An Ayrshire football team has been left homeless amid claims they were 'forced out' of their local community sports club.
Amatuer side Irvine AFC say they have been left with no pitch to play or train on following a special AGM at Irvine sports club last night.
A statement posted on Irvine AFC's Facebook page this afternoon claimed their park at the club will be turned into a hockey pitch.
It read: "After a special AGM called at Irvine sports club last night, we now find ourselves homeless with no pitch to play or train on.
"Four-and-a-bit years of treating the place in the best possible way to now be forced out of the club and one of the best football parks in the west of Scotland, will now be turned into a hockey pitch.
"As a community team based in Irvine providing football for local players all over Ayrshire, we are saddened at the decision by the "Community" sports club to leave us with nowhere to play or train.
"A sad day for football in Irvine."
The club now face a race against time to find a new home ahead of the Ayrshire amateur football season kicking off on Saturday, August 7.
Irvine Community Sports Club has been contacted for comment.
