Northfield Town F.C.
Northfield Town Football Club is an amateur football club based in the Selly Oak/Northfield area in the South of the City of Birmingham, England. The senior first team play in the Midland League Division Two.
Although the name of Northfield Town Football Club came into being in 1966, its origins go back to the early 1930s, then playing under the name of Allen's Cross Football Club, which was part of the Allen's Cross Sports Club. Due to the success of the sports ground and the permission of a bar being allowed from Cadburys in 1970, the Allen's Cross Sports Club grew and went from strength to strength, which resulted in the sports ground requesting to break away from the Allen's Cross Community Association (which was the original lease holder of the current sports ground on Shenley Lane) in 1983. There was an initial reluctance, but an eventual agreement to the request, with the understating that the new organisation become a community association, which was the birth of Shenley Lane Community Association & Sports Centre.
In its early days the club had two teams Allen's Cross F.C. Seniors & Allen's Cross F.C. Juniors, the clubs teams had spells in the Kings Norton League, Warwickshire & West Midlands Alliance and the Mercian League, then the senior team joined the Midland Combination in 1957 (then known as the Worcestershire Combination). The senior team won the League Challenge Cup in their first year and the League Championship in 1961–62. Following an amalgamation with another successful local side, Castle Rovers, the club played briefly as Cross Castle United before adopting the present title of Northfield Town in 1966.
In 2013 Northfield Town F.C. amalgamated with Shenley Radford Youth F.C. to create a youth system. This was the beginning of Northfield Town Juniors F.C. then becoming Northfield Town Foundation in 2025 after gaining charity status.
The 2013–14 season was the last season in the Midland Football Combination, in which 'The Town' finished 13th before entering the newly formed Midland Football League for the 2014–15 season. For the 2021–22 season the club went through some major changes and made the decision to join the Birmingham and District Football League, with the hope this will help the clubs growth in the long term. The changes made have started to come to fruition sooner than expected, with a rise for the senior first team back to the Midland Football League Division 2 for the 2024–25 season, a creation of a development team to help our players transitioning from U18 to open age football competing in the Birmingham and District Football League in season 2023–24, our first venture into the Midland Floodlit Youth League for our U18 team in season 2024-25 and for the season 2023-24 we created a girls section at the club with our first girls team playing in the Central Warwickshire Girls Football League. Along with all this we have managed to keep growing the junior section of the club with our teams competing in the Midland Junior Premier League, the Mercian Junior Football League, the Central Warwickshire Youth Football League and the Central Warwickshire Girls Football League.
During the 2024/25 season the club broke the previous record attendance (of 124 people set in the 2016/17 season Vs Montpellier) twice. Firstly Vs Cadbury Athletic, with 151 people attending the match, and then again, on what was viewed as the division two title decider, Vs Knowle F.C. with 393 people attending the match. If Knowle F.C. had won that match, they were the league champions, if Northfield Town won, it meant that the title wouldn't be decided until Northfield Town had played their next two fixtures, fortunately Northfield Town won 1–0, and then won the following fixture to be crowned the division two champions.
The early clubs history was incorporated into the current club badge, with the X representing Allen's Cross Football Club & the castle representing Castle Rovers.
The club colours changed in 2013 as part of the agreement with the amalgamation with Shenley Radford Youth F.C. The home kits are Black and White vertical stripes with a hint of red in the shirts (Shenley Radford's traditional colours), the away kit is Blue and Yellow (Northfield Town's traditional colours)
