CLUB HISTORY |

 |
The history of our club can be traced back as far as 1897 when Bellshill Athletic were founded as a Juvenile club who played at Hawthorn Park. After two successful years as a Juvenile club, Athletic transferred to Junior level. The area had three other clubs at this time - Bellshill Thistle, Mossend Celtic and Mossend Brigade. These clubs have gone out of existence. During our early years as a Junior club, our homes included Orbiston Park, Douglas Park and Brigade Park. Brandon Park, in Bowling Green Street was officially opened as Bellshill's home ground in a friendly against Blantyre Victoria in August of 1903. Without a doubt the largest crowd seen since then was around 10,000 who attended a Scottish cup sixth round tie against St Rochs. That day is better remembered for the attendance rather than the score, as St Rochs emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. Bellshill have played at Junior level since 1899, with an exception of a short spell (1927 - 1931) during which they played in the intermediate league.
