Clydebank won with a goal in the opening minute. However I had just came in the ground, so missed it. I was late cos my bus crashed on the way there. Not surprising that a First bus I’m on finally crashes cos routinely they’re driven by bams. This, however wasn’t actually the bus driver’s fault. A woman went through a red light at a roundabout and banged into the side. This did though cause the driver to shout “Ya fuckin idiot!” at the obviously frightened lady driver. He followed this up with “Fuckin women!”
The attendance at the game was 786, which is quite good for a junior match. Having not been to a Clydebank game for a number of years I recognised a lot of people in the crowd. Most of whom have got fatter and/or greyer. They also seem to have employed former casuals as stewards.
The ground is basically one long bit of terracing, with some waste ground with cars parked on behind the goal. There was a reasonably large police presence what with a large travelling support and no segregation. There was at least one arrest that I saw.
The game itself wasn’t too bad. Having scored early on Clydebank didn’t really have another shot on goal and had their backs to the wall for most of the 90 minutes.
What the junior side has that the senior team never bothered with is a souvenir stand. You can now buy all manner of Clydebank related junk from team shirts to polo shirts, mugs to DVDs, T-shirts to car stickers.
