WEST OF SCOTLAND FOOTBALL CHARITY CUP

Holm Park, Dock Street, Clydebank G81 1XL

SATURDAY 19th JULY 2025 – KICK OFF 2pm

CLYDEBANK FC v AUCHINLECK TALBOT FC

Admission: Adults £10; Concessions £5; Kids u16 free if accompanied by an adult.

Parties (youth teams/clubs) need to be pre-arrange by e-mailing [email protected] detailing the

name of the party, number of children and adults, with one designated adult paying the admission charge for all adults in the party. For all parties there must be a ratio of 1 adult to 5 children. Adults should remain with their party at all times.

Match Tickets: Entry to the match will be available to purchase before the match on FANBASE, accessible via the following link:

https://app.fanbaseclub.com/Fan/Tickets/SelectType?fixtureId=12553

There will be a cash gate available but for ease of entry tickets purchased in advance would be preferable. If paying by cash, please ask all supporters to have the correct entry money ready as this will smooth the transition of spectators through the turnstiles.

Turnstiles: Fans should enter via the main turnstiles. There will be separate turnstiles for Fanbase tickets and cash.

SPECTATOR BEHAVIOUR

Naturally spectators will be eager to support their team. Whilst we want to facilitate the spectator enjoyment of the occasion, it must be recognised that Holm Park is an SFA licensed ground and as a result the following conditions apply. Alcohol: The controls over carrying and consuming alcohol are set out in Part II of the Criminal Law

(Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995.

This law makes it illegal for spectators to:

• be in possession of alcohol or a controlled container or attempt to take alcohol into the stadium
• attempt to enter while drunk, or be drunk within the stadium; and
• carry or consume alcohol on a coach or train specifically hired for the carrying for supporters to a designated event at a designated ground

Any spectator attempting to enter the stadium under the influence of alcohol or found to be in possession of alcohol within the stadium, will be refused entry or ejected from the stadium.

Pyrotechnics, Flares or Smoke Bombs: It is illegal to have pyrotechnics of any kind inside a football stadium and under the Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Articles (Scotland) Act 2022. Anyone attempting to take any such items into the stadium will be refused entry and anyone using them inside the stadium will be ejected from the stadium.

Pitch Invasions

Spectators should remain behind the pitch boundary within the confines of the stand at all times. It is illegal for spectators to encroach onto the pitch under the Football (Offences) Act 1991.

Any encroachment onto the field will be dealt with accordingly. In recent years there has been a rise of spectators, particularly of the winning team, to invade the park to celebrate their success. Such behaviour will not be permitted and may prevent the official presentation of the trophy to the winning side.

Please note that in terms of the use of any form of Pyrotechnics, or on field pitch encroachment by spectators, the Club will be held responsible for the conduct of their supporters and may face disciplinary action as a result of any breach.

Talbot were quick off the mark in announcing a decent pre-season schedule before the 2025/26 campaign goes into full swing. They face daunting trips to Lowland League sides Linlithgow Rose and Clydebank while taking on the local first division sides in the remaining fixtures.

The friendlies kick off with the visit of Kilbirnie Ladeside to Beechwood on the 7th July with a 2pm start. The “Blasties” are currently managed by Ex-Talbot player Colin Spence who is backed up by another Ex-Talbot favourite Willie Lyle. A right pair of legends who will be looking forward to a return to a ground where they were worshipped.

On Wednesday the 9th of July Talbot host Irvine Meadow with a 7.30 kick off. With the Talbot well in advance in their signings it will give Meadow manager Jamie McKim a chance to try out his new players as the Meadow battle to get back amongst the top flight once again.

Saturday the 12th of July has Talbot on the road to Lowland League side Linlithgow Rose who we had many a ding dong battle with during their time in the Juniors including two Scottish Cup finals where both sides have a share of the bragging rights. The Rose finished a creditable fifth in last season’s Lowland League as well as winning the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup beating Dunbar United 2-1 in the final. Prestonfield is an excellent ground to visit and well worth the trip.

Wednesday the 16th July see’s Ardrossan Winton Rovers visit Beechwood with a 7.30pm start and after securing their position in the WOSL 1st Division Gavin Friels and Chris McGowan will be looking for a better result than the last time both sides met in a friendly back in December last year where the “Bot” ran out 6-0 winners.

Put the 19th July into your calendar as we embark on the first ever WOSL Charity Cup final when we visit Clydebank with a 2pm kickoff. This is the first season of this cup where the WOSL Champions take on the WOSL League Cup winners, all in the aid of charity. Clydebank will be desperate to scoot through the Lowland League at the first attempt or face teaming up with some old foe’s as the new LL West comes into play during the 2026/27 season.
