- Saltcoats Victoria F.C.
Saltcoats Victoria Football Club are a Scottish
football (soccer) club based in the town ofSaltcoats ,North Ayrshire . Nicknamed "the Seasiders", they were formed in 1911 and they play at Campbell Park. They currently compete in the West Region of theScottish Junior Football Association .Campbell Park is now poorly situated within the town as there is no longer any housing in the area, and no nearby pubs. Saltcoats have never had a huge support but the locals have shown in the past they will turn out for the big games. When Saltcoats twice reached the quarter final stage of the Scottish Junior Cup in the 1970s the home legs both attracted an estimated 3000+ supporters. Like many Junior Clubs Saltcoats rely on a hard working committee, and donations from sponsors to stay afloat. Campbell Park is now owned by
North Ayrshire Council , but the facilities for players and match officials are poor. The Grandstand was destroyed by a severe storm in the early 1970s. The changing rooms below were maintained for some years after, but now the club relies on pre-fabricated facilities.Honours
