Clyde announce they will now train at New Douglas Park after Accies' exit
Clyde have announced they will train at New Douglas Park this season, following Hamilton Academical's move away from the venue. The Bully Wee are tenants at the facility - owned by Hamilton Stadium Limited and not Hamilton Accies FC - and will now be able to train at the venue in a move that offers "greater operational efficiency and a stable base as their pursue a home of their own." Advertisement Clyde previously trained at New Broomfield in Airdrie last season and Ochilview in Stenhousemuir for two seasons before that, as Hamilton's first team occupied the facilities for most of the week, so this will be a big boost for boss Darren Young and his players. Accies departed New Douglas Park last month amid a disagreement with the stadium owners over a potential sale and, ironically, they now intend to play at Clyde's former home at Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernauld. A club statement read: "Clyde FC is pleased to confirm that the team will train at New Douglas Park, now known as the Hamilton Community Stadium, for the duration of the 2025/26 season. This marks a significant step in streamlining the club's operations, as all footballing and off-field activities will now be based at a single venue. "The move ensures greater operational efficiency and provides a stable base as the club continues to pursue its long-term strategic goal of relocating to a permanent home of its own. Hamilton Community Stadium offers a high-quality environment that supports both the day-to-day needs of the club as well as the part time playing squad."
