Lanarkshire / Re: Strathclyde football team?
« on: Sunday 05 May 13 11:19 BST (UK)  »
As per the suggestion from dixons Strathclyde were three times Scottish Junior Cup Winners
also losing finalists to Kilwinning Rangers in 1907/8.
The club ground was Springfield Park which housed an estimated 19,000 crowd to a 5th round
Scottish Cup replay with Irvine Meadow in 1947/48. Turnstile entrance was at Silverdale Street
(adjacent to Belvidere Hospital and not far from Celtic Park). They had earlier had a ground by
the name of Beechwood from which they moved to Springfield Park in the 1920's.
All accomodation at Springfield was destroyed in a huge fire in 1965 from which the club was
unable to recover.

I am  former office-bearer of Strathclyde F.C. ( instituted in 1886, closed 1965 following fire damage).
It is possible that Fionas ancester may have played for the club but all records were unfortunately
destroyed in the fire.
There is a photograph of Strathclyde F.C. (1896) on view at the Scottish Football Museum, Hampden Park
