Division Two. Abercorn won the lower championship in 1908–09, but were not promoted to Division One. They also failed to be elected to Division One after finishing as runners-up in 1911–12. The following season the club won the Scottish Qualifying Cup; during their run in this competition the club got its record attendance when 7,000 spectators attended the semi-final match with Nithsdale Wanderers. The club dropped out of the Scottish Football League in 1915, when Division Two went into abeyance. They played in the Western League from 1915–16 until 1919–20, when their lease on their New Ralston ground was ended at the behest of the local town council. This was ostensibly in order to build an Ice Rink, which did not happen for another four years. It was long accused that St Mirren had used their connections with Paisley Town Council to kill off their rival. Unable to secure another ground within the town, this effectively spelled the end of Abercorn. Despite not being entered in any league competition they played one game in season 1920–21 with effectively a scratch team in a Scottish Cup defeat away to Vale of Leven.

In season 2009–10, 90 years after the original club disappeared, a new club was formed under the Abercorn name in Paisley. The new club has had a marked lack of success, however. In its inaugural 18-game season, it lost all its matches. Ground Their home matches were initially played at East Park on the corner of Seedhill Road and Mill Street, before moving onto Blackstoun Park in Well Street in 1879. In 1889 they moved 200 yards to Underwood Park, where they remained until an 1899 move to Old Ralston Park in East Lane in the Williamsburgh area of Paisley which was 700 yards from their first ground at East Park. In 1909 the club moved to a site directly to the west of Old Ralston Park;
