Tividale F.C. is a football club based in Tividale, near Dudley, West Midlands, England. They were established in 1954. In the 2011–12 season, under the management of Dean Whitehouse, they reached the 5th round of the FA Vase, the furthest the club has progressed in the competition.〔http://www.fchd.info/TIVIDALE.HTM.〕 They won the Midland Football Alliance in 2013–14. ==History== Tividale F.C. was formed in 1954 as the senior branch of Tividale Hall Youth Club F.C and originally played in the Handsworth and District League, before moving on to the Warwickshire & West Midlands Alliance. In 1966 they joined the newly formed West Midlands (Regional) League Division One. In 1973 they gained promotion to the Premier Division and remained there for nearly 20 years, with a best-placed finish of 4th. In 1991 the club were relegated to Division One due to no longer being able to meet the required ground standards for the top division, and these events led to a number of management and playing staff leaving the club. New manager Terry Jones was able to turn the club's fortunes around and in 1993 Tividale finished second in Division One and won promotion back into the Premier. Unfortunately in the same year the Midland Football Alliance was formed, moving the West Midlands League one step down the pyramid, so in a sense the club had not advanced. Since their return to the Premier Division Tividale have generally been a mid-table side, although in 2001–02 they finished second, despite having three points deducted. Between 2002 and 2004 the club reached the final of the Walsall Senior Cup in three successive seasons, winning the trophy in 2003. Ian Long joined as joint-manager with Stuart Scriven in 2013. After Scriven left the club due to work commitments in 2013, Long assumed sole managership of the first team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tividalefc.com/scriv-steps-down/ )〕 In their first season in the Northern Premier League Division One South Tividale finished in 8th position. Long stepped down at the end of the 2014-15 season and was replaced by joint managers Philip Male and Ross Thorpe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tividale F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
