[edit] History
Formerly known as Chubb Sports F.C they lost their home club and pitches due to the Chubb lock and safe factory closing down and being sold for housing. The club's new name was chosen by the existing players who also designed the club's badge in 2001.
The club entered the West Midlands (Regional) League in 2005-06 competing in the youth league. The next season they entered their first team into division 2 and in the 2006-07 season the club under the name of Heath Town Rangers F.C. won the Division 2 title and also claimed the Youth League title. In 2007-08 season they entered a reserve team into Division 2 and Heath Town Rangers F.C. first team gained promotion from Division 1 into the Premier Division by finishing in 3rd place and they also won the Staffordshire Challenge Cup in the same season. In their first season in the Premier Division they finished 8th and reached the final of the league cup which was postponed and never played.
On November 1st during the 2010-11 season the club changed its name from Heath Town Rangers to Wolverhampton Sporting Community Football Club because they had achieved what they originally set out to achieve under the name Heath Town Rangers and for them to push further up the footballing ladder they needed to change their name.
