History The club played in the Gloucestershire County Football League and won promotion from Division 9 twice (1982 and 1985), but by the end of the 1993-94 financial woes hit the club, and they merged with neighbours Totterdown Athletic to form Tottertown-Port of Bristol FC. The merger then folded at the conclusion of the 2006–07 season after producing only one top half of the table finish in its existence.https://www.fchd.info/TOTTEPOB.HTM
