About Us
Sands United Bristol FC were founded in 2019. We are part of the network of Sands United football clubs around the country. We are a team that provides a unique avenue of support for men affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth. Many men have reached out to Sands United Bristol FC for support because they didn’t feel the traditional avenues of support were for them.
Each member of the team wears a shirt that carries meaning for them. We all chose a squad number that is important to us and we play with our babies names on the shirt near our hearts. We are all part of a club that nobody wants to be a part of but one that has the highest cost of membership.
We play for the best worst team in football.
We are Sands United Bristol ??

The first year of Dynamos was 1988, the year on our badge. The club was founded by college mates who were studying Tourism at Bristol Polytechnic; Dai and Tony (plus others). These founding fathers entered the team into some local friendlies and looked for a league that they could enter. A league was found and games ensued; and the first incarnation of was christened ‘Dynamo Tourismo’ (a nod to the University course which brought this band of merry men together).
This was the late 80s/early 90s with a group of mates in their early twenties driven purely by their love of the beautiful game; resources were in short supply, namely kit! The club begged and borrowed and managed to get hold of a kit that was the same as the Belarus national kit. This prompted a name change to ‘Dynamo Belarus.’ Around this time the club entered the Bristol Casuals League, a home for teams looking for an organised league, but without the formality (and also a place for teams getting a little more ‘mature’).
The club had several places it called home at this stage; The Lawns near Cribbs, Pill, St Anne’s to name a few. And around 2005 the club changed and dropped the Belarus to be known just as Dynamos. We managed to get a sponsor for our shirt thanks to Tel, who worked for a local cabin hire firm. Badger became the manager for a three-year stint to enact his vision.
But players started getting old and retiring, numbers dwindled and training was sporadic. Happily a new generation came in spearheaded by Mike H. We got a new kit; it was a Nike one; seriously posh! A cup semi-final followed in 2018/19, Dynamos falling short of cup glory by a single goal conceded in extra time. Finally, after many years clinging on to our Division 2 status the club finally dropped down to the third tier, albeit in a season which ended up being cut short by Covid.
With numbers falling and the future of the club in doubt, 2020/21 brought a merger with Trojans Vets and ensured the continuing legacy of Dynamos.
