[edit] History
Oldbury United FC was formed in 1958 and joined the Worcestershire Combination (later Midland Football Combination in 1966. They were league runners-up twice in the late 1970s and in 1982, despite only finishing fifth in the league, stepped up to the Southern League Midland Division.
In 1985/86 United finished bottom of the league and switched to the West Midlands Regional League where they enjoyed a number of successful seasons, including winning the championship in 1993. Based on this, in 1994 they became founder members of the Midland Alliance, where they have played ever since, with a best finish of third place.
Due to an ongoing legal dispute, Oldbury United will play their first 10 home games of the 2007–08 season at Pelsall Villa's Bush Ground.
