support the underdog

If Clyde survive one would hope lessons will be learned and yes ex Maitland massive change is needed. There is no point just firing people for the sake without better alternatives but most of the Board should go. If its the worst, and frankly winning the playoffs will be difficult against probably EK who will be confident, massive change is also needed again ex Mailand who I hope sticks around. The loss of income will be massive and unless the mystery donor coughs up it will be a slog. The lesson from the others relegated to the LL is without money rebuilding would take time. That said other clubs have largely held their support and I guess that will broadly continue thus Clyde would be one of the strongest in the league but keeping the donor is critical. I would say Clyde have a 50% chance of surviving - but they must go for it. Draws are now no good.

Ultimately it is who wants it. Next weeks game is very winnable. But it has to be won, no ifs or buts. Elgin away, assuming it still matters, is tough. Again they have nothing to play for but the performances are too erratic to be confident. Sad situation and wishing you 100%.

wow- that was neve biting. 10 minutes ago it looked grim. Bonnyrigg 2-1 up and a draw not much use to Clyde. Now its a real three horse dog fight. Ultimately down to guts and a bit of luck but the momentum is definately with Clyde. Looking at the remaining last four games next week Stranraer, Bonnyrigg and Clyde are all away with equally diffcult opposition. The game on 20th Clyde play Stenny who have nbothing to play for outside revenge for that humping. Stranraer and Bonny at home v mid table teams. Second last game we're at home to East Fife, Bonnyrigg away at Stenny and Stranraer away to Forfar. Perhaps Clyde have the easier tie? It may go down to the last day Bonnyrigg have the easiest tied on paper v Forfar, but Strarnaer play the champions Stenny and who knows how bothered they will be. The trip to Elgin for Clyde looks tricky. Clyde have a great chance now but I think we need to have pulled ahead before the last Saturday.

Let’s not worry about Bonnyrigg. Let’s worry about Clyde. One point away at Peterhead and a win v Stranraer and probably off the bottom. Having been a lost cause it’s now up to Clyde. 4 wins and unquestionably safe, three wins almost certainly so, two wins totally reliant on others failing even more. keep the run up and Clyde will be safe but there is still a lot of football to play.

watched on live stream. Decent second half but got to bury the chances and some snatched shots. Still all to play for but the onus remains on Clyde to keep the pressure up. This could easily go down to the last week! Live stream camera needs shifted in bright weather- very hrd to see the far side but good option if you live far away. What was the gate today - hoepfully a bit better than normal?

Clyde is my second team. The reason I support them is when I lived in Glasgow quite a number of years ago I adopted them and used to watch them quite a bit. Why because there was no way I would support Rangers or Celtic ever, Partick was not for me and QP while a bit romantic was rather silly at Hampden. So it had to be Clyde particularly given their great but fallen history. The reason for the intro is I only watch Clyde very occasionally now (although a few times this season) as I live down south and very rarely away although I always keenly look out for their results and absolutely want them to prosper. Given the debate over the unfortunate altercation at the end as a very occasional this is my impression of the support on Saturday was as follows. 150 or so perhaps in the away end. Strong bias to grey hair but a fair few under 40 and some children. So pretty decent number but it was a critical game. This critical game starts as badly as could conceivably happen. Dreadful cock up 1-0 down. Defeat certainly means play offs and probable LL. I was behind the goal and with only one exception there was a passive resignation. No bad language, stoic acceptance. Given the importance of the game and the shocking nature of the first goal I might have expected more anger. It was pretty restrained with almost disappointed resignation. Second half totally different - support up for it big time after the goal and passionate but it was pretty old school(which I like) - decent banter and certainly no agro from the fans just delight at a decent performance. A little bit of goading but that comes with the territory and is part of the game so long as not as not offensive which it wasn’t. I have no idea if Clyde are the most hated team in the league or not but in my view the support given what they have been through over a long time is remarkably loyal, pretty stoic and good humoured. That’s one of the reasons I am keen to go along when I can and give a cheer.

Given this was played at New Dundas Park I would love to have visited Old Dundas Park. That must have been quite something!

Give Bonnyrigg a break. While their ground is very basic there is a sort of nostalgia around it and being literally 10 feet from where the keeper stands gives a completely different and interesting perspective on the game. Further it is great to see so many people supporting their local team. Bonnyrigg have a really decent support given the size of the town and far better they are loyal to their local club and not Celtic or Rangers. Sure there was a very disappointing incident at the end but leaving the ground the vast majority of their guys were decent and while disappointed pretty good humoured. it was a good game slightly marred by a stupid incident at the end. Clyde have something to celebrate, a real chance now of staying up now against all the odds of a few weeks ago if they ‘keep the heid.’ Good luck to Bonnyrigg so long as it is not at the expense of Clyde!

Well just back from the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I still have yet to see Clyde lose this season and that’s my 5th game if you count the Musselburgh one I saw on TV. was just behind the goal. Less said about the first minute the better but total balls up. First 25 mins really unimpressed- hoofball and no composure but gradually Clyde started to improve and look better than arise. Great performance in second half - super first goal by Jordan Allen and tenacious for the second. He looks sharp. Well deserved and outside the Bonnyrigg hitting the post they really did not look likely to snatch an equaliser. New Dunbar Park is perhaps the most basic ground I have ever been to but strangely I rather liked it. Proper football, no plastic fantastic, but their support were rather quiet. Good to see a good turnout from the Bully Wee and some passion. Game on now and the momentum is with Clyde and determination like that and the club will survive a near death experience.

I hope I don't jinx thinks but going to the Bonnyrig game on Saturday- my fifth game (or fourth live). Still not seen Clyde lose this season! The Spartans draw , which should have been a win, away, Jeanfield and Bonnyrigg with the latter performance pretty decent at home and and then a pretty average performance v Musselburgh on TV. Pretty confidernt for another fine performance on Saturday I would say!

Quite a few Peterhead and Spartans can't win the league but they have almost certainly made the play-offs, similarly Stenny might take the foot of the gas. I would say Elgin and Forfar are safe and while their is a bit of competityion betwen Dumbarton and East Fife that too is probably settled. Seven teams with not so much a stake and as Clyde showed a couple of wereks ago strage results can happen. That leaves three teams with lot a stake, Clyde, Stranraer and Bonneyrig. Bonneyrig are on a dreadful run and looks the second most vulnerable. If Clyde are to make it next week is certainly a must not lose and reslistically is a must win. Not over yet but Clyde must show grit and bottle.

its dissapointiong but not termonal . Win next week and its 3 points but sure far from ideal. There will be a lot of strange results in the last seven or eight games as several teams have ittle to play for. Not over yet.

perhaps I should quit while I'm ahead!

Thanks and look forward to it. This will be the fourth game I have seen Clyde play. They have won the other three- Jeanfield, Bonnyrigg and Musselburgh (on TV) and have yet to see them lose!!! I can't understand why some of you lot who say the team are hopeless- the invincibles as far as I can see!

Intending to go to the Spartans game on Saturday to support The Clyde! Do you know if you can pay at the gate or do I need to book on line? If so is it segregated with tickets for the Clyde end or not?
