The full quote is; Our aim is to give kids within the Renfrewshire and surrounding area's an opportunity to enjoy and develop their football & Netball skills in a safe and secure environment, with the full support and backing of our club coaches – all of our club coaches have the relevant SYFA coaching certificates and have been fully Disclosure Scotland checked. St Cadocs Primary is in Newton Mearns, that is where they were founded from. "Founded from" is not the same as "claim to represent". Can you find any evidence of the latter? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it is not on a website it's not true. I have lived in the area all my days, I know people who's kids play for St Cadocs and they all believe they are based in Newton Mearns, are they all wrong? By deciding to selectively quote something, it shows that you are really just here to shit stir and I am not going to bother continuing interacting with someone who doesn't want to constructively discuss and issue for clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 In fairness to Pollok (im shuddering defending it), they play just beside Pollokshaws road, the train station beside them is Pollokshaws east, they are right beside Pollok Park, the area they play in is Pollokshaws, i mean for folk to mention that in the same vein as St Cadocs etc is a bit rich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The almost 1000 kids/members train at Eastwood High School in Newton Mearns, as do the WoSFL team. The club was formed by the janitor of St Cadocs Primary in Newton Mearns and takes players from all the local primary and high schools. The proposal to convert the Crookfur playing fields to two new football pitches and a running track was met with some local opposition, but there is also local support to find a home ground, and the town is large enough to have a successful side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can get it sorted. I know first hand how hard it is to get something built in the community when several of the NIMBYS get their hackles up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was myself that brought up Pollok along with Ants in response to a post saying Partick didn't play in Partick. There are other teams who don't play precisely where they are from. It wasn't a negative 're Lok. Born and bred in Pollok and a regular attendee to Shawlands back then I am aware of Lok's history. As most agree St Cadocs can be considered taking the piss playing in Drumoyne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it unlike the SPFL/LL (Dumbarton/Broomhill groundshare!) the WoSFL don't allow teams to share on grass pitches and that's the reason that St Cadocs aren't playing more local. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were renting from St Ants but moved to Bens last season (not sure of the reason). I believe the league are against new sharing/renting arrangements that or on grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season as Harmony Row are now Giffnock SC are playing at Eastwood High. If I'm wrong Arthurlie1981 will definitely know as my source back home has fed me incorrect info recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of Newton Mearns as a town. An old mining village roughly where present Mearns Cross is and that was about it. The rest of it is just suburban sprawl reaching out from Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With CeltGers both playing in a different country from where their roots are. I think 3 miles is acceptable. Lok have never played in Pollok. Ants no longer in Govan. Dunipace are in Denny. The list is endless. What irks people about St.Cadocs and to a lesser extent St.Peters is they don't play in the town they claim to represent. And will they ever. The Ants do still play in Govan. “Greater Govan”, but still Govan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry as a local that side of the expressway is and always will be Shieldhall. Even the other side is Drumoyne. Govan stops at top of Helen Street where it meets Paisley Road West. I understand what you are saying about this Greater moniker, but McKenna is in Shieldhall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like many from the post war Southside schemes moved out there. That's why when Pollok Centre was being expanded they came up with Silverburn to appeal to the new wealthier areas to the South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm just showing my age. Would never suggest Ants are not a Govan team was just pointing out they don't play in Old Govan anymore. Understand about the Govan Ward. Family migrated from Antrim to Southside beginning of 1900's. All proud to be from Govan, Drumoyne, Shieldhall, Linthouse, Pollok, Priesthill, Nitshill etc. Never said Greater Govan or Greater Pollok. But will leave it at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
