Roman Glass St George F.C. is a football club based in the Bristol suburb of St George, Bristol, England. Founded in 1872, they are the oldest club in Bristol. The club is affiliated to the Gloucestershire County FA.
Sometimes playing as just St George or as Bristol St George, they were among the founder members of the Bristol & District League (since 1895 known as the Western League) in 1892, playing in that league with the exception of 1899-1901 until 1903. During that period, the team also played in the Birmingham & District League.
After dropping back to local football, they did not re-appear in the Western League until 1928, for a seven-season period in Division Two, when they only finished in the top half of the table once. After finishing bottom in 1934-35, they once again left the Western League for the Bristol and District League.
During the 1960s, the club was playing in the Bristol Premier Combination, winning the Division One title five seasons in a row from 1963-68.
In 1968, the Gloucestershire County League was formed, with St George among the founder members. They were runners-up in the first season, winning the title in 1969-70 and finished as runners-up again in 1972-73. Despite staying in the league for a further fourteen seasons (including three when known as Immediate Bristol St George), they did not finish in the top two again until leaving the league in 1987.
The club played in the County of Avon Premier Combination, winning Division One in 1988-90, finishing as Premier Division runners-up on 1990-91 and eventually won the Premier Division two years later. They did not rejoin the Gloucestershire County League until 1999, but within three seasons had won that league as well. Another County League triumph in 2006-07 earned them a further promotion to the Western League Division One for 2007-08, where in their first season, the club finished safely in mid-table.
