  1. 1 hour ago, the bigger picture said:

    Problem is the fans that the guardians of the club via the EK fiasco pissed off, are hardly likely to return, no matter how hard you try. Many feel they were being bullied into a solution which nobody wanted. That has now fallen through and as you say the club are back at square one with the same folks still in charge!

    Many of the fans that walked away were original diehards not from the frozen wastes of North Lanarkshire. Any push for fans should not forget the 'motherland' as these people have/had Clyde in their hearts for generations. 

    Personally I hate Broadwood, even more so since the Colts plastic was put down...it's like watching a game down the public park...no atmosphere, souless. Another 5 years....I'd rather watch them play on the crappy grass pitch down the Green..:-o

     

     

     

     

    I'm a Cumbernauld based fan who left to go back to watch Celtic due to the constant wish of the club to leave the town. I stopped watching Celtic and got season tickets for Clyde for my son and I. I really enjoyed watching my local team despite the quite poor standard. The whole EK thing pissed me off. Cumbernauld is my town. We never had a club growing up so we followed the Old Firm.  Once we did get a club they and their fans constantly derided the town. I supported Clyde but the club has never got behind the town. Why should someone from Cumbernauld support Clyde when as looks as if they can't wait to leave the town? 

  2. Can you correct your apostrophe abuse?

    I enjoy a pint of black and tan. Seldom served in pubs these days, sadly.

    As for Britain's policy of recruiting ex squaddies and superannuated polis to batter the f**k out of legitimate democrats in Ireland with whom they had a difference of opinion? Utterly execrable and wouldn't have been tolerated on the mainland. The way we handled South Ireland's independence was shameful.

    What's your own view?

    Apostrophe ?

    Black and Tans.

    No apostrophe.

  3. Watched the clip of the widows who lost husbands in Iraq and it dawned on me that Blair should be at this do tonight. History is going to deal him a particularly unkind hand - the lying b*****d. Some if the folk they interview for these shows are the best advert you can have to realise what a shower of fuckin arseholes these Britain First morons are.

    Whilst I agree with you ,you would be extremely naive if you think it was Blair's decision and his alone.

  4. I was thinking more about the poor wee apostrophe.

    My grandfather joined The Royal Scots Fusiliers before conscription on the basis that 'It was something to do and better than being at home'. He served in France and Belgium before being shot through the hand.

    After the war he (and and a friend who was a policeman from Chapelhall) joined the Black and Tans and was in South Ireland for a couple of years before coming back and working in the pits in Lanarkshire.

    Group think? Aye sure......hence the 'pals regiments' etc etc but it isn't the full story.

    Black and Tans in South Ireland eh?

    You must be so proud.
