[edit] History

Club formed 1958 and run from Mile Oak hotel. Played at various grounds until 1967 when moved to present ground at Price Avenue. Played in various leagues including the dizzy heights of the southern league in the early eighties. This proved to be a disastrous move and returned to Midland Fottball Combination.

In 1993-94, they dropped to Birmingham AFA due to severe financial pressures upon both club and team. Returned to Midland Combination for 1998-99 season. Did well but lack of backroom staff forced Rovers to fold at the end of 2001-02 season. Re-started 2003-04 season in Midland Combination. Are now well established in Division 1 of that League.
