LeeKRR1878 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Petershill. They "tried" to destroy Rutherglen Glencairn. I believe that "Glensmad" always had plans to write a book about the event. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairn1902 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The truth is that I intend to write some sort of publication tracking the 25 years since the club's centenary, which will be in 2021 (Glencairn are currently 120 years old). Glencairn 125 will be the title, and the events of June and July 2010 will have a chapter all of its own. I "hope" to buy a copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-german exile Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 What attempts have been made? Wasn't involved myself but the the following info was put on our fans forum. The problem corner at the bottom of the ground was sub soiled( if that's the correct term) then a mixture of sand and soil was put down to fill the grooves. Then the pitch was evened, rolled and seeded. Fascinating, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a fair bit of work being done about 3 seasons ago, possibly prior to their first season in the Premier.Having a poor pitch disadvantages Hurlford more than anyone else so it would be unfathomable for them to have done nothing to it, especially when the rest of the ground has been upgraded.

ex-german exile Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Aye, but when does anyone let the facts or logic get in the way of a good negative story about the diddy upstarts of the west premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then surely the management team should be a figure of hate not the club very low of them to do that and rightly so vent your anger towards them better without them in long run tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Glensmad will write a comprehensive account of the AGM and its consequences for Rutherglen Glencairn in his proposed book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue manalishi Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 In my heart of hearts I can honestly say after a lifetime following Cambuslang Rangers through thick & thin that I don't hate any other junior club. This even includes our local rivals Rutherglen. It's obviously great to turn them over in the sectional league cup as they've been playing in divisions above us for a while now , so its usually the only time we lock horns & getting one over on them is pleasing , but I've never felt hatred for them. My brother even played for them in the early '70's & I'd go watch him if we weren't playing. Also I've had quite a few enjoyable drinking sessions with some of their fans who I went to school with (long time ago) over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
