14th September 2019 Ground Number: 31 Ground: Broadwood Stadium, Cumbernaukd Home of: Clyde FC Match: Clyde V Stanraer Score: 6-1 Attendance: 753 Well what a match. Just like that Broadwood takes the "highest scoring match" crown from Sheilfield Park which, up til now, had held that particular record!

The club have been playing here since 1895 and as such there's a real mix of the old and the new here but we'll get to that soon. First, despite all the planning in the world, you just cant plan for horrific traffic! It was a real challenge reaching Fir Park and it soon became clear we were going to miss kick off. I don't know about you but I really HATE missing kick off! I love the build up to a game and the atmosphere etc. In the end we decided just to drive directly towards the ground and chance our luck to see how close we could get parked. Our luck was very much in it would appear as we got park right at the ground. Here's the view from our parking space! P
