Stranraer Athletic F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stranraer Athletic Football Club are a football (soccer) club from the town of Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. They were formed in 1995 as at the time it was felt by those who formed the club that Stranraer F.C. were fielding players based outwith the town and not giving local players a chance to exhibit their talents. A crowd of 100 turned up for the club's first ever home game at Stranraer Academy Playing Fields, where the club continue to play their home matches. However this enthusiasm was not maintained and crowds are low. None the less, the club has proven quite successful in the South of Scotland League, which they joined upon their creation. They finished second in their inaugural season and between seasons 2002-03 and 2004-05 they won three consecutive league titles.
The team's strip (uniform) colours are the same as Stanrear F.C., blue and white.
