Never change, lads. Galabank is class and only the biggest headbangers think Murray/Ross are realistic shouts - we're not all dafties, just about 90% are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho it takes familiarity, so if the board has any sense (eek) we won't be looking at Jim McIntyre. McCall dropping down didn't work because he just didn't understand how to line a team up at this level. He's obviously a good manager, but that's not all that's needed unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaleyReinhart Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Pretty happy with that, despite a decent job from February onwards last year (until this season). Given the last 4 games have shown some progress you'd really hope they have someone in mind/started the process. Hope it's Darren Young. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde_MM Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Would be pleased with Darren Young. Pretty sure he was on Off the Ball last weekend too and I know they've got their running joke about getting gigs for out of work managers. Lumped us with Jim Duffy last time too so they owe us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Experience tells us we shouldn't get excited at all about any statement from the Club regarding relocation as there have been too many false dawns (official and rumoured) on that front to mention. The latest announcement is perhaps deliberately vague and raises more questions than answers provided but this maybe suggests a considered change of approach : let's under-promise for a change in the hope that we can over-deliver this time. I live within a couple of miles of the park and so - from a purely selfish point of view - I'm hopeful. However, whatever 'stadium' we end up with (and if money was no object and we had the space I'd love something like Burton Albions Pirelli Stadium or Salford City's Peninsula) it has to be ours in every sense of the word, somewhere we can call our very own, something that belongs to us (or for which we have a very long lease) and somewhere where we can't be kicked out by the Council at short notice for - for example - our signing policy. Wherever we end up, I'd like to think we can come up with the funds to build a stand for 1000 spectators and a separate, simple concrete terracing around 3 sides covered on one side and housing another 2000 with a bit of space to expand (in the unlikely event we'll ever require a bigger capacity than 3000) - a wee bit like a smaller, scaled-down version of the old Douglas Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a manager that can get us out the league and has proven record. Young I believe with Stirling and Fife. .No time for experiments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 There is no need for a stand to hold 1000, initially I’d be looking for 300-500 seats with terracing round the sides with the ability to expand if/when required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

same_ol_g35 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 I want to be happy and optimistic with this announcement(and the potential new ground). But sadly, I'm left with the overarching feeling of dread on how Clyde will manage to make this situation even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about sharing/try to buy the City Stadium? Queens Park don't seem to have a use for it now. Bit closer to your spiritual home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscottyoung Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 17 hours ago, haufdaft said: I agree the space seems a bit small for a decent stadium to a layman like myself. K Park in EK does not take up much space. Nor does Galabank. I hope to God the clubs intention is not to build something as shitty as those "stadia" Maybe there are creative ways to fit a decent stadium into the available space. That's a problem for the architect. I'll await the plans before judging. With regard to planning permission, surely the club must have indicated to the council their intention to build a stadium on the site. It's that not the point of the whole bloody exercise? Ah yes your current stadium which is your home and making you loads of money commercially is so much better.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point about Galabank but EK are looking to move away from their set-up, one we could easily end up with if what has been proposed gets approved. If you're going to the trouble of setting up a new ground it would be pretty stupid to set up a carbon copy of something a team trying to get to where you are on the ladder has demonstrated to be unsuitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
