Tickets bought.

I saw the limit was 300 - that's for all fans, home and away, so I reckon they'll go fast.

Apologies should have included this info.

Match is restricted to 300 fans due to Cumbernauld Colts playing Queens Park after our match it is also a replacement match for Clyde who were due to play Stranraer only to draw them in the League Cup I believe.

Maybe not that many will want to go - I believe it clashes with the popular Oban trip?

It does indeed Oban Tournament on the same day, Another great day ahead hoping the weather is good again this year.

Clyde's handy for us - handier than Hamilton - so it's a no-brainer to take in a friendly there.

Besides, I have happy memories of Broadwood: 2-0 win in the first full match played there, 3-1 thanks to Paddy Keogh in 2005, and that 3-2 fightback game 10 years ago in our title-winning season.

So Clyde in the fourth tier of Scottish football are selling ‘one off’ tickets for a pre season friendly online but we are still cash only for season tickets and strips in our shop?!

We live in an age where you can get into a taxi and pay by card no problem it shouldn’t be a problem for a top flight club.

Wasn’t going to bother with this game but all the recruitment activity plus our hugely improved media got me excited so ticket bought and printed off.

Amazed to read on social media that there are still tickets left!

I know it's only a friendly, but it's the first chance to see at least one or two of our new signings in action, and I'm really looking forward to it.

...and I’m looking forward to your detailed post match post as I’ll not be available for the match.

Is there a bus running to the game?

Accies TV will be bringing a pre match interview with fans and a post match interview with the manager and a player for you all! Will post details of this asap!

Well that was incredibly disappointing

You sound like my ten year old!

Interesting trial. The second half team looked better, but I'm sure our first choice XI will be a hybrid of both. Of our new signings, I was impressed by AJ, Ziggy, Penny and Bloomfield. Young Cunningham also caught the eye. Too soon to say about anyone else, but encouraging signs we'll field a strong team when the competitive games start.

Effectively we played 2 teams making 9(?) changes at half time. Thought Aaaron Smith ex Forrest looked lively in the first half and I was also impressed by the the young lad from Stirling Albion Stanger who I think got 90 minutes. But he should be comfortable playing Clyde at Broadwood. Like to see what he can do against SPFL opposition. A back four of Sowah, Ziggy, Stanger and McGowan in the first half looked disjointed but then its their first time playing real time together and up against Goodwillie as you may have noticed. Second half Penny, taiwo and Bloomfiled came on as well as mccann and a few others. I'd lost track by then but we did create a few chances one off the bar and another a great reflex save from their keeper. Sowah looked better than I remember. The important bit is martin figuring out our best starting 11 ASAP. Correct me if I’m wrong but dont think Garcia or Kelly played? Didnt help that we appeared to be playing in a training kit with no numbers on our shirts!

Garcia, Kelly... and no Miller either. Breen in Oban. Plus Want, Gogic & Oggy all still injured, I think.

The kit and numbers annoyed my son too, and are maybe an indicator of how seriously we weren't taking it? But we don't have long to get ready - the season is imminent.

Spelling corrections? Really?

Aaron Smith, whom we signed from Nottingham Forest, is one to watch, but I didn't see enough yesterday to make my mind up about him.

The official notice of his signing, with references to him being a "youngster" (something we didn't highlight about other young players) and having "potential" - coupled with, I think I'm right in saying, he never actually played for Forest's first team - made me think he was going to be more of a squad player this season, rather than competing for a regular start. But he looked bigger than I expected, fit, and half decent in a friendly where few really stood out.

We're also conspicuously short in creative midfielders/wingers - there's him, Sam Kelly (who didn't feature at all yesterday), Miller (ditto), Boyd, Cunningham, and arguably Bingham (maybe better played further forward). With nobody standing out, maybe Smith's the man. Or maybe that's where we shoehorn in Dougie (or Lyon). Weakest area of the team, IMO.
