Broadwood Stadium, also referred to as simply Broadwood, is a multi-use community stadium and sports complex situated in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The stadium was opened in 1994 and since then has been the home venue of Clyde F.C., Cumbernauld Colts F.C. and the home of BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy, Glasgow and the West since 2015. It has staged the final of Scottish footballs' Scottish Challenge Cup on four occasions and Scottish rugbys' RBS Finals Day〔http://www.scottishrugby.org/news/14/03/06/rbs-finals-day-moves-venue〕 as well as numerous representative fixtures for both codes. ==Football== Clyde previously played in Glasgow at Barrowfield Park, from their creation in 1877 until 1898, and then Shawfield Stadium from 1898 until they were evicted in 1986. Clyde shared Firhill with fierce rivals Partick Thistle from 1986 until 1991, and then Douglas Park with Hamilton Academical until moving to the purpose built Broadwood in 1994.〔 The move to Broadwood, 10 miles outside Glasgow,〔 meant that the club would lose some fans in the move, but hoped to gain some new supporters in the new town of Cumbernauld, which had never hosted senior football before. The stadium opened to the public in February 1994 to a full house at that time, of 6000 fans. Clyde lost the game 2–0 against Hamilton Academical. At the time of opening, only two stands, the Main Stand and the West Stand, had been completed, giving the stadium a capacity of 6,000. The third, South Stand was completed in 1997 to bring the overall capacity to just over 8,000. Plans to complete the stadium, and bring the overall capacity to 10,000 were shelved after Clyde failed to win promotion to the Scottish Premier League in 2004. The missing forth stand has now been replaced by a community sports centre, and opened in 2013. It also previously hosted another Scottish League club, Airdrieonians, between 1994 and 1998. Broadwood also formerly hosted Rangers reserve team matches on a regular basis. Broadwood has hosted many Scotland U-21 matches. Broadwood was the scene of a giant Scottish Cup shock in 2006, when Clyde beat holders Celtic 2–1. Broadwood has also hosted four Scottish Challenge Cup finals. From 2015, Cumbernauld Colts will play senior games at the stadium having been accepted into the Scottish Lowland Football League. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broadwood Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
