Clydeholm was afootball andgreyhound racing stadium inClydebank, Scotland. It was the home ground of the firstClydebank F.C. to play in theScottish Football League.
Clydebank F.C. was founded in 1914, and acquired a ten-year lease on a site directly to the west ofYoker railway station.[1] The new club was immediately elected into the Division Two of theScottish Football League, and the first SFL match was played at Clydeholm on 16 August 1914, a 3–1 win overEast Stirlingshire.
The ground's record league attendance of 22,000 was set for a match againstRangers on 13 November 1920, with the away team winning 4–2.[1] It was equalled for the home match against Rangers at the start of thefollowing season, with Rangers winning 7–1, Clydebank's record home defeat at the ground.[1]
In 1925 a new grandstand was erected on the south-western side of the pitch. A greyhound racing track was installed, with the first race taking place on 15 May 1930.[2] Clydebank resigned from the SFL in July 1931 – their final SFL match at Clydeholm was a 5–1 defeat byRaith Rovers on 25 April 1931.[1] Although the club folded in the same year, the ground continued to be used for greyhound racing. DuringWorld War II it was used to house a temporarymortuary, which was destroyed on the first night of theClydebank Blitz in March 1941.[3]
The final greyhound racing meeting took place on 28 November 1963.[4] The stadium was subsequently demolished and the site used to build a shopping centre and housing,[3] with one of the roads through it named Clydeholm Terrace.
