Supporters club for newton (cambuslang)

[The hunter2]

Following on from a thread from last week and someone looking for a bus in cambuslang, it looked like there could be 1 or 2 people in the newton area looking for a supporters bus, ive been in touch with another poster on FF and we both think theres potential for a bus. Just now all im asking if theres anyone from newton or surrounding areas that might be interested then get in touch please? At the moment im just looking for interest then we can take it from there

 

[samoflange]

[First Touch In Europe]

Definitely interested in this and willing to help where I can.

 

[GMC1]

Drumsagard I stay. Keep me in the loop with it. Usually just get train and subway to the games

 

[Tormusk1872]

Great stuff, Newton was once a small mining village at edge of Cambuslang. It used to have an Orange Band, which I believe fell by the way side in the early 80’s. Practically no one lived there after the mines went and Hallside Steelworks closed.

Now about 4000 new houses have been built on farmland and you would imagine there is plenty of scope for another Supporters Club in Cambuslang.

 

[Bk1987]

I stay in newton and like the idea!

 

[Bluegirl81]

I stay in newton and get the train to the games. Would definitely be interested in a supporters bus.

 

[clubdeckcharlie]

Good luck.

 

[OohAhHuistra]

All the best but remember it’s hard work running a bus.

 

[Ayrgaza]

Best of luck mate.

I wouldn't consider where I am Republican, quite a few bears around me, but I hate the fuken place and don't associate with many of them.

If you mean the metal fabrications place, then yeah, I'm near it.

The place that used have the big crane? Feckers would fly a big tri-colour from that.

Worked in those houses down that end, well before the new builds went up. Between there and the Scottish Specials at Mill Road there were quite a few who adorned their houses with assorted IRA stuff. It certainly had a reputation for it.

I know the crane you're talking about, not been seen in years mate.

 

[GMC1]

What's the plan for Saturday? Mini bus leave from the Newton Arms around half 1?

 

[The Ian Ferguson dvd]

I'm at the 'bottom' end of drumsagard, toward to station. Would be interested mate. Go with my bro and dad though, who are elsewhere in camby and Rutherglen. But I'll keep an eye on here for developments.

Sounds like a plan mate. Saturday 3oclock kick off by the looks of it aswell

The way this thread is going, you might need a double decker bus, mate. Good luck, Bears !

The interest has been good mate, going to leave it a few more days to see if theres any more interest

There was hardly any mentally challengeds in the Scottish Specials in Halfway. It was at least 90% bluenose.

What's the numbers at just now mate? Roughly how many we talking?

Ive not counted yet mate but its been good, theres also people that dont post on here showing an interest, think it could be rounabout the 30 mark

That's decent mate didn't think it would have been that many. I was thinking around 10 people maximum

So was i, but will have a better idea at the weekend. The potential for newton is massive due to the size of the place now

Yes I know mate. They're still building houses aswell so it's only going to get bigger

Good on you mate, just try and get it on its feet and running steadily-remember there will be a lot of people/potential who won’t “sign up” straight away but be looking on to see if it’s reliable etc.

I know of the area and think it’s got great potential as stated-all the best.

 

[ibroxbound]

Are you registering the club at Ibrox if it takes off?

As long as i can get 12 people to join straight away then i can get in registred with rangers which is a start

 

[The hunter2]

Yes mate, already emailed them to get the forms sent

I was brought up there. I don’t know about 90% but definitely more of us than them

Good luck with it mate.

 

[The hunter2]

Good luck with it mate.

Very early stages but will see where it takes us

 

[Tormusk1872]

When it was first built the Specials were at least 90%.

The vast majority of Halfway and Cambuslang was loyal and true until the 1980’s. Newton even moreso when the old village existed.

Since then there has been a creep of mentally challengedness in the area to the extent that the once staunch Tudor Inn runs a popish bus to the scum hut. The only beggars you would find back in the day we’re lying in their own pish in the Miners Welfare, or the Shamrock and Petrol Bomb as my mate’s old man used to call it. The odd other rattler in the Sun Inn was generally tolerated as they kept shtum.

Halfway is probably 50:50 these days which saddens me. Another example of, ‘well you let one in.....’

The Specials assisted in topping the balance in favour of the good guys in the area.

In the early 80’s there was a Celtic bus that left the Tudor (Halfway to Paradise CSC). This bus lasted only for two home games until some bam slashed the coaches seats.

The Halfway Rangers bus left Glen St at the Coop as well as a mini bus from the Sun Inn.

In the 70’s/80’s The Sun Inn was majority prods, the Ingleneuk the same, the Bowling Club about 90% blue, the Tudor 50/50, the Miners 33/66 to tims and the Stag about 75% blue.
