Wikipedia - Forres Mechanics F.C.
Forres Mechanics Football Club are a senior Scottish association football club from the town of Forres, Moray, currently playing in the Highland League. They play at the town's Mosset Park. Forres Mechanics are the oldest association football club in the North of Scotland and are one of only two original teams to play in the Highland League since its first season in 1893, the other being Clachnacuddin.
History
Their unusual name is variously stated to come from the town's Mechanics Institute or most likely when a group of craftsmen or mechanics split from an earlier Forres team to form their own club. Forres Mechanics have won the Highland league twice: in the 1985–86 season and in the 2011–12 season.
On 26 November 2016, Forres Mechanics played their most high-profile match in recent years when they held League One side Stenhousemuir to a 2–2 draw in 2016–17 Scottish Cup, however they lost 3–1 in the replay. During the 2020–21 season, which was greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, Forres withdrew from the Highland League before returning the following season.
The team's colors are traditionally amber and black, which are proudly displayed by players and supporters alike during matches. Forres Mechanics plays its home games at Mosset Park, a venue known for its welcoming atmosphere and community spirit. The club's nickname, "The Mechanics," reflects its origins in the local engineering industry, and it has become a symbol of pride for the town.
Over the years, Forres Mechanics has enjoyed various successes, including league titles and cup victories, and continues to strive for excellence on the pitch. The club emphasizes youth development and community involvement, making it a cornerstone of local sports culture. With a focus on teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship, Forres Mechanics remains a beloved institution in Scottish football, embodying the spirit of the game and the community it represents.
