GOODRICH F.C.
GOODRICH SPORTS GROUND, STAFFORD ROAD FORDHOUSES, WOLVERHAMPTON
The Club first joined the West Midlands League in 1983 as Aero Lucas, but life was short lived despite promotion to the First Division within 3 years, when the Club resigned in 1989. However they rejoined the league in 1997 as Lucas Flight Controls, and enjoyed a successful association in Division One despite a change in name in 2000/01.
A Change in company ownership in 2003, saw the Club (now Goodrich Sports) successfully win the First Division North, therefore rewarding them with promotion to the Premier Division.
The League's Management Committee gave them permission to groundshare with Wednesfield for one season allowing them promotion to the Premier Division. This gave Goodrich time to install a new grandstand and erect new floodlights.
As agreed the club returned home for the start of the 2005 / 2006 season having now established themselves as a new member of the Premier Division, with an aim to buid solid foundations for future development.
For Goodrich it is the dawning of a new and exciting era.
