About us
The Spartans Football Club was established by two former Edinburgh University players, Elliot Wardlaw and Jimmy Beaumont, in the summer of 1951 and immediately joined the East of Scotland League. The club was originally formed for former university and college footballers but the constitution now allows “other interested parties” to join. Spartans continue to play in the East of Scotland League, the level directly below the Third Division of the Scottish Football League. Spartans are currently poised to move to a new purpose-built home at Ainslie Park, situated 500 yards from City Park. The new facility includes a 504-seater stand and floodlights surrounding the main stadium pitch and an adjacent, full size artificual pitch, also with floodlights. The ground meets all SFA and SFL regulations. In July 2008 Spartans applied to take up a membership vacancy in the Scottish Football League, but lost the election to East of Scotland League rivals Annan Athletic.
