Bath City F.C. are a football club based in Bath, Somerset, currently playing in the Conference South. They play in a strip of black and white shirts, black shorts and black socks. Their manager (since June 2005) is John Relish. Over the last 10 years they flirted with both relegation and promotion from the Southern League but neither had occurred since 1997 prior to promotion recently achieved in the 2006-7 season. They have an excellent cup tradition, reaching the FA cup third round no less than six times. In 2004 they continued this when they lost in the FA Cup second round to Peterborough United and in the third round of the FA Trophy by Canvey Island F.C.. In the 2005-2006 season they finished second in the league but lost to Bedford Town in the playoff semi final. In 2006-07 they went one better and won the Southern League championship.

History

Bath City's history is confined entirely to non-league football partly because of the election system formerly used to control entrance to the Football League. Their finest days were during the Second World War when they were by chance accepted to join the temporary Division Two Northern Division competing with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton, finishing the eventual champions, thereby becoming the only semi-professional side ever to win a Football League trophy.
