Clyde moving to EK

[DH1875]

As it says on the tin. Confirmed that Clyde are moving to East Kilbride. Will be known as EK Clyde from next season. Anyone know where they will play, is there a stadium in EK?

[Bishop Hibee]

Just heard this but no idea were they will play. They should have moved there after leaving Shawfield as many of their support base moved to EK when it was built. Dying at Cumbernauld so good luck to them at EK.

East Birklide FC?

[vercol36]

Is their current ground the one you see on the train between Edinburgh and Glasgow? Near Croy station?

Sure is

Peel Park (Towards busby/eaglesham side of EK.) New stadium being built with showpark where East Kilbride thistle play likely being sold for flats.

Personally think it is wrong. They should have to apply to rejoin the league. They shouldn't be allowed to just move around the country. You can't tell me that they are the same club as the one that previously played in Glasgow and beat us in one of these ill fated Scottish Cup final trips.

I live in EK but I don't think this is a good idea. There's not going to be any better crowd here than Albion Rovers get in Coatbridge. Too many die hard old firm fans. And a few hibees. I for one won't be giving up following Hibs to watch EK Clyde.

best of luck to Clyde. cannae see it taking off dramatically but over a period of years they may make their mark.was in the auld "bully wee" supporters club in Rutherglen a few years back,with the Hibees on the way tae Hampden. think the number of fans have dwindled greatly of late though.typical of places like that when young guys think their auld man's "aff his heid" no bein a hun-tic.

[Kato]

Could they not call themselves Excelsior East Kilbride Clyde, thus - "EEK! Clyde" (exclamation mark mine.)

East Kilbride Clyde, kinda rhymes.

Poor name though. I'd have thought the 'EK' part renders the club name tacky.

[monktonharp]

Could they not call themselves Excelsior East Kilbride Clyde, thus - "EEK! Clyde" (exclamation mark mine.) looks a bit jazzy. how's bout Clyde Athletic East Kilbride, or CAEK.?

Yes.

With it being vacant from next season it might solve the Savilles' problems?

[Purple & Green]

Is there a tie in with EK thistle? Do they have a significant age group set up?

The site will be at Langlands, just off the road out to Strathaven. Clyde will get a 4,000 seater stadium initially built for them, with plans to take it up to 10,000 (in order to host Scotland international U16s, U21s, etc).

The site will also have a social Club and training facilities, which the youth structure and 1st team can use for training.

The social Club and conference facilities can provide match and non-match day revenue for the Club.

A bold move, especially as this is the first decision like this in Scottish football to be voted for by the supporters(as owners).

A fantastic 82% turnout on the day & with proxies and a resounding 93%, 84% and 85% majority for the 3 resolutions.
