Support and Community

Saltcoats has always had loyal support, and locals have shown in the past that they will turn out in numbers for 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 3,000+ supporters. Like many Junior clubs, Saltcoats relies on a hard-working committee and sponsors to maintain revenue.

Campbell Park

Campbell Park is now owned by North Ayrshire Council. The grandstand was destroyed by a severe storm in the early 1970s. The changing rooms were maintained for some years after, but now the club relies on pre-fabricated facilities. After these facilities were deemed unsuitable, the club was forced to groundshare with local rivals Ardeer Thistle for three years before returning in 2011 with new 'vandal-proof' facilities being installed.

The team is managed by Stevie Wilson. [3]
