the bigger picture

Having decided years ago to only attend the odd game as I personally have no faith in those who are guardians of this so called supporters owned club, I ventured out yesterday with my boy wearing the Generations shirt proudly. We shouldn't have bothered! The team have a fantastic forward in Peter McDonald but the defence is as woeful as the last time I visited. Cost of watching football at the bottom end including a programme ( bit cheeky to charge full price for a reduced version) and refreshments over £30. At that cost I'm not surprised crowds are dwindling. I fully understand the guy who has had enough. If you are content to follow a club who have found their level in the bottom league as someone else said, then you can only expect to have a crowd base on par with East Stirling. You can blame the manager for the team performance, but the state of the club is entirely in the hands of those appointed to run the clubs affairs. The name change started the decline in the support with the we are leaving/ we are not leaving Broadwood sagas compounding it. Sadly I don't see this grand old club being around for much longer as it is being driven into the ground intentionally or unintentionally. if you want people attend, you have to give them a reason to.....at the moment in my opinion there doesn't seem to be one.

Does this mean the club might be able to purchase and send out the tops paid for 6 months ago?!! (We live in hope)

Sorry I didn't realise you are not allowed to criticise the commiseriat's decisions on all things ground wise. I only post when I think some other view than the 'party' line needs to be heard, or is everything that comes out of the guardians mouths the gospel truth, just like vote EK or die.. And for the record....it wisnae me on Twitter.

Problem is the fans that the guardians of the club via the EK fiasco pissed off, are hardly likely to return, no matter how hard you try. Many feel they were being bullied into a solution which nobody wanted. That has now fallen through and as you say the club are back at square one with the same folks still in charge! Many of the fans that walked away were original diehards not from the frozen wastes of North Lanarkshire. Any push for fans should not forget the 'motherland' as these people have/had Clyde in their hearts for generations. Personally I hate Broadwood, even more so since the Colts plastic was put down...it's like watching a game down the public park...no atmosphere, souless. Another 5 years....I'd rather watch them play on the crappy grass pitch down the Green..:-o
