craig brown signed me (briefly) for the bully wee at shawfield, from queens park, before i went onto albion rovers... i left scotland a long time ago and didnt even realise they were no longer at shawfield... good video

[@Cousinreeek]

Hibs fan here. Much respect to both Clyde and Partick, Glasgow’s top 2. Hope to see them both back up the leagues in the near future

[@AvengerXFive]

Life long Clyde supporter and 4th generation, most Clyde supporters with family connections will tell you shawfield is our spiritual home and would love to return but highly unlikely now, I was brought up in Coatbridge so Cumbernauld is only a 15 minute drive from me. Great video mate 👍🏼🇾🇪

[@FootyAdventures]

Oh nice. Glad you enjoyed mate! Hope I did your club justice!

My Father is a die hard Clyde man! He took me to Shawfield tho I can’t remember to much of it. My fondest memories were watching them at Firhill, especially when playing the Jags. Another move happening again! Would love to see them get a place of there own next to the Clyde.

[@stevenroper2754]

On New Years Day 1968 I attended my first Scottish football game of Clyde v Celtic at the Shawfield stadium. I was in Glasgow visiting my granny for Hogmanay, and my uncle lived in walking distance of the ground. Celtic won the game 3-2, and I've had a soft spot for Clyde ever since.

[@duneideann9241]

Used to love going to Shawfield when Hearts played Clyde. Sadly missed great little stadium

[@garymacdonald7165]

Clyde are to Glasgow like Fulham are to London! Two small clubs,on the banks of the river, who have the same team colours! They need to come back to Glasgow,if they want to survive

[@FootyAdventures]

Good comparison

[@raymondbonington9355]

Fulham will never leave craven cottage , many have tried to move them on but being the oldest club in London it won't happen , fulhams crowds not that bad ? , was at Fulham v Clyde in 1968 friendly , ,, good luck Clyde .

[@garymacdonald7165]

I have family,who were Clyde fans and moved down to London (Brixton,) and adopted Fulham as their English team, because of the similarities!

[@davidstirling9162]

What do you base that on, Gary?

[@drewfd2859]

[@RittingsTN]

Brilliant video... love all your videos, but this one in particular I'd love an even more in depth look at Clyde, and other clubs in general too. I actually even started as Clyde FC in an FM23 save game because that always draws me a little closer to a club... have to say, if I was going to support a Scottish team (as a an Englishman who has been a lifelong Wolves fans) then Clyde might be the sort of club I'd be interested in :)

[@PleasantvilleLad]

The rumour about Clyde moving to East Kilbride, has been in circulation since the mid-1970's ~ this was a good video ~ Well Done ...

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks very much!

[@baldfatty1044]

I i love seeing the old tall floor lights, shows there an old style football there.

[@FootyAdventures]

Definitely!

[@WhiteHartDane]

Educated again. I wondered why a team called Clyde, with its obvious connection to the river of the same name, was playing in Cumbernauld. Well now I know.

[@harold6863]

Great video I love seeing these Scottish teams as daft as it sounds I used to have them on my Subbutio table football score board and heard the strange sounding names on the football results. It seems like the Scottish people really love their football.

[@weebolddavy]

Until I moved down south in 2003 I used to watch Clyde at every home match and some away matches depending on work. It's sad to see them sliding down the leagues, such a good club to be about. For your info, when Clyde won the 1955 Scottish Cup, beating Celtic in the replay. The final was played in front of over 106.000 at Hampden and was the first Scottish Cup Final to be televised live, had a certain Jock Stein playing for Celtic. 👍👍

[@deanmckirdy4641]

Always good seeing people exploring the roots of the famous bully wee. Such an interesting background. Hopefully on our way back up the leagues with the current manager. Great video 🇾🇪🇾🇪

[@FootyAdventures]

Cheers mate!

[@johnrobertson7421]

Love your videos my friend , I think the research you do is first class it makes all the difference. Well done my friend keep up the great work you do ,

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks so much John, I really appreciate that. I just uploaded a new video this morning and am filming another today :D

[@jackhutchison7308]

Life long Clyde fan here! Whole family follow Clyde and go to games (unitl COVID) We defo have a proud history even if hard time have been more recent but a promotion from League 2 was fantastic. The EK move will never happen, money issues wont let it happen and the whole debacle a few years ago about a name change to EK Clyde for moving there cause so much division in the club it was binned

[@johnelliott2212]

another class video these are the best ones when you show the small clubs everybody knows everything about Celtic & rangers I know as a Charlton Athletic fan moving out of your spiritual home let’s hope they get back to the shawfield area one day

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks John! Yeah I want to give clubs of all sizes a chance to be spoken about! Charlton one day I hope 😀 gunna be hard this side of 2021 with the announcement yesterday

[@nevillehubbard7347]

Having spent a considerable time in Cumbernauld, I've somehow developed a soft spot for the "Bully Wee.." despite being English and having retired to the South Coast of England!!! Hopefully, your video will prompt some rich benefactor to invest in them and take them to a stadium that can be called home 🤞🤞🤞. It's a sad state of affairs at present!

[@rebelbhoy1888]

Love watching these vids mate. top man

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks man, more coming soon!

[@robincadle3403]

Fantastic videos! So interesting to see what old grounds are like today. Please go and visit Gay Meadow, the old home of Shrewsbury Town. I used to go there a lot in the 1990's. Would like to see it now. Keep up the great work!

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

I'm looking forward to the next generation of Footy Adventures' videos when he'll be able to actually go into all of these stadiums, see the stands, terracings, board rooms etc. and talk with some of the people who are there every day. There are sometimes a few wee mistakes in the videos, but he's quickly turning out to be the best around at informing people about the the history (and current plight) of football in Scotland.

[@FootyAdventures]

Cheers mate! I can't wait for 2021, spring, fans being allowed back. Should be good! And yeah, I'm always looking to improve! Still kinda new to this! 🙈

[@thomaswilson8741]

Very nice and educational video! Very interesting facts about the club Clyde FC itself and were they used to play before where they are now.

[@FootyAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Clyde? Good club. Excellent fans. Speaking as an Annan supporter, Clyde fans are top quality. A fine old Club. This video is fitting tribute and recognition. I would be interested in knowing definitively about the origins of the Bully Wee nick name. The theory about the french tourist game; and dispute over a goal intrigued me. Players asking the ref, “but oui, but oui”. Re pitches? Carlisle United have a pitch like a snooker table! All grass, so it can be done in a wet climate! I’d band the knee slide though! Make a yellow card offence.

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks for the comment mate, appreciate it! Yeah defo a yellow for ruining their pitch haha

[@scaffarobbo]

They are called the bully wee because in victorian times if someone or something were doing well they would say "bully for you" a common phrase was "bully the wee Clyde' because of our larger neighbours, this was rearranged into the bully wee or should I say the famous bully wee.

[@samuelmorrison6695]

If you have not been to Inverness yet, touching base with , the history of Inverness caley thistle, and also the other team, inverness clachnacuddin, who still play in the Highland league.

Great old fashioned stadium Shawfield, used to run my dogs there about the same time as the last years of Clyde playing there, Glasgow Tigers speedway team raced there as well before departing to Ashfield Greyhound stadium in the city. Hopefully Clyde can get back to a stadium in Glasgow some day.

[@StevieZero]

Thought Glasgow Tigers went to Blantyre

[@craigarnold2303]

Another brilliant video really informative and interesting. I know you're probably inundated with requests but would really like to see a video on Clydebank and their story, very similar to Wimbledons but tends to get forgotten. And imo what happened to them was worse. Keep up the good work 👍

Hey mate! What an educational video! Any chance you could do a more in depth video on Dunfermline? We've been through some tough times - going through administration and almost dying as a club but we have recently had a takeover by a group of wealthy Germans, who have some exciting plans for the development of the club in the future!

[@alanfox691]

Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland. Good video Sam very informative. You should 100% cover ether Livingston or Clydebank as they have similar history's to Clyde in both have been nomadic the same way Clyde have been. Livingston where originally could Ferranti Thistle do to the team being made up of workers from The Ferranti Electronics company they asked the owner for money for kits & a ball when they went to the shop to buy the kits I believe it was a Taylors shop they had absolutely no football kits left the only kits they had whare Rugby kits the shirts where amber & & black hooped shirt with white collars that is why even now as Livingston they play in Amber, black & white. Livingston them moved to Meadowbank Stadium a stones throw from Easter Road home of Hibernian the same way Clyde played in the shadows of Celtic Park They changed there name to Meadowbank Thistle as Edinburgh City Council need a permanent tenant for the Stadium after the Commonwealth games in Edinburgh then from there they where bought buy a consortium of ex Celtic boad members that had won the lottery & acquired land from West Lothian Council & built Amendvale Stadium in Livingston & changed there name to Livingston F.C. It was could Almondvale as the river Almond runs past the ground.

[@FootyAdventures]

Hi Alan, yeah I've got Livingston and Clydebank in my sights!

[@alanfox691]

@@FootyAdventures Between 2011 & 2013 I used to go & watch Livingston if I was though there as that is whare my ex came from so used to go with her Dad at times & I always bought a program that's how I learned so much about there history. Could be all day talking about Clydebank they have a tun of turbulent history from Davie Cooper playing for them to a proposed move to Dublin that never happened . You could say for a will Clyde F.C went to The Dogs lol.

Shawfield was a good place to go. Went there many times. Broadwood stadium is ok I suppose considering they needed their own stadium. It's like sleeping in a pigeon shed is better than sleeping on the streets or at a bus stop.

[@grdn2607]

On the plastic pitches I reckon every Scottish side will have them in the next 10 year bar maybe Celtic and Rangers. Not only do they prevent games being postponed, as part of the governments new school delvelopment plan all new schools built in Scotland have an astroturf pitch for the same reasons.( So kids can play football and sometimes other sports like Hockey year round) Most towns also have pitches for hire that are Astroturf too so I reckon with kids coming through the youth system that have played on Astro their whole life they will be a lot better suited to playing on it in the professional game as compared to the current players that many began playing in the 90s as kids. As a Killie fan we were an early adopter of the pitch and have been blamed for causing injury but it only started when we became a tougher top 6 side and were beating the old firm and Edinburgh clubs. The pitches are great in my opinion.
