I think we should engage with the community, maximise our income and any support we can. The club should strive to be as successful as we can. What I do dispute is the idea that Clyde can add multiple thousands to their average attendance. That's just pie in the sky. Realism is not a clichéd excuse to fail. It's about not making decisions based on unlikely or impossible hopes for the future.

Fully agree with this. At the moment kids get in for free to Broadwood. How many actually attend matches? 30-40 if that? The reason fans don't attend isn't because of our clubs lack of Cumbernauldness but because they'd rather support the old firm, play with their PlayStations or watch Man. United on Sky. We should look at teams like Livingston and Hamilton and be realistic.

Lang, Cuddihy and Rumsby played well. McStay, Grant and Rankin didn't play as well as they have been recently. We were pretty poor from middle to front. Syvertsen, I thought struggled but took his chance well. Annan the better team playing tactics straight out of Chapman's manual. I think Annan need to get padding around the pitch otherwise they'll be a serious injury. It looked to me that pushing or charging opposing players running at full pelt towards the walls were deliberate attempts to injure. Only luck prevented serious injury.

Simple solution is to have no segregation.

Hopefully the weather doesn't turn the match into a lottery.

I'm sure that the jackpot not being won is disadvantageous to the club financially. Second prize is higher and cannot be changed until the jackpot has been won.

Was that statement not made in comparing last year's results to the previous years in which we had a decent cup run that resulted better financial figures? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure it was stated at the meeting that we do not budget for a cup run.

It was a rhetorical question.

I don't think an away match against a team showing a bit of form is the time to change both our defence and formation. Our defence has been really strong in the last few games. Why change it?

The reason I want Patrick Thistle relegated is because they're Patrick Thistle. I'd want that every season irrespective of Clyde's position.

I don't dispute that you heard those figures quoted on the radio but I find it hard to believe them. £800,000 works out at over £2k a day. If those figures are correct it's no wonder boys clubs are struggling to afford pitch hire.

Lang was my man of the match. He was excellent today. Syvertsen was better than I expected in his new position but tired badly towards the end of the game. I'd still prefer him on the right wing and we try to get a striker signed if possible. We didn't create many good chances but it was a well worked goal by Grant. Cowdenbeath seemed to be settling for a goalless draw practically from the first minute. Luckily they got what they deserved, nothing!

One Clyde win in the last three against Cowdenbeath tells me it's generous. Interesting to see how we do without Goodwillie.

Agreed.

Your opinion is wrong I'm really not more cynical with the current regime. You'll see plenty of criticisms of Ferguson's time at the club of you can be bothered. Maybe you just chucked me in with the happy clappers. Clyde seem to be moving in a positive direction after years of stagnation. I welcome that. Why would any Clyde supporter not? I'm confused why you think that's relevant to what may appear to be a slightly negative opinion about our most recent signing. It's it wrong to hope a Clyde player is a success but not be confident he will be? Just because I don't share your willingness to have extreme opinions of all things Clyde doesn't mean I shouldn't post my "creosote" opinions.
