Statistically the most unsuccessful club in Scottish Football they have NEVER won a league title. They have had the odd promotion through the years via the play offs or by finishing runners up but have never finished the season as champions.
140 years old this season they look like finally breaking their duck, 15 points clear at the top of Scottish League 2 with only 8 games left surely they can finally become champions!!!
Makes our wait of 41 years for a league title seem like yesterday!!!

Lovely club, had the pleasure of seeing half a dozen games at Ochilview over the years. Looks very different now to how it used to be.

They have a Norwegian supporters group who follow the club because the name translates to Stone House Wall in Norwegian.

We went to watch them play Hearts in the Scottish League Cup in 1996. They lost in a penalty shootout. Had a soft spot for them for quite a while afterwards

Always a memorable team by name. As a 7 year old doing my Shoot league ladders, I called them Stenchousemanure. Congratulations, we all love an underdog coming out on top!

Always been my "Scottish" team from a young age, so really pleased for them. Likewise. I was really excited when there was a Stenhousemuir team photo in the magnificent “Soccer Star” magazine from 1966 or 67. Such an exotic sounding name. I didn’t get to see them till September 1980 at Montrose (Stennie won 3-1). Their goalie, Howie, looked like he’d just strolled out from the pub. As posted earlier I’ve seen them a few times since at Ochilview and found them to be a great little club. |

I'll have to see them at some point, maybe we can get Westie to host us at a game there? I started supporting them I think also because of the name but I think they used to lose a lot too, so I picked a Scottish version of Town in the early 70s. |
