Yer pub’s shite!” Evicted for dug racing and now evicted for idolising rapists. A new low. Fair enough..however, I still believe that trying to sustain a Championship budget with junior attendances like Queens Park will be interesting to watch. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Aye Clyde making out it’s their choice when they were told in February they would be getting kicked out is a strange one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the decision to leave early isn't part of any stupid bid to re-sign Goodwillie, but even if it isn't, the uncertainty for the next few years is a worry. I think a new stadium in Glasgow could be successful... but no idea where we would find the money to build one and no council is ever going to help us out ever again. I hardly think the Council have ever helped us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the club's choice to move a year before we needed to. Not sure if they think they're better to get closer to Glasgow, it's a case of cutting our noses off to spite our face or the worrying prospect of wanting to bring back DGW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannibal Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Let's face it, those who were willing to move us to any old shithole as long as it wasn't cumbernauld, even if it meant changing the club's name will now get their way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Ultimately, a three to five year lease at Hamilton is a more secure, short-term, option than the club currently had from NLC. Whilst the DGW situation sped the process up, there has been several occasions over the past twenty years where we’ve heard that Clyde are planning to leave or NLC were planning to chuck us out. The change has been required for quite some time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Even in short term this sounds better deal, office space a club shop that is actually open etc 3-5 year agreement . Certainly more secure than the NNL ultimatum. Sometimes opportunities have to be seized upon when they are presented be that expected or not, I for one see this as a potential positive opportunity unlike the stagnant slow death we were under at Broadwood, a situation where, as a club we were at the highest position (and that is woeful) we could ever achieve given the financial constraints and the millstone of never being able to income generate whilst a tenant of NLC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Burton Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Sad we will be leaving Broadwood. Its the only home ground I've known supporting Clyde. From Here the Dream Begins to leaving 28 years later with neither tenant or landlord got a good word to say about each other, it's a sad state of affairs. Cumbernauld should have been a fresh start but the club has made a mess of that. Can only hope lessons have been learned.I do worry that we have rushed through the groundshare with Hamilton. It's pretty awkward to get to from Cumbernauld or Glasgow.Of even bigger concern will be how long we will be grounsharing. We've been looking at locations in and around Glasgow for the last 10 years and have not found anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MacLean Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Can't see this having a happy ending which does genuinely pain me. A return to Glasgow doesn't seem viable. What venue is there that wouldn't require refurbishment? What community is there looking for a team? Clyde have surely been away from Rutherglen for too long to still have roots there even if a return were possible. With Scottish football in the process if realigning itself with the potential of ambitious, cash rich, clubs joining the SPFL over the next decade or so I can see a slow slip into Lowland League obscurity. A bit like East Stirling playing in front of dozens and not hundreds at the Falkirk Stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
