Our fixtures now confirmed as :-

Tues 16 July Clyde v HAFC 19.45 ***
Sat 20 July HA v PT 15.00
Sat 27 July Airdrie V HA 15.00

*** I’m sure Ive read that because a new articial pitch is being laid at Broadwood, Clyde are playing some home games at NDP. If correct then the game on the Tuesday night will be at NDP?

From Clyde FC's website
Sunday 21st July: Clyde v Airdrie (3pm at Hope CBD Stadium, Hamilton

Can't imagine why 16 July Tuesday game would be at any other venue than NDP, given Clyde are using our ground for their next 'home' game on the following Sunday, after our home game against PT on the Saturday.

Unless, bacause it is such a massive game and it has to be played at a neutral stadium

Also from Clyde website -:

"Following the SPFL's announcement this afternoon that the Clyde v Hamilton Accies fixture will not take place at the Hope CBD Stadium as previously planned, further information will follow".

Wow! It IS a massive game then, to be on a neuitral ground

Looks like we are going to Airdrie twice?

Queens Park are using Airdrieonians ground for home games as work is being done to Hampden’ pitch so they are at “home” on the Tuesday . I don’t think anyone knows yet where this tie will be played. I vote for Arbroath as I’ve never been there !!!

Gayfeild Park is great on a Summers day. the sound of the sea crashing into the terracing... aaahhh

TIP: Wrap up well if you go in Winter (which is most of our Scottish Season anyway)

The Clyde tie is now confirmed as taking place at Ochilview of all places!

WTF!!!!

One bonus. Minimal travel for Tatty!!

Should have been Murrayfield.

Could have played at East Kilbride , be big enough for any crowd to watch this game
