Hi , Sorry that this happened and I am ashamed if anyone did say this to you. I’d like yourself and your grandson to come along as my guest to a match of your choice and I Will give you guys a tour , meet the players and watch the game from the hospitality area and a few beers. Since I have been in charge we are trying to move forward and I hope you accept this invitation. Any furthers questions please ask. Kind Regards David Kerr Chairman CRFC

Hi The Bairns, Thank you for your input . To clarify we are in no way a toxic club as you suggest . If you want some figures - go on this then we have sold 160 strips in 2 days now I may be wrong here but I would suggest that in the many years since you hung up your overalls at The Hoover we haven’t sold that many strips . We sold 8 last season . Have we touched on an old design of a Rangers Strip -yes but it means that the club can now go and buy a new tractor. So for me it was a worthwhile campaign . When the hoover factory Sadly closed and many good local people lost jobs it meant that CRFC lost a huge amount of footfall both attending matches and visiting our social club . I believe 10,000 people were employed there at 1 time. Which has hit the club hard and has never fully recovered from this closure. I am happy for yourself and a friend to come along to a match next season and see the good work that is being done in the community and our fantasy academy. Hopefully we can change your opinion. Kind Regards David Chairman

I think it was 5 0 actually lol you gave us a right doing. I’m sure Lafferty that plays with us now scored a good few that day. Thanks for the nice comments mate.

Sometimes it is better to say nothing . Yes we are doing up our office with donations ie people giving us things ie old desks and chairs and a local shop Is giving us paint. It has not had any work done on it in approx 30 years - it badly needs done. If you are a fan as you say you are you would know that the concrete on the terracing is crumbling in areas and has never even been redone. We again are doing this ourselves. i thought I’d heard it all to be honest but coming on and moaning that we are trying to improve facilities is a first. David

Hi Archie, Thanks for the post. I Wouldn’t normally come on here but it’s the only way to update some people. Regarding the management team. We are happy with the management team . It’s been a difficult season but I think I it’s hard starting from scratch like we did 18 months ago . Hopefully we can stay in the league this season. Regarding the Nivens I can’t really comment to much on that but the club is clear that it does not anyone any money. The club is now debt free - which is very different from when we as a committee started Jan 19. Regarding turmoil - it’s been a very difficult period but I’m sure the club will come out the other side stronger and continue to represent the community for a long time yet. To reply to the other poster . We are considering our options in regards to league set up and a committee decision will be made in the next week . Hope that answers your questions chaps. David Kerr Chairman

Get well soon Kris. Great lad and great player.

I am a fan . Lewis Kinnaird our left back was subjected to being called a dirty *********** as he left the pitch . For the record Lewis isn’t and has a season ticket at parkhead . But regardless it’s wrong and I’m sure lessons will be learned on both sides.

I’m sure Billy Campbell and Lewis Kinnaird would tell you differently . Why would I make that up? As I said it’s a small minority but it doesn’t make it acceptable.

You weren’t there . How can you even comment on it? It’s not my issue whether Clydebank deal with it - that is is upto them . The west region have to deal with and I am fairly certain Mr Bamford should be dismissed or resign. Our management team were subject of constant abuse throughout the game “orange b*****ds “”I’m gonna shag your daughter “ just 2 of the many disgusting shouts . Now I know the majority of bankies fans are good people but let’s be honest if people are shouting things like that you are going to react . There is certainly a small element of your fan base that ruin your good reputation. Amyway it’s done now we move on .

Bankies fans seem happy to talk nonsense about our management team( even though the Clydebank physio attacked 1 of our players) but not discuss Mr Bamfords actions . strange that.

Merely stating facts . 4 people left . 3 of which had been on the committee for less than 5 years collectively. Mr miller (ex chairman) is the only 1 of note who left - so your point is not a great 1 tbh.

The previous chairman left as he has cancer . The clubs new sponsor Planzed - John and Nikki Niven have helped take the club to this level with a great level of investment. Also nice to see viewparker like this post - I am not surprised.

My money launder specs? Really? Mr Bamford accepted his actions caused the second altercation. You seem to know a lot about us for someone who doesn’t go to our games.

Your physio assaulted Jack Breslin. The situation had settled and Mr Bamford caused the trouble to reignite this. All the best.

The fight was caused by the person on the Clydebank bench grabbing our player which resulted in a large altercation. Once this was settled and a good match brought to a close which Clydebank shaded there was another incident at the tunnel which was caused by the president of the west region a Mr Matt Bamford who grabbed one of our coaching staff by the neck - leading to a large altercation. Mr Bamford at first denied the incident but then realised his grave mistake . Mr Bamford apologised and was very remorseful after the match . However if any of our management staff done this To Mr Bamford they would face a lengthy ban . So what will the repercussions be for Mr Bamford? Surely his position has to be under threat ? So before you guys come on here I think it’s quite important that you have all the facts . On the field Clydebank worked like dogs and I can see them going on to have a very successful season and I wish them all the best.

Breslin , Faulds and kinnaird have all done well imo . Simeon a hard 1 to replace but he wanted to go so not much club could have done differently. We are playing at a much higher standard now and we haven’t been at it of late but I’m sure the boys will turn it around soon .

A horrendous refereeing display . A good tackle = a red card . The captain said that was a soft red card and was shown a second yellow . I just hope things balance themselves out.

Be interesting to see who gets it . I know the pie man and noddy where out together last night. Darvel should be doing better.

They only lost once at home to Talbot last season apparently so we are very happy. Largs and Lang have more than competed this season.

Enjoyed my visit to a Kilbirnie. Nice wee ground with passionate fans. Thought we deserved it in second half but not many teams will win down there.

Well obviously lesson learned as I said it's not the norm and the gaffer has apologised as we all agree it's not the time nor the place for such things I was at wishaw game last season and the songs were on . To be fair it works so got to get on with it if it helps bring people in .

Good luck to all at Darvel . Good to see them speculating with some very good signings. The best performance I saw last season was them when they battered us 4 0 . Good club and nice people . All the best.

I don't know about what Peasy had to offer, but we don't pay even remotely close to what Cambuslang are rumoured to offer. I think we both know now that is false don’t we.
