Newlandsfield is also closer to both New Tinto and McKenna Park than it is to Dunterlie. This Pollok Arthurlie derby thing is a relatively new thing. 

I would say the Pollok v Arthurlie rivalry only really got going seriously in the mid to late 1980s when Arthurlie started to regularly challenge for trophies. For example, nobody was billing the 81 Junior Cup final as a derby match.

Pollok don't really have a derby game just three or four rival games imo .

Used to love the titanic battles between pollok and petershill back in the 80s and 90s. Given both junior clubs are from glasgow was this back then billed as a 'derby' game ?

you obviously haven't got  a clue what you are talking about

As far as I'm aware no one from Pollok seen it as a big derby in the 80s and 90s

The big one in the early 90s was Pollok v Arthurlie

Petershill was just considered similar to other big Glasgow teams at that time, a big game against a Glasgow side,

Excuse me?? 

It's my opinion pollok arthurlie is not a derby game it's not close enough they are big rivals that's it. 

A previous poster made the perfect example nottingham forest derby is notts forest but the big rivals are derby just along the road. 

The Pollok Petershill thing was massive in those decades whether or not Arthurlie were about or not.

I merely asked the question i didn't state it was a derby game just asking a petershill fan how it was viewed back then from his point of view and you come steaming in through your weight about 😆

it wasn't considered a derby game with petershill, only considered a big game against a strong rival cause they were strong in the 90s, no fans considered Pollok v Petershill as a derby
Arthurlie is local, lot closer than petershill and in the early 90s the main derby was Arthurlie vs Pollok, with Benburb v Pollok a derby all be it a lower quality.
You know how many inaccuracies are on here and I don't mind when one is out there even if its their view Ill easily state as much


Think im quite fit, very powerful and quite dainty so no weight being steaming in

Is there really that much of a difference in distance from Newlandsfield to Barrhead/Springburn?

Much closer to Rutherglen, and we're in the same league as Pollok, unlike Arthurlie and Petershill.

Better get some players in rather than looking at a Sat Nav.
