Following on from my post earlier in the week we revisit Pollok for issue 10 of Fulton, One-nil from 1991, a #FloodlightFriday adventure and our 2nd Voyage of Discovery.

These are the days well before drones were even a twinkle in some idiot’s eye but we soon find out from the brilliant Harry Angel the reason such a superb photo is available as he jostles for space on the terraces with plane spotters. The terracing cover that looks like an aircraft hanger almost certainly is and one of the weird nickname are never fully explained.

More importantly sooner or later he confirms the presence of floodlights despite the terrifically bad photo from the fanzine being unclear. “A couple of incomplete sets of enclosed halogen holders with…most of them pointing skywards” Perhaps they doubled up as approach path lights for the airport. Better than the toilets anyway.

I’m happy to report that Holm Park lives on and has now been repurposed, is owned by It’s owned by West Dunbartonshire Council and administered by the Holm Park Community Football Academy which includes representatives of Clydebank, Yoker and West Dunbartonshire Council. Both Yoker and the phoenix club Clydebank, the Bankies, use it on a regular basis and it looks absolutely smashing in this photo that almost makes me glad that drones exist, with thanks to pixbypedro.

Google AI usefully tells me that “The stadium, shared with Yoker Athletic, has a capacity of around 1,200 (with 1,260 seats noted)” AI will kill us all, I’m warning you now. Found a couple of photos on google from real people (Thank you Mark Ferry) that also confirm an upgrade to the floodlights has been made and that it is still, unsurprisingly, on the flight path. Not sure there are 1,260 seats but still, it’s the floodlights we are here for.
