Slade Green F.C. is a football club based in Slade Green in the London Borough of Bexley, England. They were established in 1946 and joined the Kent League in 1970. For the 2008-09 season, they are members of the Kent League Premier Division.

History

Prior to World War II, Slade Green was represented by three clubs: The Wasps, St Augustines and Southern Railway Sports. On 6 June 1946 a meeting was held at the Railway Hotel at which these three clubs merged to form Slade Green Athletic FC (re-named Slade Green FC in 1986).

In 1952, The Green joined the Kent Amateur League and were the Division Two champions in their first season, followed by winning Division One the following season without losing a match!

In 1960/61 season Green were Senior Division Champions and shortly afterwards they were elected to the Greater London League. After finishing as Greater London League runners-up in 1969, they stepped up to the Kent League, where they have remained ever since although they have always been a mid-table team.

Ground

Since its foundation The Green have played on a small patch of land adjacent to the Erith marshes, originally named simply The Glen. In 1987 the 'Small' prefix was added, honouring Charlie and Gert Small who had been involved with the club since its earliest days.

The ground boasts an elevated car park and well-appointed clubhouse, with shelter for the fans being provided by a large if basic concrete structure on one side of the pitch with a large sloping roof. The remainder of the ground is undeveloped, save for hard standing and floodlights.

The club plans to install permanent seating, something they had been reluctant to do previously due to high levels of vandalism at the ground. Fortunately they were able to secure a grant to install a perimeter fence, which has eliminated this problem.
