        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.
