Birmingham Citadel F.C. is a football team run by the Salvation Army that currently plays in the 5th Division (out of 9) of the Birmingham AFA. It's currently managed by Marc and Scott Richardson and plays it's home games at Moor Lane in Perry Barr.
Although the team is run by the Army many of it's members come from outside the organisation. The secretary/centre half, Mark Sharman, in a (not quite so recent anymore) interview with the Midlands Non-League Football Paper "Grass Roots" explained, "If someone comes along and wants to commit themselves to the club it's not an issue whether they're with the Army or not". (For complete interview, please see Grassroots Interview)
The team has now finished it's 7th complete season finishing 9th in the league. The squad is large, young (apart from a few golden oldies!), talented and has set it's sights on promotion from Division 5 after not fulfilling their true potential last year.
