Midfielder Gary has been with the club for 17 years and continues his relationship with the club after joined the coaching staff this summer. To mark his commitment to the Whe Ho, Yoker Legends will take on Clydebank Legends at Holm Park Gary joined the club in 2004 after leaving the very successful Goldenhill BC at U21 level. Gary stuck with the Whe Ho through relegation and promotion teams and is long overdue this special day.

Holm Park is now closed for the foreseeable future, Yoker had cancelled all training at the start of this week and will review the situation on a regular basis.

Today's match away to Forth Wanderers has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Yoker will now play Ardeer Thistle away on Saturday due to our intended opponents facing a replay in the Scottish Cup.

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".

Today's match against Wishaw has been postponed www.yokerathletic.com

The covered stand is being addressed as a priority by HPCFA, the options are to strip back and repair with a slightly different shape or remove and replace altogether.

We are pleased to confirm that work has started today to on the redevelopment of Holm Park . The first phase of the development will see a new 3G pitch, Floodlights and new and improved boundary fencing. This work is due to be completed by early summer of 2019. We would like to thank West Dunbartonshire Council in supporting these improvements for the benefit of the local community. Yoker's next game is on Saturday 26th January against Royal Albert at Tilework Park. We would also like to thank Kennie Young and Royal Albert for supporting the change of fixture which was due to be played at Holm Park. An announcement will be made shortly on the where Yoker will play their remaining home matches while redevelopment work is ongoing at Holm Park. http://www.yokerathletic.com/community_stadium.html

The pitch was soft but perfectly playable in my opinion, there was no surface water and only light rain forecast during the day. The referee arrived 45mins before kick-off and proceeded to bounce the ball all over the park for 15 minutes before calling the game off. The unfortunate side effect is that this was very costly and time consuming for both teams who have it all to do again in March. As a side note I would like to thank Lugar for their excellent hospitality which they hastily rearranged before we made our trip back to Yoker.

Match versus Maryhill postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. www.yokerathletic.com

Stevie Frew retired from the club at the end of last season but still continues to sponsor indeed providing a set of new strips that you saw yesterday. In terms of the committee perhaps, it's time they stepped aside and let someone else take the club forward. Unfortunately, I doubt there will be a queue of applicants for those particular posts.

The new management team inherited a team that lost several players from last season but have done well to bring in new faces. The issue on Saturday was Yoker had 10 players missing from the squad due to injuries and holidays, not an excuse just a fact.

That's correct

Yoker will continue to play at Holm Park for the foreseeable future as no date has been agreed for any redevelopment work to start.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, the best way to deal with a decision you don't like is to become the decision maker...Positions Open Now
