Scottish Cup game at Pollock

Posted on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

The 1st XI have their final training session tomorrow before the trip through to Pollock on Saturday.  Co-managers Mike Lawson and Sam Lynch have both watched our opponents and have certainly been impressed.  Dan Gerrard, Kenny Young and Struan Preston are likely to be in the squad after being missing last Saturday, skipper Stewart Fowlie also made training last night and may also return.  

There are still a couple of spaces on the team bus and for those travelling by car/rail the following directions have been copied from the Pollock FC website.

A big crowd is expected so be early for the 3pm kick off.

 

 

How to get to Newlandsfield Park:

By Car: Newlandsfield Park is located just off Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands, Glasgow. Parking isn’t normally a problem in the streets near the ground. If you are coming from Glasgow city centre, head straight out of the city Southwards then once in Shawlands, turn right into Newlandsfield Road which is straight after Pollokshaws East station.

If coming from the M77, exit Junction 2 and follow the B762 through Pollok Country Park (back across the motorway if you’re coming from the South, otherwise a left turn at the top of the ramp). Pass under a railway bridge and at roundabout ahead take the 2nd exit into Nether Auldhouse Road. Take 3rd left into Auldhouse Road and follow to end. At end of Auldhouse Road, turn left onto Kilmarnock Road then left at the lights into Newlandsfield Road. The stadium is now visible.

By Train: Pollokshaws East station is adjacent to the park. Alternate services from Glasgow Central to Newton stop here among others, journey time is 10 minutes.
