This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026. Your current IP address is 3.87.170.64.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Solihull Borough F.C.''' was an [[England|English]] football club from [[Solihull]].  In [[2007 in football (soccer)|2007]] the club merged with [[Moor Green F.C.|Moor Green]] to form a new club, [[Solihull Moors F.C.|Solihull Moors]].

==History==
Solihull Borough FC was founded in [[1953 in football (soccer)|1953]] by [[Joe McGorian]]. They originally played at Widney Lane in Solihull under the name of '''Lincoln FC'''.  After changing their name to Solihull Borough, they joined the [[Midland Football Combination]] Division Two in [[1969 in football (soccer)|1969]].  In 1971, they were promoted to Division One, which was later renamed the Premier Division.  They were runners-up in 1984–85 and again in 1990–91, after which they stepped up to the [[Southern League (football)|Southern League]], where they were Midland division champions at the first attempt.

In [[1989 in football (soccer)|1989]], financial problems had forced the club to sell their Widney Lane Ground to property developers and eventually agreed a ground share with their local rivals, [[Moor Green F.C.|Moor Green]]. In 1993, Solihull managed to get to the first round of the [[FA Cup]], but lost out to fellow non-leaguers [[Rugby Town F.C.|VS Rugby]], a feat repeated in 1997–98 when they lost to [[Darlington F.C.|Darlington]] on penalties.

In 1995, Solihull won the Birmingham Senior Cup for the first time, but were relegated back to the Southern League Midland Division.

In 1998, Solihull moved to the home ground of [[Redditch United F.C.|Redditch United]], before they finally found their own home ground, with the purchase of the Damson Parkway site, a former golf driving range, where the [[Damson Park]] stadium was built.

Despite finishing only 7th in the table, the Boro were promoted to the [[Southern League Premier Division]], but finished bottom of the table and were relegated.  After one season in the Western Division, the club were placed in the new Division One Midlands.

Following an arson attack at Moor Green's stadium in 2005, from then onwards, Solihull and Moor Green once again shared a ground.  In January 2007 the two clubs applied to [[the Football Association]] to formally merge.<ref>[http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/sundaymercury/news/tm_headline=moors--boro--bid-for-merger&method=full&objectid=18513799&siteid=50002-name_page.html Birmingham Sunday Mercury story]</ref>  The merger was confirmed on 30 March 2007 when it was revealed that a new club under the name [[Solihull Moors F.C.|Solihull Moors]] would be formed on 1 June and would take Moor Green's place in the [[Conference North]].<ref>[http://icsolihull.icnetwork.co.uk/sport/local/tm_headline=the-birth-of-solihull-moors--fc&method=full&objectid=18833307&siteid=91411-name_page.html icsolihull.co.uk story]</ref>  Moor Green boss Bob Faulkner was later confirmed as the new club's football manager.
