CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 Clydebank FC Honours The Boss……………... Looking back on our last 2 games in the League cup section, Yoker and Perthshire, I thought we HONOURS HONOURS SENIOR HONOURS played reasonably well in both games but the second half of the Perthshire game was particularly pleasing as I thought the players kept our opponents on the back foot for the majority of the 45 Scottish Junior Cup Intermediate Cup SFL Division 2 mins. No matter the opposition, that is not easy to do. Winners : 1941-42 Winners : 1929-30 Champions : 1975/76 At the end of it all, we again qualified for the knockout stages with relative ease and despite some Runners-Up : 2008-09 Central League SFL Division 2 people’s view of this competition, I am more than happy to reach the latter stages of any cup. While I appreciate the challenges, selection issues and priorities that managers encounter at this time of Sectional League Cup Champions : Runners-Up : 1997/98 the year, I can never understand or agree with the logic of anyone who participates in a competition Winners : 2013-14 1934-35,1940-41,1941-42, Spring Cup and doesn’t attempt to win it or treats it with a lack of respect! We now face a tricky quarter-final tie at Wishaw which we played on Wednesday night and hopefully that result will set us up for today’s Runners-Up : 2005-06 1944-45,1949-50. Runners-Up : 1975/76 encounter in a positive mood. Central League Cup Intermediate League Stirlingshire Cup Our first game of the league season sees us welcoming last season’s Junior finalists Glenafton to Holm Park and of course included in their party will be ex Bankies Tommy Bryce and Winners : 1932-33,1934-35, Winners : 1929-30 Winners : 1978/79 & 1979/80 Adam Strachan. Although we took full points from last season’s league fixture against the South 2009-10, 2011-12, 2013-14 Pompey Cup Scottish Cup Semi-Finalists Ayrshire outfit on their own patch, the return game towards the end of the season was very disap- 1989/90 pointing from our point of view not only due to the result but I thought our general performance that West of Cup Winners : 1951-52,1960-61 day was below par. It is always good if you can get your league campaign off to a positive start Junior Record Victory Winners : 1949-50 Evening Times Cup therefore hopefully we can manage to secure the 3 points on offer from this game. 9-1 v Thorniewood I also think that this seasons Premier League could potentially be the most competitive for many Runners-Up : 1938-39,1955-56 Winners : 1934-35,1940- years so it is imperative to get as many points on the board early. 41,1941-42,1944-45, 1949-50.

4 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 33 Chairman’s Chat The opening day of the League season is one of the best in the football calendar. It's when everything seems possible for your team. Here at Clydebank, we've had another positive pre-season and at the time of writing, the Sectional League Cup has gone well. If Wish Bankies we managed to negotiate the tricky away tie at Wishaw on Wednesday reclassify that as all the best 'very well'. for season So we go into today's match full of hope for what is to come, but we are not the only ones. 2014-2015 Our guests today, Glenafton Athletic, managed by one of the Bankies' best ever players Tommy Bryce, will also be optimistic for the season ahead. Glenafton reached the Scottish Junior Cup final last term and finished the league campaign strongly, including a very im- pressive win over us in the run-in. It all means that today's match has all the ingredients to be a cracker. Let's hope that's how it turns out. Wednesday night's Scottish Junior Cup first round draw paired us with Colony Park from the North Region. Never has a draw been so divisive! Supporters can't wait for a great day out while some at the club, most notably our treasurer, Bill, could be heard screaming Nawwww!!! at the thought of the financial hit of such a tie. The other negative is that on the football side of things we are playing a team we know nothing about. That said, as much as I don't much like the thought of a four-hour journey to Inverurie, it does throw up the prospect of a good day out for our fans - and everyone else - after the match is out the way. And of course, for those of you who like omens in football, the last time we were in that part of the world - against Formartine - we made it all the way to the final.

Please give the players your best support And enjoy the match

6 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 31 ‘Proud To Be a Bankie’ On this page we put the spotlight on a Bankies fan, this week it’s the turn of Billy Stewart

How long have you been a Bankies fan? Started going to games in the 60s became a season ticket holder early 1980s

Do you remember your first game? 4-1 home loss to Hamilton in the 60s. The thing I remember most are the guys in red & white scarves celebrating. I did not realise they were Accies fans as they were of course in their away strip.

What is your most memorable match and why? Celtic, in the Scottish cup semi back in 1990. So close to the big one. And for the current team, Johnstone Burgh away, pre season friendly. First game back

What's your most disappointing moment following Bankies? See Celtic answer above, for a game point of view and off the field , the tears shed when AUFC took over.

Best player you've seen in a Bankies jersey? Gerry McCabe - genius.

Favourite Bankies goal? Ken Eadie v Hearts, midweek under the Kilbowie floodlights. Simple cross, simple header but the Hearts defence and keeper were all current Scottish internationalists. GERRY McCABE

Favourite all time Bankies strip? Peru style from the 60s.

Reverse the result of one Bankies match you wish had turned out different? Again, the Celtic match in the Scottish semi, or 2-2 away to Alloa when 2-0 up. Often wonder if we would still be in the Seniors if we had not thrown away promo- tion that year.

How much do you look forward to getting our own home to play in? The main thing for the future of the club. Leaving Kilbowie was the start of a slow death.

CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 30 7 ‘Proud To Be a Bankie’. cont’d Shirt Sponsorship 14-15 Best thing about where we are today? The family that is Clydebank FC.

And of course the worst? No home of our own. 1 What's your prediction about how we will do this season? 2 3 4 5 4th after pushing for Top 2 much of the season.

24 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 CLYDEBANK FC OFFICIAL MATCH PROGRAMME SEASON 2014-15 13 Match From The Past Glenafton Athletic 0 Clydebank 3 ( February 12th 2011 - Super League First Division)

Stevie Dymock ended his goal drought with a brace of goals as he helped to crush Glenafton at Loch Park in a superb 3-0 victory that returned the Bankies to the top of the league table.

Clydebank controlled the opening exchanges in a pleasant day at Loch Park, with the sun making a rare appearance this year. Within the opening few minutes Murray had an effort on goal, then MacKinnon produced one of his dangerous runs, and he could have had a penalty but tried to ride the tackle and he ultimately lost control of the ball. It was no surprise that it was MacKinnon who was pulling the strings for the Bankies and he almost opened the scoring after fifteen minutes when his rasping right foot shot was quite superbly touched on to the cross bar by Semple.

Glenafton have been improving recently after a poor start to their league campaign and they came up with a couple of long range efforts from McBride, and Ex Bankie Stevie Docherty.

With 27 minutes on the clock, Mark Hailstones challenged for a looping high ball into the box. The ball broke nicely for Stevie Dymock who shot first time against the Goalkeepers right hand post. There was a second of hesitancy amongst the support before the ball spun into the other corner of the net ending Dymock’s goal drought that dates back to the opening day of the season. Two minutes later and the Bankies doubled their lead. Ross Campbell rose above the Glens to defence to bullet home a header at the near post from a corner kick.

Hailstones then tried to chip the keeper from 25 yards, as he had no other options ahead of him, but the ball drifted harmlessly over the top of the goal. Glenafton made a change at the break replacing their left back who was given a torrid time by Allum, Hailstones and MacKinnon. It made no difference as the Bankies went three up within minutes of the restart. Stevie Dymock timed his run to perfection as he broke Glenafton’s offside trap. Bearing down on goal, Dymock drew the goalkeeper from his line before superbly stroking the ball into the corner of the net.

Stevie Dymock could have set up a fourth goal for Hailstones, but the smell of a hat trick was too much for him and he tried to go on his own instead of squaring the ball to his unmarked team mate. He lost control of the ball, and it was his last piece of the action as his good day’s work ended with McPherson replacing him from the subs bench. Ten man Glenafton may have grabbed a late consolation when a header from a corner kick looped over Liam Campbell, however Tommy Martin was on hand at the back post to head away. Clydebank comfortably saw out time to record possibly their best result of the season. This was the response demanded by the supporters after the damaging home defeat by Hurlford the previous week.

Clydebank : Campbell, Allum, McMenamin, Moffat, Campbell, Crawford, Murray, Martin, MacKinnon, Dymock and Hailstones. Subs : McComish, McPherson, Green.

Scorers : Dymock 2 and Ross Campbell.
