Langdon invested significantly into the clubs facilities to ensure
they met Southern League standards should Bitton qualify for
promotion in the future. The wooden clubhouse was demolished
and a new building erected, whilst arrangements were made to
accommodate turnstiles required for the next level. This
investment continues to demonstrate the clubs drive and ambition
to push for promotion to the Southern League.
The Reserve Team play in the Premier Division of the Bristol
Premier Combination whilst the 'A' team (3rd's) play in Division 1
of the Bristol and District League. Bitton Ladies were formed at the
start of the 2007/2008 season and play in the Gloucestershire
County Womens Football League.
Bitton AFC also run an impressive Youth structure for boys & girls,
with teams ranging from Under 6's right through to Under 18's.
Season 2019-20 saw Bitton have a magnificent run in the Buildbase
FA Vase, reaching the semi-finals for the first time in the Club’s
history. Unfortunately, the World Pandemic caused the competition
to be truncated somewhat and the semi-final against Consett was
played as a one-off match instead of the usual two legs, consequently
denying Bitton the chance to stage a big semi-final tie on their own ground. The
1-0 defeat saw them miss out on a trip to Wembley Stadium.
