Spyro Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 How are you getting on with the pitch situation? Has that settled down a bit? Sorry I’m not in the loop at all... Also with Edusport finally settling down just along the road, is there any talk of being a feeder club in any way. Could be a good opportunity if you play it right. As a secret Jambo, I remember half our team were born in Bellshill back in the day, seems mad that you guys aren’t right up there in the junior ranks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellshill was always football-central when I grew up in the east, now I’m just along the road, I'd love it if you found your place back where you belong again Edited June 6, 2019 by Spyro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils4Oyarder Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 A lot of that was down to Bellshill Maternity Hospital being the main birthplace of most of Lanrkshire and parts of Glasgow...however, there have been many bona fide Bellshill boys, who have made their name in fitba at all levels, from Legends, World Class, Senior Scottish level, down to boys in the Juniors. The Juniors have had a real hard time of it for years now, and that can primarily be put down to the loss of their own ground to a housing developer who managed to get his hands on it, which in turn lead to years of being footballing nomads, which ultimately lead to a loss of support that they've never been able to re-gather despite being back in the town for a few years now.. The current committee are doing well to keep the Club going if you ask me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Good to hear, I did wonder if it was down to a big maternity hospital tbh Hopefully one of the committee can get in touch with the guys at Edusport and come to some sort of arrangement. Maybe run as a feeder/reserve team as there must only be a few miles between you both now. Nothing to be wary of, it’s something that’ll work for both clubs and help the young lads in the area that are currently missing out while you all find your feet again -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you read the Edusport thread in the lowland league section, for once a team who look like they are genuinely trying to turn a corner and reach out to the local community. They’ve made a lot of us eat our words and fair play to them. If you are happy to go it alone, fair enough, but why disregard an opportunity when it’s landed right on your doorstep... -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The clean living guy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Was there not talk of Bellshill moving to bothwellhaugh during the nomadic period? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils4Oyarder Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Aye there was, not sure how far the discussions went, but if they are struggling to get folk through the gates in Bellshill itself, they'd have even more difficulty at Bothwellhaugh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The clean living guy Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Was over season before last when Bellshill played Gartcairn. Didn't think it was that bad a crowd. Playing out side of the town wouldn't be any use though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in discussions with them and other people on a plan to help the club re-establish itself within the town and as a proper community club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21stcenturyboy Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 In my humble opinion Edusports should be the feeder club for Bellshill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a reason why you are where you are with the backwards attitude shown by certain people above dont see why it would help both clubs and thats just an opinion....I may be wrong but do Bellshill not have teams all through the age groups up to 19s?....seems they are on the right road after many years away from the town so dont see the need for them to gamble on something that could undo all their great work.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a club we have strived to return to the community and re-establish ourselves within the community BUT 10 years out of the town have taken it's toll in many aspects and the current committee, who work their socks off to keep the club going. Hopefully the plans that are being discussed with various potential partners will come to fuition to see the club continue it's Academy structure development and a sustainable future for the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
