I don’t think many regular fans travel great distances to watch us as most I suspect are from the Shawlands/Pollokshaws area and surrounds. The bugbear of the Old Firm is the fact that many folk with no connection at all to those teams travel from all over Scotland never thinking about watching or supporting their local sides just because they can watch a team that wins almost every game. I get what you mean. I don't know if most on here will though. Think we can all guess the big team of most Junior fans in Banjo Country. They wear blue and it ain't Kilmarnock. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossilYM Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Amazing the number of teams that wear blue as a first or second strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesel1994 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 10 hours ago, PossilYM said: So you don't think Pollok might attract outsiders that don't live in Shawlands. They might even have season tickets for elsewhere in Glasgow and enjoy a visit to Newslandsfield when the big team is away or maybe playing on a Sunday. Come to think of it, why do Clydebank play a lot of games on a Friday night? I think of all the teams at this level, Clydebank will have the LEAST following a "big team" . Certainly when they started out in the Juniors Clydebank WAS the big team - (ignoring the petty arguments), they saw themselves as a continuation of the team that had only about 16 or 17 years earlier been playing in the Scottish Premier Division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhubarb1974 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If Clydebank fail to win the league with them currently in poll position and favorites for the league, would this season be seen as a failure for them given a very poor cup run? Would they also consider if not promoted the premier non-league competition the Scottish Junior Cup, by far the most prestigious and also the most financially rewarding competition at our level. Or would they still view that as beneath them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest I was surprised at that, they have strong crowds and in a decent area. Was a bit strange the captain leaving and joining us on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest when we took him on loan my initial thoughts was it was an attempt from us to show we could attract ex-senior player. Not been bad for us but nothing special. There's certain teams I couldn't less if they went under as they bring nothing to the table however Pollok are a massive club at this level so hope all ends well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The nameless tim Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Seen on Twitter Daz Christie & Adam Forde away to Johnstone Burgh. Seems like Pollok's financial issue is cause for great concern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglelok Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 They were probably away at end of session for free anyway, so might as well get some money in for them now if true. Our season is virtually over apart from wosfl cup. #MTLN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
