cmontheloknow Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Don't get the thread - a Talbot fan surely can't be that thick and anyone who wants to know knows Lok play a wind-assisted goalkick from the Shawlands shops. Does the Cart mark the boundary of Newlands and Shawlands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Cart mark the boundary of Newlands and Shawlands? Think it does, either that or the railway bridge, it was always my understanding that Pollok play in Newlands, hence the name of the ground.

Screwinstud Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What the OP should have asked, 'are there any Junior teams that play football in the shawlands area?" NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Think it does, either that or the railway bridge, it was always my understanding that Pollok play in Newlands, hence the name of the ground. I would imagine that at sometime the post codes were the best way to determine the area. Newlandsfield is g43 which is Newlands while Shawlands is G41. I think G41 starts just after Coustonholm Rd. So you are correct Pollok FC are in Newlands. Does anyone know of any Junior teams in or around the Upper Cumnock area of Ayrshire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC63 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sorry I asked. A friend has moved into the area. I know Pollok aren't that far away but I thought there might be another team close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sorry I asked. A friend has moved into the area. I know Pollok aren't that far away but I thought there might be another team close by. Not too many teams in the southern part of the city though, with Lok being pretty much at the edge of both Newlands (which it is in) and Shawlands (which it is not). Your friend will have to come and watch the Lok! If your friend was one of the more upwardly-mobile citizens of Auchinleck, Hampden's plush seats might be more appealing.

WaffenThinMint Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sorry I asked. A friend has moved into the area. I know Pollok aren't that far away but I thought there might be another team close by. Perhaps you were thinking about Shawfield, the old Junior club whose Rosebery Park was used long after their demise as a temporary home for the post-1967 Third Lanark and by the old Glasgow Corporation/City Council for school level matches until it was condemned as being contaminated by the nearby chrome works (all traces of it were destroyed when the M74 by-pass was built). Strangely enough, Pollok also played there for a while when they were "between grounds" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Rutherglen Glencairn are probably the only other reasonably close team, a short bus trip from Shawlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokforever Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 and then back to shawlands when the game is called off, oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Rutherglen Glencairn are probably the only other reasonably close team, a short bus trip from Shawlands. Benburb's not that far as well even if it's not exactly next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelesboots Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Arthurlie are a very short train ride from Pollokshaws , right next door to Shawlands. Something like 8 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrellburn Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Even in the golden age of the juniors, pre WW2 and immediately post, there was never the numbers of clubs south of the Clyde that there were in the North and East end. I can only think of Shawfield Juniors as a club which has disappeared since then. Maybe the football watching public preferred going to watch Third Lanark and Queens Park in that era, certainly Pollok did not enjoy the sort of dominance in the junior ranks that they came to achieve in more modern times.

Brig O'Lea Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yer all like a bunch of hoors trying to get the attention of a slowly passing car! By the way, if you get the train at 12:26 from Pollokshaws East to Cathcart then the 12:47 from Cathcart to Neilston you can be up the Brig in no time.
