Armadale Thistle Football Club are a Scottish junior football club based in the town of Armadale, West Lothian. Formed in 1936 and nicknamed The Dale, they play their home games at Volunteer Park. The club presently plays in the East Region Premier League.
Volunteer Park, which has room for around 3,000 spectators, once played host to Scottish Football League games, between 1921 and 1932, when Armadale F.C. were members. It hosted a Scottish FA Cup quarter final in 1920 when Armadale lost to Kilmarnock and holds the record attendance for both juniors and seniors in West Lothian.[citation needed] It has been a football ground since 1881. Originally it was the drill field for the Volunteers (army reserves). It was home to (the first) Armadale F.C. from 1889.
Thistle tend to attract a support of around 100 to home games.
