cowdenbeath Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Aye but it's not covered mate Take it this is a reply to my post about Lesser Hampden. Part of its covered not much mind you, at least with the 3G they would have no problems getting games played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpek Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Correct cowdenbeath they played a couple of friendlies there it would be ideal but I'm sure the Bsc guys will have looked into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just had a look at a picture and none of the seats are covered by the wee cover over the old pavilion! Didn't they also play a south cup tie there a few months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Lesser Hampden used to have a larger shed along the front of the farmhouse, with frame / bench seats inside, and 2 blocks in front and to the right. At some point a few years ago the shed was considerably truncated. Following the Commonwealth Games rebuild it was considerably altered, now sporting about 450 uncovered individual seats. It was used by BSCG for a relocated South Challenge Cup tie v Lochar Thistle a few months ago. However that cup doesn't require a licensed ground.

tamthebam Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm surprised the masses haven't been onto this. So what's the crack now then given you got into league on basis of sharing lochburn ? The Juniors have had similar problems, Newky, so it would be hypocritical to comment on another's misfortune.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear no foe Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Lesser Hampden would be a decent wee ground for BSC. Kinda defeats the purpose of being called broomhill sports club if your gonna play on the south side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsPhil Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I attended the BSC v Lochar cup game that was played at Lesser Hampden. I afterwards suggested on here that BSC should consider the reliable plastic there as a better home than the notoriously poor drainer at Maryhill. The answer was that it's not possible since Lesser Hampden isn't licensed. So what's the venue for Tuesday 3rd May's last BSC home game of the season going to be? (vs University of Stirling, league fixture). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Kinda defeats the purpose of being called broomhill sports club if your gonna play on the south side Happens a lot - Partick Thistle don't play in Partick ,Grimsby Town don't play in Grimsby and Bolton Wanderers don't play in Bolton. I was just thinking where about in Glasgow they could play Lesser and Benburb both sprung to mind as their 3G which would be better in their situation, although Benburb doesn't have a roof either.

calmac25 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Maybe they'll be heading back to Ashfield after all the work that has been done there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The pitch would still be too narrow. Looks like they made the same bad move Clydebank did in Duntocher by sinking money into building another club's ground up to scratch when they didn't have long-term security of tenancy.

Yeah, get that mate. Gibraltar don't play in Gibraltar either. However they are only a couple of years old as an adult side anyway, they are still building in terms of fan base, don't think it be wise for them to at the very least not play in the west end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Kick-off time is rather unorthodox, but they have already played home games at Lesser Hampden and East Kilbride this season. Last season they again played their concluding home games at a variety of venues including East Kilbride and Galashiels, another long-haul, IIRC.

LongTimeLurker Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 So sounds like they are not getting booted out of Maryhill's ground, because their tenancy agreement only runs to the normal end of the LL season given junior clubs often have to play three games in a week at this time of year to clear fixture backlogs.
