History
Nithsdale Wanderers moved to Crawick Holm in 1920, the ground being located next to Crawick Water.[1]
The club were elected into the new Third Division of the Scottish Football League in 1923, and the first SFL match at Crawick Holm was played on 25 August 1923, a 5–0 win over Brechin City in front of 1,100 spectators.[1] The ground's probable record attendance was set a few weeks later when a crowd of 4,200 watched a 3–2 defeat by Queen of the South in a Scottish Qualifying Cup second round game.[1] The club's highest recorded league attendance of 1,500 was set the following week for another match against Queen of the South on 23 September, with the match ending in a 1–1 draw.[1]
The club left the SFL at the end of the 1926–27 season after finishing bottom of Division Two; the final SFL match at the ground was played on 30 April 1927, a 4–3 defeat by Clydebank with 1,000 in attendance.[1] The site was still used for football in the 1990s,[1] but was subsequently used to build an industrial warehouse.
