In the 1960s and 1970s, Stonehouse was regularly attracting crowds of over 2000 to their Western League, Wiltshire Premier League, Gloucestershire County League, where they won the first ever title, and FA Cup games.
The club was known as Stonehouse Freeway until 2007 when the men's and youth teams merged.

Promotion to Northern Senior League One in 2009 has been followed by a County Cup final appearance in 2010, coming runners up to Tetbury Town with a 3-1 defeat and winning the competition in 2011, beating Sharpness Utd 5-0. Stonehouse came 6th at the end of the 2009-10 league campaign, and improved on this as they finished 5th 2010-11.
The club runs four teams:
The club is based at The Magpies stadium in Oldends Lane. The current ground is in desperate need of repair. It has two stands, both of which have been vandalised through the years.
