( no offence to our friends at Yoker ) To be fair it did look a nice tidy wee park . Not sure what your crowds would of been back then but didn't look like much in the way off cover for spectators. According to the record yous won the league and central cup that season 34-35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Clydeholm Park - One of the original Clydebank juniors' grounds. 3 tower blocks and a farmfoods stand here now. Not sure if the Juniors played there Yah Yah .... the senior team from the 20s / 30s played there ... 20000 capacity - about 200 yards from Holm Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtatties Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The new ground sits bang in the middle of the picture, the old ground just a bit to the left. That would be the old North British Loco Works in the foreground. The buiding to the right, with the quadrangle, is the former Flemington St College - now part of the new North Glasgow College? Railway apprentices served part of their 'time' there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
