Kilbowie Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kilbowie Park, also known as New Kilbowie Park, was a football stadium in Clydebank, Scotland. It was the home ground of Clydebank F.C..
[edit] History
The old ground was formerly the home of Clydebank Juniors before Clydebank F.C. gained senior status in 1966.
The final game there was the testimonial match of all time top scorer Ken Eadie, with Rangers the visitors. The record crowd at Kilbowie was 14,900 for the visit of Hibernian.
Today the site of the stadium belongs to the Clyde Shopping Centre, where a Pound Stretchers and a McDonalds has been built over the park. A single piece of rubble of the old stadium is now on view at the Scottish Football Museum in Hampden Park.
Clydebank now play at Glenhead Park in Duntocher whilst competing in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association. Glenhead was the former home of Duntocher Hibs who are now defunct. The ground is known as The Hibby as a result, despite being now owned by Drumchapel Amateurs
