Jack Burton Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Im sure you no more about it than me as its your ground but How much of the main stand was closed though? About a 1/4?? How much more stewards does it take for that, surely it can't cost more than opening a full other stand, if it does that's utter madness, https://www.clydefc.co.uk/news/2016/12/29/5371/#.WI3A1JtFDqAYou can see how much of the stand is closed in the above link. I don't know all the ins and outs of it. We wouldn't be opening all of the stand behind the goal. It would only be a small section which requires less stewards to be employed than opening all of the main stand. Assuming it is to do with the amount of exits in the main stand and areas that require stewards to patrol them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your not supposed to sit in section 2/ 3 either according to the instructions yesterday ha ha But the club are organising a sponsored brewery tour I would suggest you bring your own bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true they've backed themselves into a financial corner, they have to take a step back and look at how they got themselves into that mess.

But they need to realise the potential they have, there's a lot more than the 400 that's currently turning up. So if they stick with a manager who fails to deliver purely for any "other benefit" he's bringing, they're going to compound the problem, crowds will get even lower, and they'll rely even more on that. It'll end in disaster If they bring in someone with managerial nouse who can work with a decent squad and get it back on track, crowds will increase. They'll increase further through promotion, so they can either take a long term view and get themselves out a vicious circle or they'll be culpable for what happens Even the incident yesterday. Whoever spat on the Arbroath fan was completely out of order. But 10 years ago, that couldnt even have happened. With the crowd levels we had, there's no chance away fans would have been shown to that area. Ever decreasing circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A series of poor decisions and questionable leadership have brought a once great club to a sorry impasse. Clyde deserves better.

Jack Burton Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Highlights of the game above. Just emphasises how poor I thought the defending was at both Arbroath goals. You can pass up the amount of clear cut chances we had in the first half and expect to get something from the game. We don't do enough to stop crosses coming into the box and are hopeless at defending them. The majority of goals we lose are from poor defending from crosses or corners.

FREDDYFRY Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just watched highlights also; defending is just woeful but Gibson again Jesus wept! How many goals does he gift? Will be interested to see the Clyde highlights when they are up, I assume they will show the handball decision, just to be clear I'm not saying the linesman lost us the game just want to see the incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only one David Marsh Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If we are financially tied to ferguson seeing out his contract why not put him on gardening leave and see if peaso wants the job to the end of the season. I can't imagine ferguson is on a huge amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm moves out from his body and he plays the ball with his forearm. Being right in line with it may have made it less obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sao Paulo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 'The Annan fans said McNiff done alright at left back...'. 'Everybody has a hard time again Linn, not just Phil Johnstone...!' 'Johnstone's got great recovery pace' 'But if Lowden wasn't injured...!' 'We're spoiled with Barry' This is just some of the sycophantic commentary we've passed between ourselves this season, like the salt at the dining table of our own funeral reception. It's worth planting a flag here, I think. When or if we arrest our decline, let's resolve not to insist on the usefulness of players and managers who're manifestly rubbish, mediocre, barely tried or simply unsuccessful. And let's keep in mind how different that is from choosing among evils; if we've a crap bunch to pick from, we're as well to assemble them as best we can. That is a mile away from being pleased about them being here which, unfortunately, to read some posters, you would think they were, such is their determination to absolve the management, or club more broadly, of any wrongdoing.

Lichtielegend Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Lucky to take all 3 points there. Some very poor finishing from Clyde spared us. Arguably the poorest defensive performance Little and Hamilton have had together this season, but they scored the goals so they get a pass. As for the crowd issue, it was surely something that could have been easily avoided with a bit of dialogue between fans, board and stewards in advance. There was around 20 of us that got to the ground at 2.30pm and were saw the usual away gates were shut. We were given no specific instruction by stewards for seating, so took a cluster of seats that were all together. The young lads behind us seemed to be in a bit of a competition to see who could be a big man but, aside from one of our fans scarves being grabbed and a few shouts, it was fairly uneventful (I didn't see any spitting, personally). That being said, it just takes one dodgy comment taken the wrong way for it to kick off. The difference with Gayfield being typically unsegregated is that the fans are spread over a greater area and everyone has a lot more freedom to move.
