This Saturday's scheduled match away to Newmains JFC has been postponed due to asbestos being found in the clubhouse at Victoria Park

Holm Park will not be ready in time, there is a possibility it will be switched to Wishaw

You are correct the new management team only joined in January and became the third management team of the season. They are rebuilding the team and will be in place for next season to continue the job. The also have never had the opportunity to play at Holm Park as the refurbishment started in January. Playing all our games effectively away from home undoubtedly didn't help our season but hopefully the return to Holm Park will give us a much better opportunity next season. I must also add congratulations to Shettleston who won the matches at the end when it mattered.

Looks like you have already had a right good drink, you clearly just come onto this forum to wind people up going by some of your previous posts and your forum reputation. If we go down we go down and will wish all the best to the teams that didn't. At least have the balls to name your team instead of hiding behind "Scotland".
