Marten Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 8 minutes ago, AlansHotBath said: No idea why there would be a need to move the game from Alloa, United play there regularly and Hibs have done so in the recent past. Think you can only move grounds on safety reasons anyway? It was a weird question, I'm sure you're right that they can't just move it. Also, although both Dundee United & Hibs would take a decent following which could mean a very healthy attendance, they won't take that many that BSC will desperately want to play it at a bigger ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be 30+ clubs joined pyramid since BSCG . If by foundation date Gretna, EK, Tweedmouth + Caledonian Braves appear younger than Broomhill SC.

Broomhill Sports Club are not and never have been SFA licence holders. BSC Glasgow FC is a separate entity that only came into being in 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think club's can just decide to change the venue so they can get a bigger crowd. Seemed a pretty daft question to ask the manager TBF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Was an odd, and most probably ill informed question by Jonathon Sutherland. But I do wonder if BSC might make efforts to play the game in Glasgow - Firhill is available that weekend. I assume BSC's contract with Alloa would only cover league matches, so there may be an avenue for them to play the game closer to 'home' should they wish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthrieston Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Well done to BSC, they might be a new club but have always been a decent side to watch in the last few seasons. They always have experienced pros and utilise them well. I’m sure that when they find a place and relocate back to the Glasgow area their fan base will improve. As for the continued snipping about them not having their own stadium, almost all the teams in the Lowland League rent/lease their stadiums. All the best for the next round, you deserve it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be brilliant if could move it to Glasgow but I don't think that will happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been on the basis of safety though (although Albyn Park could, in my opinion, easily handle a crowd of circa 2500), so matches can be moved. Recreation Park can safely host BSC V Hibs/Dundee Utd, so the moving of it to Glasgow would be for no other reason than to play it in their home city - like yourself, not sure if thats permissable or not. Or if the club have any desire to either for that matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unaware of that. Glad to hear they're renewing that surface as it was getting in a bit of a state. Talking to Brian McNaughton once, he did concede that it maybe actually helps them, so the team themself might miss it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I believe the ground can only be changed if it is unlicensed or due to safety issues. Alloa's ground will be fine for the tie against Dundee Utd or Hibs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t help thinking it might have been a closer game had Ricky Miller not been cup tied. Absolutely delighted though. Biggest achievement in our very short history by far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
