Broadwood Stadium

Clyde have announced they are planning to move away from their current Cumbernauld base at Broadwood Stadium after a 16 year stay.

The club issued a statement yesterday saying they have told landlords North Lanarkshire Leisure they intend to move in the future, although no date has been mentioned.

They state the development and limitations of the lease at Broadwood do not match their ambitions.

Where they end up next is a huge decision for the supporter owned club. Having moved to Cumbernauld after 88 years at Shawfield in Rutherglen they appeared to alienate the original core support while failing to build a new support in North Lanarkshire.

It makes you wonder if the plan is to return to the South East Glasgow area where the original support came from. Or, as the statement, seems to hint are they looking for another site in North Lanarkshire.

I hope they get things settled quickly and a once great club can get back up the SFL pyramid. For someone who remembers a Clyde side that produced Dom Sullivan, Steve Archibald and Pat Nevin I always find it a great pity they have ended up at the bottom of the SFL pile.
