Ardrossan Winton Rovers were formed around 1900 - the exact date is subject of some debate as the research has still to be fully carried out but there was a Winton Rovers team - at juvenile level prior to 1900. Known as "the Winton" they play out of Winton Park, Ardrossan. ****(Location Map)****

The club colours are Black and White - currently stripes although hoops have often been used. Away Jerseys are red and white hoops.

There is some cover near the main entrance to the park and on match days there are opportunites to get both sustenance and a regularly produced matchday programme. Admission to the ground on matchdays is normally £4 for adults and £1.50 for OAP's and U16's

Ardrossan Winton Rovers play in the "Stagecoach" Ayrshire District Junior League - junior by name but semi pro in reality. The club also play in the Scottish Junior Cup which this season is sponsored by Emirates Airlines - a major boost to the game.

 

Current teams in our league are: Troon, Lugar Boswell Thistle, Irvine Victoria,Kilwinning Rangers,Saltcoats Victoria, Muirkirk, Darvel, Ardeer Thistle as well as Hurlford United,Kello Rovers and Craigmark from the Southern parts of Ayrshire and beyond.

 

The league winners and second placed team get promoted to the Superleague 1st Division which is a mixture of former Ayrshire and Central League teams.

 Winton Park has been the home of Winton Rovers for most of their existance and was bought from Lord Eglinton in 1923 for £160. The park originally ran in an East West direction and after Bell's Nursery sold some land after the Second World War, the park was turned to its current North South direction. The grandstand (currently disused) was built around 1956.

The pitch is approx 110 yards long by 66 wide and the ground capacity is approx 3000.
