BWAClyde Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Given our current situation the last thing we need would be more negative press, perhaps letting the club know the supporters feel strongly about this would discourage them from making the decision to sign someone with this sort of background. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I realise Clyde maybe felt obliged to play in this tournament as it was a memorial competition. However playing your first two (of four?) friendlies against 7th/8th tier seems odd when you've got a large number of trialists you're trying the assess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the No. 6 yesterday was Conor McLaughlin who was at Rossvale last season. If it’s the same guy (and I’ve not idea whether it is), he was at Airdrie when he was younger too. I was up at the Science Park last week and he was training with Caley Locos (Rossvale). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how he’s ended up on trial at us then. By all accounts he was impressive yesterday so it’ll be interesting to see whether he sticks around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoingThe42 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Anyone know who today's number 8 was? Thought he looked decent for most of it, if not quite fit. Thought the 3 struggled to get into the game at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing against diddie teams to win some stupid tournament that means nothing.Why not test the trialists against good teams to see what they are made of.Clyde fc from top to bottom are an amateur club.Wait till the real stuff starts and watch that team find their way to the bottom of league 2.The whole thing is a joke and don’t get me started on crownpoint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Club are well aware that Council processes are notoriously difficult and are therefore realise it’s far from certainty we will actually get Crownpoint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that it’s a combination of no trust in this current board alongside having been continuously let down over the last decade and a half. Nothing tangible to it really. I reckon we will get Crownpoint, however I don’t really trust the current regime to develop and run it. We struggle sometimes to run the club let alone a football team and an athletics/football campus. Realistically the only way we don’t get it is if the council goes with Finnart, who seemed to be interested in the football side of the facility only, or the council 180 and don’t want to get rid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 The application submitted was certainly comprehensive enough. Although, the local MPs supporting Finnart’s bid (apparently one MP who backs it is a former Finnart player) is worrying. I can’t find any actual application other than the initial submission from Finnart but a quick Google search reveals affiliates of Finnart positing on internet forums spreading untruths about big, bad, Clyde wanting to rip up the whole complex. Certainly seems to be a bit of a mob mentality to that from players/ex-players/parents/coaches etc. I certainly hope we get it. Considering this process has already taken a year to get to this stage, never mind breaking ground on any re-development, it would be a disaster to have to identify another suitable site and start again at square one. Truthfully, I hope Finnart find what they are looking for too but selfishly, not at our expense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any reason that we both couldn’t use it? Plenty of teams sharing these days, it’s much less of an issue with Astro surfaces. A joint venture with us as primary tenant would make a lot of sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde were willing to share Crownpoint with Finnart. Finnart werent willing to share Crownpoint with Clyde. That the reason why we both cant use it. Both sharing it and retaining the athletics club makes sense but the problem with common sense is unfortunately it isnt very common. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but I think if any bid will be successful there one will 1. They are already embedded in the local area 2. They have support from local MPs, councillors etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
