Strathspey Thistle FC

The Club are looking forward to welcoming back home spectators when we play our first home game at Seafield Park on 5 December against Rothes FC followed a week later by Buckie Thistle in the William Hill Scottish Cup…..unfortunately no away spectators will be allowed, which also means that our fans can only attend home games. More information about cup games, weather postponements and rearranged games can be accessed on our Facebook and Twitter feeds.

With the league opener just 2 weeks away we are now in the position to give information on our season ticket packages for the coming season. A full season ticket can be purchased for £50 with a concession for £25.

We appreciate your support during these challenging times and everyone is raring to go after such a long lay off. 

Whether you are a lifelong Jags fan or someone looking for something to do on a Saturday in these restricting times, we are offering you guaranteed entry to every Strathspey Thistle home league game in the 2020/21 season.

Early purchase not only guarantees you entry into the ground but is a much needed financial boost to the club in these challenging times. Now more than ever your support is vital to the club and the community.

If you are interested in purchasing a ticket or have any further questions then please contact us through the message button on the Facebook page or phone 07826 619110.

Your support as always is greatly appreciated by all at The Club.

Stay safe

After a nineteen week break the lottery is back – these are the local businesses that have very graciously allowed us to sell lottery tickets from their premises –  Tickets will also be available from our usual individual agents. 

Thank you for all your help.

For up to date news please see our Facebook and Twitter feeds 

Following the Highland League’s decision to conclude the 2019/2020 league after a meeting with all the clubs on the 21 March 2020, the management committee of Strathspey Thistle Football Club would like to thank all players, management – Gordon, Tommy and Robbie, and our supporters and very generous sponsors – both for match day hospitality together with our main sponsors for their commitment to the club – we very much appreciate it.  We finished in thirteenth place (with a few games in hand by the way…!!) – our highest placing since we entered the league in 2009. We congratulate the winners Brora Rangers FC on a well deserved championship.

As the country comes to terms with isolations and restrictions of movement we have decided to suspend our weekly lottery – and aptly, our last draw on Sunday 22 March resulted in NHS worker Mr Tony Powell from Newtonmore winning the accumulated £3600 prize.

The lottery will restart when things return to a more normal environment and if anyone has bought tickets for this week’s draw they will be valid for the first draw on resumption – those who have paid in advance will have the period covered extended appropriately. Anyone paying by standing order will also be catered for..

As you can all imagine, the club will find the weeks ahead challenging, as will every “small” club in the UK, so the difficult tasks are to get in place all the ingredients necessary for another successful season…hopefully starting at the usual time late July/early August.

We will try to keep you all up to date, through our Twitter and Facebook pages, as well as this website -which we will try to keep updating with as much information for next season as we can – with regards fixtures, players, merchandise, corporate days, sponsorships etc etc.

PLEASE FOLLOW GOVERNMENT ADVICE ON SELF-ISOLATION, SOCIAL DISTANCING AND HYGIENE, AND ABIDE BY THE RESTRICTIONS ON MOVEMENTS OUTSIDE YOUR HOME AND ON TRAVEL. PLEASE, ALSO ADHERE TO ISSUED GUIDELINES IF YOU ARE HELPING VULNERABLE PEOPLE OR THOSE IN NEED OF FOOD DELIVERY. WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE PREPARED TO PUT THEIR, AND THEIR FAMILIES HEALTH AT RISK FOR OTHERS – – BY TAKING SUCH MEASURES WE CAN ALL PLAY OUR PART IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS

We’ll be back as soon as is possible…Stay safe, as they say!

We welcome the current leaders of the Highland League to Seafield Park on Saturday.

After an excellent game of football and very evenly fought, McHardy’s last minute goal for Rothes proved to be the winner. The Jags had twice taken the lead – in 75 minutes by Liam Taylor and after 83 minutes by Andrew Hardwick, but after both goals Rothes had quickly equalised. The win keeps Rothes in fourth place in the league and we turn our attention to next Saturday and the visit of league leaders Brora Rangers.

22 February 2020 – Royal British Legion, Grantown-on-Spey

7pm for 7.30pm – contact Committee members for details about a great night out or look out for our social media information @JagsStfc

Mackessack Park, Rothes – 2 February 2020
