Bloxwich United F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloxwich United F.C. was a football club based in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, England. The club was formed by a merger between Blakenall F.C. and Bloxwich Town F.C. in 2001 and took over the former's place in the Southern League Western Division. However, after 19 games of the 2001-02 season, the controlling Blakenall contingent amongst the joint ownership abruptly pulled out of the merger and resigned the club's place in the Southern League causing their record to be expunged.
The merged club played just one tie in each of the FA Cup and FA Trophy, losing at home on each occasion.
Bloxwich Town reformed the following season and joined the Midland Combination, but in 2005 they again withdrew from the league and appear to have folded completely. Their former home ground, Abbey Park, is now owned by West Midlands Regional League Division One club Sporting Khalsa.
