BankieBear Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Certainly looking good going by the meeting a few weeks ago, certainly closer now than it has ever been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Excellent news. I like the prospective new name, Faifley Knowes. It sounds like a character from one of those cult TV shows from the 60s or early 70s like Gurney Slade, The Avengers or The Prisoner. Or perhaps one from the Goon Show. Will it be 3G or 4G?

BankieBear Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 3G. Apparently 4G isn't officially recognised or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_T_Y Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Bit harsh there. I would be quite happy with something like the Petershill set up. Excellent news about the ground. What time is kick off tomorrow ? Game will be on surely !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKIEBILL Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Can't see why game won't be on tomorrow ... It's been fine all week. Harsh on Peasey ... It was first rate when it was built ... Problem with wind it being on a hill and state of the pitch now ... But that's not Peasey's fault ... It's council owned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
energyzone Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 3G. Apparently 4G isn't officially recognised or something like that 3G and 4G are the same thing, both AstroTurf. 4G is a marketing ploy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 3G and 4G are the same thing, both AstroTurf. 4G is a marketing ploy. In my experience if anything, it's actually been worse when marketed as 4G.

Black Pennel Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 "Problem with wind it being on a hill"... Sorry big Bill,...surely the clue about Petershill would be that it would be on a hill ? Hopefully the proposed new place for Clydebank will be far better than the frankly awful facility being used by the Peasies (and I really mean no disrespect whatsoever to them as a club) as it is just so soul-less. Benburb new park...looks like a fitba park. Renfrew new park...looks like a fitba park. Peasies facility...must've seemed like a good idea to someone at the time.

This was covered at the meeting aswell and the guys speaking couldn't stress enough how they want it to be a football ground, a proper one and not have the feel of peasies.

All are or will be proper football stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post RRG although I would change 'if it gets built' to 'when it gets built' You can forgive anyone for erring on the side of caution considering part of this depends on the cooperation of West Dunbartonshire Council - not exactly the most reliable of allies. The more of this which is reliant on the Bankies own steam (whether their own pockets or benevolent businessmen), the better. I smiled with interest at the following part at the bottom of the press link: Abraham believes the plans will mean a brighter future for the Bankies. He said: “Funding is hard, given the general economic climate, this would help massively. “I would certainly expect that it would put us on a sounder financial footing. “Potentially it could give us a better chance of becoming a licensed club and gaining entry into the Scottish League in the long term.” 'Veeeery interesting...'

The speed in which clubs like Renfrew and Benburb have did things has to be admired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed in which clubs like Renfrew and Benburb have did things has to be admired! I could be wrong here but have Renfrew not been talking about moving for years. I would also guess that with both Bens and Frews grounds being sold would they not have had it put into the contract about a new ground being built ASAP Unlike Rob Roy who just spent it on players to win trophys. Also Clydebank have nothing to sell. So all monies would need to be raised before work would start. Mon the Lok now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRoyGuy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Where you getting we spent it on players? Our new stadium, sevens pitches, and gym hall will be in the main funded by the Roy, the rest made up by council and sport Scotland. Your probably right when it comes to Bens and Renfrew, just seemed to me they have got the ball rolling in super quick time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
