Crawick Holm was a football ground in Sanquhar, Scotland. It was the home ground of Nithsdale Wanderers.

History

Nithsdale Wanderers moved to Crawick Holm in 1920, the ground being located next to Crawick Water. [1]

The club were elected into the new Third Division of the Scottish Football League in 1923, and the first SFL match at Crawick Holm was played on 25 August 1923, a 5–0 win over Brechin City in front of 1,100 spectators. [1] The ground's probable record attendance was set a few weeks later when a crowd of 4,200 watched a 3–2 defeat by Queen of the South in a Scottish Qualifying Cup second-round game. [1] The club's highest recorded league attendance of 1,500 was set the following week for another match against Queen of the South on 23 September, with the match ending in a 1–1 draw. [1]

The club left the SFL at the end of the 1926–27 season after finishing bottom of Division Two; the final SFL match at the ground was played on 30 April 1927, a 4–3 defeat by Clydebank with 1,000 in attendance. [1] The site was still used for football in the 1990s, [1] but was subsequently used to build an industrial warehouse.
