Another picture from the game: What was the plan when Clyde vacated Shawfield? I vaguely remember East Kilbride being touted at some point, but was Cumbernauld established as the destination by the time they left Glasgow? There was obviously a fair bit of exile in between. I've learnt stuff here about Falkirk and St Johnstone leaving their grounds. What the Hell was it like with Clyde, given the uncertainty and complete uprooting that necessarily followed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrucerick Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Paul McStay and John Sludden at Celtic. John was part of my favourite Ayr team, possibly until now. Not sure what happened when he left us mind you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't leave Shawfield voluntarily, but you probably knew that. In my recall, they initially had no plan to go to Cumbernauld, and it was after several years of homelessness that idea was introduced. They did have the chance to buy Shawfield while still tenants, but couldn't afford the relatively small price tag. In any case, the ground also had a number of maintenance issues which would have added to costs. A Clyde fan may correct what I've written. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to know about what happened, but am ashamed to say I know next to nothing about it. Did they ever own Shawfield? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking strip that by the way, one of my favourite Celtic away shirts of all time. Some dipstick has actually cut out the Airdrie player from the photo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were there first and took in tenants for the rent, but had to sell to the tenant in 1935. 8 hours ago, Ranaldo Bairn said: Some dipstick has actually cut out the Airdrie player from the photo.

Can see why you think that but you can still see the red sock and part of the leg of the Airdrie player that's been removed.

Probably easier to tell us which set of fans is setting the flare off. PS, this type of picture is a great indication of the times. No need for police or pavement dancing.
