellenic League Division 1 [West], a Reserve team hoping to re-enter the Bristol Suburban League at a realistic level and an U18 squad playing under floodlights in the Somerset Floodlit League.
