Clyde FC; Season 2022-23


Recommended Posts

They sacked him, then went out of their way to print that glowing eulogy before sending an official delegation to his funeral.  Seriously, away & gie's peace.
The difference is that nobody in charge at Thistle back then has anything to do with the club any more. If we're going by historic transgressions there's probably not a club in the country one could morally support. The events Clyde fans are taken to task about however are still wet ink.

Pollok have no seats or floodlights, no car park and recently brought in a portable toilet as their facilities consisted of pissing behind the covered enclosure. Really poor considering their crowds.   Essentially they've invested nothing in the way of improvement to their ground for yonks and this will hold them back if they want to follow the likes of Bonnyrigg up the pyramid. I believe they have plans for floodlights and their pie stall is absolutely outstanding. But that's it.

The toilets are licence compliant whatever your view on them. 

As for no lights...

Excellent about the floodlights. The pre-portakabin "toilets" are a bit embarrassing for a club getting 600 plus every week.

The whole idea is to have a home of our own.

The new community stadium in Kirkintilloch is due for completion in Sept,  you Would think that Clyde would be interested in that complex if the lease was available,  no chance a Junior side could run the facility themselves..

I've just came across the story of Clyde FC being thrown out of Broadwood by the North Lanarkshire Council, I find this odd as the press are running the line that it's over David Goodwillie, surely there must be some other reason for the Council doing this as they will now be landed with the stadium and no income but costs in maintaining it, a drain on the public purse which won't go down well with the present rising costs and excessive council rates.

So what is the real story here?

How has Nick McAllister done for you guys?
I think he's still contracted with us for next season, and I expect us to come down via the play-offs, so chances are he'll be with us in this league.

I'm not surprised he's struggled in the Championship. He's a strange one in that he obviously makes us better because he's got a bit of pace, strength and likes to compete. However, technically, he's just not quite there. That said, we'd 100% keep him if Ayr want rid. Hopefully you stay up.

Of course, he might be a brilliant right-back but we've played him everywhere except there.

Has been decent for us atheltic, a bit of pace and versatile. Would be keen for us to keep him but wouldn't be surprised if he has better offers. I think his best position is supposed to be right back but we've played him in midfield and lately centre half.

Pretty sure it's a greenfield site.  That's why they couldn't build houses on it despite the reported plans in 86.  So can only be used for "leisure".  The surrounding redevelopment is earmarked for a mix of industry & leisure.  Progress is slow because of the state of the economy, it's like the 70's all over again, so if they're struggling to sell the land already prepared for that purpose, no reason to think they'd be rushing to apply the same to that land.  

As I said earlier, the overall developers spoke with the current owner around 8 years ago, and it was with a view to demolish and rebuild the stadium, not housing or industry.  Course they've just had to spend even more money cleaning up the back of the old Arnold Clark lot because they thought they'd managed to get rid of the contamination in the underground burn there that flows into Richmond Park, but when they double checked more recently, realised they'd still a lot of work to do. 

They could use an eyesore getting removed and something new going up in its place to at least present that there is some level of progress happening.  Clyde building it could certainly tick a box for them

AFC Wimbledon have taken a moribund dog track and turned it into a smart stadium not far from their traditional home. 

The traditionalist in me would welcome a return to Shawfield for Clyde as I think the dug racing will be finished in a decade or two but AFC were fortunate in that the English League is awash with money and had better access to funds than the Bully Wee might.
