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. The ever reliable transfer markt has his contract expiry at Ayr as May 22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 As I posted on social media. So that is that. The only reason I started supporting Clyde was because they were my local team. Whole family supports Rangers and f**k that. Used to live in a house in Eastfield, where behind the house was a hill you could see the floodlights and I always was interested in what was going on. Badgered my folks to take me and that’s what they did. By the time I was 12, I was going onto the supporters bus and to away games. There, I would meet the most magnificent people I could ever wish to meet, and to this day, I call the closest of friends. About 90% of my friends are from going to Clyde, and they are of the best people I’ve ever met. Absolute gems, everyone of them. Not just Clyde we have in common, but we all look after each other in every way of life. Friends for life, and that is something that can never be replaced. We have lost more times than I care to remember, but we have had some magnificent days at Broadwood as well. As much as I think it’s the right decision and how much I hate the place in general, it’s the only ground I’ve ever called home. I won’t forget it, but life goes on. “No matter where we move to, we will always follow Clyde ” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Pleased to see Clyde move. NDP is easier and closer to get to, Broadwood is a soulless freezing shithole IMO and I might actually get to witness QoS win a game at NDP next season. For the love of god please don't re-sign the rapist, so I can attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Have to wonder what the executive club and castlemilk branch have been watching to both give Rumsby player of the year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions but I have always liked Rumsby and to be perfectly honest I’m not sure given how poor we are I’m not sure if anyone else would have a shout. I expect I will be in a minority here but he has been a bit of an unfair scapegoat like McNiff was in previous years. Not saying he should be re signed in fact I’ve said before I’m not convinced any deserve to be, such is the huge job ahead. Lennon has to be supremely ruthless and no untried youngsters who get a gig because they played for a premier club for a few years in youth teams this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Should be a clean sweep for Splaine, at least he's picked up the players' one. The most important retention for us this close season so I hope he fancies sticking around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New award category for next season, 'the least worse player of the year' Rumsby can't be faulted for effort generally, but he gets bullied week after week and his ball skills are maybe the poorest I've seen at Clyde ever.

foreverarover Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 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. It's far easier for the Rutherglen based support to get to Hamilton though. A couple of stops in the train. Makes sense and I'd expect Hamilton will be skint with no more money from thier big English cash cow players on transfers. That and the lowering of money on being relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 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.It's still nothing more than Clyde have. If pollok were to sell that ground it would make millions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a chance to do that years ago when Safeway (now Morrisons) tried to buy it and would have built them a new ground close by. Effectively a swap around of the Newlandsfield / Morrisons set up today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Quitely Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 A bit off-topic here but has anyone with good Clyde connections any knowledge of a 'representative' of Dumbarton FC recently making enquiries about Broadwood Stadium ?

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. Plus the excess land was sold for building flats which probably funded the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
