Representing the Ferry in Scottish Junior football

Broughty Athletic F.C. are a Scottish junior football (soccer) club based in Broughty Ferry, a suburb of Dundee. They play in red and white and their home ground is Whitton Park, Arbroath Road, Dundee - opposite the medieval Claypotts Castle. The Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) restructured its leagues prior to the 2006-07 season, and "the Fed", as the club is affectionately known, found themselves in the twelve-team East Region, North Division. The Club runs a very successful Soccer Sevens Festival each July and the two-day event attracts participation by Under 9s, 10s and 11s teams from Dundee, the rest of Angus and Perthshire. During 2009 the Club further extended its community involvement when it became a founder Group Club member of the Dundee East Community Sports Club (DECSC) - see http://www.decsc.co.uk for further information. Broughty Athletic and the other Group Club members of the DECSC have ambitious long-term plans to turn Whitton Park into a stadium which will bring benefits to the Dundee East area. It is hoped to have Astroturf training ground facilities, a new clubhouse, an indoor gym and improved parking and spectator facilities. In seasons 2007-08 and 2008-09 Broughty Athletic narrowly missed out on promotion, finishing second top of the Scottish Junior Football Association's North Division in both seasons but in the final league match of the 2009-10 season they defeated Forfar Albion by 7-0 to clinch the championship and with it promotion to the SJFA East Region's Premier League.
