The club was founded in 1928 and plays at [Christie Park](/source/Christie_Park%2C_Huntly) in [Huntly](/source/Huntly). ==History== Huntly F.C. was formed in 1928. They were unanimously accepted to the [Highland League](/source/Highland_Football_League) at the league's AGM in June 1928. The club entered the league in season 1928–29 and the first game was against [Inverness Thistle](/source/Inverness_Thistle_F.C.) on Saturday 25 August 1928. In only its second league campaign, Huntly became only the third team outside Inverness to win the league, finishing two points ahead of closest rivals [Elgin City](/source/Elgin_City_F.C.) and Inverness Thistle. However, the club would have to wait 64 years for another championship win and to many supporters the greatest moment in the club's history.{{cite web|url=http://www.huntlyfc.co.uk/index.php/info/club-history/read-about-our-history|title=A look back over the years|publisher=Huntly Football Club|access-date=20 February 2017|archive-date=5 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705025448/https://huntlyfc.co.uk/index.php/info/club-history/read-about-our-history|url-status=dead}} The club then won the Highland League in a record five successive seasons between 1993 and 1998. In December 1975 the Referee's Committee of the [Scottish Football Association](/source/Scottish_Football_Association) ordered the closure of Christie Park for two months following an incident in which a referee was knocked to the ground by a supporter making his way home across the pitch after a match. The club were also fined £100 and ordered to have Police on duty at all future matches. In January 2008 Huntly reached the 4th Round proper of the Scottish Cup following victories against [Fraserburgh](/source/Fraserburgh), [Annan Athletic](/source/Annan_Athletic_F.C.) and [Culter](/source/Culter_F.C.), and although drawn at home to Division 1 team [Dundee](/source/Dundee_F.C.), they eventually lost 1–3.{{Cite web |url=http://www.statto.com/football/teams/huntly/2007-2008/results |title=Huntly 2007-2008 Results - statto.com |access-date=21 November 2011 |archive-date=26 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926073458/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/huntly/2007-2008/results |url-status=live }} In September 2009, the club became part of a [match fixing](/source/match_fixing) probe after a 7–0 win against (then) [East of Scotland](/source/East_of_Scotland_Football_League) side [Hawick Royal Albert](/source/Hawick_Royal_Albert_F.C.) in a [Scottish Cup](/source/Scottish_Cup) tie. Suspicions arose due to alleged irregular betting patterns surrounding the final score and the awarding of a penalty to Huntly during the game.[https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/south_of_scotland/8280038.stm Cup match-fixing probe launched], [BBC](/source/BBC), retrieved 29 September 2009.
