History
Founded in 1884, they play at Ochilview Park (capacity 2374). Their nickname is "The Warriors", and the team's mascot is "Wullie the Warrior", a viking-like figure with round shield and horned helmet. Through much of its history the team has languished in the relative obscurity of the lower leagues of Scottish football, spending the 2003/4 season in the Second Division.
The name "Sten-House-Muir" means roughly "Stone House on the Moor" in scots, but "Stone House Wall" in Norwegian - and the club enjoys an unlikely support in Norway, where the Oslo-based supporter's club sponsors one of the stands at Ochilview Park.
