adamntg Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 technically speaking Clydebank were re-branded as Airdrie United And are now Airdrieonians again. They can't both have vanished. Clydebank, Gretna and Rangers didn't really vanish either. New clubs with those names are playing at various lower levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Shed Jaggie Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Caledonian fc only. Never had the Inverness prefix. Even bigger pedant alert. I think Caley had the Inverness prefix up to early to mid 80s. During Scottish cup runs the club name was abbreviated on the BBC vidiprinter to Inverness C causing confusion as to whether it was referring to Caledonian or Clachnacuddin. Us proper Invernessians up the hill would never drop Inverness from our club name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock strap Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Watched this programme, really enjoyed it. Felt sorry for the kit man in the end, seemed like a genuine care for the community man who loved his wee club. Not quite rags to riches but non league to Europe in a few years was brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My grandad played for St. Bernard's. Looks like they had a big following at turn of 20th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Were meadowbank not rebranded as livingston? I mind going to meadowbank with the big scoreboard. Meadowbank "moved" to Livingston and changed their name. Edinburgh City in the Lowland league now play at Meadowbank Stadium. Top of the league at the moment.

Felt sorry for the kit man in the end, seemed like a genuine care for the community man who loved his wee club. Not quite rags to riches but non league to Europe in a few years was brilliant You'll be delighted to hear I shouted at the TV when they showed James Grady's peach against the Dons in the 04/05 Scottish Cup 1/4 final for Utd. He scored a similar one against us for Thistle at Firhill as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us proper Invernessians up the hill would never drop Inverness from our club name Certainly didn't have it officially. I dare say the BBC would have prefixed it with Inverness for the sake of the hard of thinking. I am amazed they didn't think of tagging on Kirkcaldy to explain where Raith Rovers came from, as it seemed to create plenty of confusion when they used to "dance on the streets of Raith".

adamntg Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Raith is an area of Kirkcaldy. It's not really that funny a faux pas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
