Stranraer Athletic Football Club was afootball club from the town ofStranraer inDumfries and Galloway, Scotland. They played in theSouth of Scotland League,[1] although they announced that they would not participate in 2008–09 following the resignation of their manager and the failure to form a committee to run the club.
They were formed in 1995 as at the time it was felt by those who formed the club thatStranraer were fielding players based out with 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 continued to play their home matches. However this enthusiasm was not maintained and crowds were low. Nonetheless, the club proved quite successful in theSouth of Scotland League, which they joined upon their creation. They finished second in their inaugural season and between seasons2002–03 and2004–05 they won three consecutive league titles.
The team's strip (uniform) colours were the same asStranraer FC, blue and white.[2]
