Wolverhampton Casuals Football Club was established in 1899. They joined West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two in 1982–83 and were promoted to Division One the following season. They finished runners-up in Division One for three successive seasons, and were promoted to the Premier Division in 1987–88 after a fourth-place finish. The club reached the First Round of the FA Vase in 1989–90, however The Cassies were relegated back to Division One in 1991. They regained their Premier Division status after winning the league in 1994–95. In 2010–11, the club were runners-up in the League Cup. For the 2011–12 season local management duo Lee Cooke and Carl Abbott took control of the first team, and following a squad rebuild guided the side to its best ever, 3rd-place finish in the Premier Division.
Midway through the 2012-13 season, with the side in 4th place in the table, Lee Cooke resigned his position as joint manager on 15 December 2012. Carl Abbott took sole charge of the first team. During the course of the 2012-13 season Casuals reached the first qualifying round of the FA Cup, taking Midland Alliance side Tividale to a replay, before going out, having disposed of Tipton Town and Pilkington XXX in earlier rounds. The team finished the season again in 3rd place, in a tightly contested championship with Lye Town and eventual winners AFC Wulfrunians, achieving 97 points for the season, a best ever league record achieved. Casuals also ended the season as runners up in the JW Hunt Cup, finalists for the first time in the club's history, narrowly losing out in the final to Black Country Rangers.
