Background
Armadale hailed from West Lothian and were founder members of the Eastern Football Alliance in 1891. Sometime later they joined the Central League and were champions in 1914 and 1915. When Scottish Division Two was reinstated after the First World War by incorpoarting the reformed Central League, Armadale were among the new clubs to join the expanded Scottish League. After a promising start (third place in 1922) the team steadily declined , finishing rock bottom in 1928, second last in 1929. During the 1932-33 season Armadale were unable to provide match guarantees (the minimum sum to be paid to visiting teams) and were expelled after playing 17 matches and their record was expunged.
