Craig fae the Vale Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Good plan to try and entice some locals in. Would be nice to see them pick up a fanbase 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I can see Edusport carving a niche of drawing in Hamilton/Motherwell fans when said clubs are either away or not playing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Very smart move by the club imo, they have to build a fanbase now they have a proper home and this is a good way to start it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm quite tempted by this myself. The new ground is only 45 mins or so from me, which isn't too bad really. I'm sure I will manage to make the four games across a season which would justify the cost of this. Great offer, well played Edusport! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Good to see them have their own ground. If they do do change names then I really hope they go for one that incorporates the local area and certainly not featuring Glasgow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do do change names then I really hope they go for one that incorporates the local area and certainly not featuring Glasgow "Strathclyde" would be good in their name, they're in the only place in the region genuinely associated with the word. Nice wee ground in a reasonable location, covered seating, great pricing, and a genuine attempt to build a local fanbase. I used to have a sneaky dig at Edusport (and I suppose by implication at the LL) because they weren't a "real" club. I guess that's that finished then. All I need is BSC to move into Scotstoun or someplace and I'll be left with nothing to moan about. I'm almost disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Fair play to Edusport (or whatever they are/will be called), they’ve made a lot of us eat our words. I just hope they continue on this journey and finally settle into being an acceptable wee team with a decent local backing. A new change to Strathclyde or Lanarkshire something would just top things off nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It's looking not too bad really. The stadium name has really grown on me. Excellent value for anyone just looking for a football fix, Guess they hope that a few will buy into it, thinking ‘f**k it £25, I go to a few games as a neutral anyway, might as well make that a regular ground’ hope that after a few games it becomes ‘well I’ve paid for it anyway, might as well get the value’ and attend a 10 games + Get a season ticket the following year and they get used to the habit, they start keeping an eye out for signings, maybe they start to enjoy the journey of the young french kids coming into the side, they still consider themselves an interested neutral... and suddenly they find themselves shouting YASS after a late winner... Their hooked for the next 50 years. On another note their the reply to calling them a plastic club is cliche fantastic. “Our club is made up of people mate. Good people. Football people. People with drive and passion. People who love the game and challenge themselves and those around them to be better. People who thrive on challenges and laugh in the face of negativity” If that’s not above the home dressing room door then something isn’t right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only ICT thought the same when they were formed, instead of ripping off the little support they held on to from day 1. Only recently have they started reaching out to the youngsters and thought about creating a ‘real’ fanbase 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It's a positive move by Eurosport to engage with a potential fan base. Would love to see them improve their social media presence as well and inform properly on their website what is happening with the playing side of the club eg 1st team squad details, signings and departures, match stats and reports etc. This may already be happening behind a pay wall but not something I will ever find out about as I'm not about to become a member. To be honest for a club who have ambitions to progress I can't imagine a business model without plans for a proper social media presence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Still not a fan of their presence at this level of football, it remains an embarrassment in my eyes and I hope that they eventually start to move downwards as the Pyramid opens up. What they have built for next season should have been in place before they were even entertained for a licence, the trips to Annan ripped the piss out of it IMO. I doubt they will draw much of a support to replace the curious onlookers that turned up in Annan. Where are all these paying internet members, do they ever go to games? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 First game at the new ground seems to be v Gretna on 31 July. I think I'll be taking this one in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So it's still Edusport Academy as the name for 2919/20, unless they do a very late name change 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
