Grumpy Soo-sider Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Shame if this the end of Poloc cricket club. Nice wee place and enjoyed watching the occasional game there many moons ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 From the Presidents letter to the members, they were told on the 2nd of March with formal papers being granted on the 3rd. They don’t have anywhere to go and are therefore winding the club up. 145 years on the site and even an R&A recognised 6 hole golf course. All evicted to provide some training facilities for QP youths? Pretty shameful by both the landlord and Queens tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it turns out that we are the new tenants, I find it strange that such an old club was so quick to shut up shop; 4 days after 140 odd years of history? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you / the Club didn’t know before, you certainly should now. On winding up, what do you expect them to do? There’s not a plethora of cricket grounds kicking around in their local area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about cricket, how many grounds there are, or how the sport is organised in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not to make light of the situation, there’s clearly a backstory or two here. It’s understandable that a Clyde fan would be upset at seeing someone lose their home. But your club picked themselves up and nearly 40 years later are still going strong. Literally hundreds of football clubs have gone to the wall in the history of the game. People get very emotional about losing old things. Like when our builders demolished the old farmhouse and barn. People make noise but very few want to invest in a solution. Let’s see what the facts are before passing judgements. Fortunately, when there’s a crisis at our club we know we’ve some of the best communicators in the business at hand. It’ll all come out soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is however a lengthy clause on when directors make mistakes, regardless of how bad or big the thing is, nothing is ever their fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiders67 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 As a former Poloc 1st XI player and lifelong QP supporter - this is something I never thought I'd have to contend with. However, I have now heard from a few trusted sources that QP are not the new tenants and it was just a rumour after all. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no reason to disbelieve my friend (an ex Poloc CC 1st XI player), but apologies in advance if this is slandering QP. Shawholm is a lovely ground, does seem a shame. Hopefully Poloc can find another ground, maybe even the public pitches temporarily. They have I believe bought the lochinch sports centre within the park. Something that members had been paying for years to upkeep. They aren't exactly making a good name for themselves if this is true.
