Optimistic to think they will still be on the go in 5 years? I suppose they have survived this long with two name changes and multiple relocations... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be comfortably the biggest ground in the West of Scotland Premier league in time. The way things are going with dumbarton that grounds going to be a block of flats in 3 years. What a complete farce Broomhill really are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I for one am sure this move & the new badge will be the thing to propel the club into the SPFL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 The one bit of good news for them that seems to have been overlooked is the return of Stephen Swift as manager. The league is tougher since he left, but at least he knows how to get the best out of these absolute chancers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming round to the idea that these nomadic clubs should have so long to secure a permanent ground of their own, or goodbye. A decent period of time, but if they can’t find somewhere in say, 10 years, they’re not really a club anymore just a shell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSC Glasgow, Broomhill, Open Goal Broomhill, back to Broomhill. Maryhill, Alloa, Cumbernauld and now Dumbarton. They have no roots or identity at all. I'm not sure why they bother. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I hope Dumbarton got a big deposit because Broomhill will be lucky to last 5 months never mind 5 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 They, can change their name to FC Bonhill now they have flitted to the rock. If they are relegated can the West no refuse them entry. We don't want them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never play where they are named for. This nomadic existence should be against the rules of licencing. They are seriously taking the piss now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I asked one the Broomhill lads about the flittings etc. Was told "Broomhill is just a name". Figure that one out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
