Forres Mechanics Football Club

Forres Mechanics Football Club play at Mosset Park, which is a short walk from the town centre, and are members of the Highland Football League. 


The current spectator capacity of Mosset Park is 2,700. However the record attendance for the ground is 7,000 when the Mechanics lost 0-5 at home to Celtic in the Scottish Cup in 1957. 
The main grandstand has seating for 502 spectators. 

The whole ground was moved a short distance southwards - approximately the width of the pitch - when the A96 road was re-routed around the town of Forres, and the old main stand, which was then the biggest in the Highland League was demolished. The ground is owned by Moray Council who rent it to the football club for £4,500 per year.
