1320Lichtie Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 New stadium? Its older than you!! In the middle of new housing estates? Effectively a sports centre? Isnt every ground? Haha well... still relatively new. Just mean it's more out of town in comparison to some of the older grounds that have been about for a hunner years.

There's a new retail park getting finally getting built next to the ground that was the original plan for the stadium to be part of a retail complex but it never happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 There's a new retail park getting finally getting built next to the ground that was the original plan for the stadium to be part of a retail complex but it never happened Any idea what's going on it?? I normally do my shopping in Cumbernauld. Personally i think Broadwood takes an unfair pounding. Away fans are welcome to dislike it as they wish, and tbh i would like it to be because of all the things they say....but their players all seem to love it. I would actually agree with this. It needs a wee bit of tlc now but if a couple of quid could be spent on cleaning it up and repairing some broken seats then it's a cracking wee ground. Never really got the bad press, other than the fact it doesn't have a proper Pie stand and pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Whether we pay 40 quid or 40 grand disnae matter in the grand scheme of things, At our level it probably matters a hell of a lot. We've recently had posts that suggest we cannot compete against junior teams financially when trying to attract players.Playing in front of 7000 empty seats doesn't seem to make up for the lower wages on offer to these players from Clyde. but given the alternatives to us leaving Broadwood 'cos its shite, weather, nae pubs' it would confirm the belief that the club had officially given up. It is too big, too expensive, inconvenient to get to without a car and importantly for me, it lacks any atmosphere whatsoever.We should move!

Snakebite Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'd much rather watch football at Broadwood than Cliftonhill, Central Park or any of the many hovels in the juniors. You used to get a good atmosphere there when Clyde were playing teams like Thistle, Falkirk etc. If you are at least in the 1st division then the ground is adequate and far more suitable than any of the above or a setup like Annan's. I thought the club were now getting a much better deal on the rent now anyway? Between Clyde, the Colts, SRU, development league games and all the other uses of the pitch and the gym facilities the place must be doing alright.

Properly run club with proper committed players and the atmosphere that year was great Broadwood has been used as an excuse for mismanagement for years now.

Glenconner Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Did Clyde ever have any money? Btw, Shawfield wasn't exactly the greatest ground for watching a football game. Effin dugs were always barking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Toys back in the pram, please. We just look like a bunch of fannies who can't take a beating these days. Clyde fans can certainly take a beating. We've had lots of practice. However, I do think that although winning is obviously the most important thing, winning with an atmosphere in the ground is far better. I would rather have both.Sitting in the stadium surrounded by empty seats is not conducive to excitement. I take a holistic view of fan experience.However, I'd be happy sitting on a shitty spike this season if Clyde win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
