Took a trip up to Lochburn Park to see Maryhill FC today. I will admit I'm a Junior football virgin and wasn't sure what to expect. The game itself was easily worth the fiver entry though. Recent Partick Thistle home games haven't been worth that, despite the fifteen quid price tag. Maryhill won 3-0, two early second half goals from their imprssive No7 breaking a poor Bellshill side who could have played until midnight and not scored. Without wishing to sound like a West End pseud, there was also some decent banter and good shouts from the crowd. Top notch pies as well.
I hope to be back again soon. I've always promised myself I would only have one true love as far as supporting a football club is concerned and this is still the case, but I can see myself doing a bit of moonlighting here and there when things get too awful to bear at Firhill.**Cheers!
**Maryhill are currently third bottom of their league, so I'm probably not doing much to cheer myself up. I think I just need something to take my mind off the miserable, vaccum like atmosphere surrounding Thistle at the moment. It's all getting a bit poisonous for my liking.

hey ill man, i know little about football, except i have a passion for francesco totti, but i was born in bellshill (like most people in the west of scotland in the 60s, though the maternity hospital is now knocked down), & i am pleased they have a team, even if it's a junior one.
& belated happy birthday!
NMJ - Cheers!
I've come to realise over the years that some Junior sides are better run, have better facilities and get better crowds than some supposedly 'senior' clubs.
From what I know, Bellshill are in the middle of getting a new ground, though there seem to be a few problems along the way....
