Is there potential for Clyde to Groundshare with the likes of Pollock or Maryhill juniors? Or is that completely unrealistic?

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.

Floodlights are installed, finished yesterday I believe.

From my limited knowledge they have invested quite a bit into the player budget in the last year or two as they are concentrating on league position. I dare say if / when they get up the league's, the improvements will follow!

Still don't fancy it as a groundshare right enough.

It’s two trains and it takes nearly an hour and a half.

I’d imagine the club would run a bus to home games.

It’s one train from Greenfaulds/ Cumbernauld to Hamilton West takes about 25 minutes. Coming  from Hamilton myself I have used it many times.

Only while they are doing redevelopment, by the looks of it. Be much easier by the time we actually play there, about forty minutes from Cumbernauld. Unless you were looking at Croy, much longer from there.

There is only a limited bus service to Cumbernauld train station and no buses to Greenfaulds. Then you've got about 2 miles to cover in Hamilton to get to the ground. Its doable but you're looking at the best part of 2 hours to get there and the same coming back plus train and bus fares.

The stadium is less than a 5 minute walk from Hamilton West.

Broadwood is the only home I've known for Clyde and gutted to be leaving it. A lot of memories there good and bad.

Can fully understand why the older fans viewed Shawfield the same and didn't have as much affinity with Broadwood.

Although I think we all expected a move away from Broadwood, given recent statements from the club and council, it does seem rather sudden. It is pretty sad that the last game will be a low key affair. The late notice of it means a bumper crowd is unlikely and I know of some fans that are gutted to be missing the game due to work etc.

I just hope the board have put a lot of thought into this move and have something positive to share in regard to finding a permanent home in Glasgow.

From what I hear we will be saving 40% on rental at NDP. Maybe better to just cut ties with Broadwood and add that money to the player budget will help, not cutting ties we will only be delaying the inevitable.

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.

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..
