Quite happy to share with Yoker and all the other teams that use Holm Park Community Football Academy. Great going down to watch Yoker when Clydebank are away, Clydebank Ladies FC on the Sunday, the odd Unity league game and all the academy teams if they reach the later round of their respective cups. West Dunbartonshire council, Yoker AFC and Clydebank FC have done a great job with the facility 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass isn't possible with so many teams using the place. I'd suggest that Holm Park feels very much like a football stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it financially when teams can't afford their own grounds however there should be a cut off as to which league they should be allowed in while ground sharing. Clubs that invest in their own parks are at a disadvantage to those using council facilities. West Prem up the way shouldnt be ground sharing imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Seen plenty cracking games at Beith including a memorable title winning game for Meadow back when we were good plus cup finals and seen very few good games at astros and thats after them pumping us again 5-0 at the weekend. In 5 years time West of Scotland Premier will be majority astros as teams playing on them have a lot more money to spend on their first team squad excluding well run teams like Talbot & Beith and bank rolled teams like Darvel. Only a matter of time for other teams to go astro as realise it's First or Second Division football or go astro.

Pitch at Glenafton is shockingly uneven and bumpy.Give me an Astro any day over that bobbly washing board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
