Supporter Info – Lok v Talbot

We can’t wait to welcome fans back to Newlandsfield this Saturday. Here’s a bit of housekeeping and we’d ask supporters to be respectful of the below;

  • The covered enclosure will be off-limits to fans, this area is to allocated for home and away teams as there is no changing room access. Please allow for weather.
  • Please arrive in plenty of time and ONLY attend if you have a ticket. Without a ticket no one will be allowed into the ground.
  • If you have any Covid symptoms on the game day or are isolating please do not attend.
  • Social distancing will be encouraged where possible

Pre-season schedule takes shape

The Pollok FC shutdown begins to come to an end with the news that the first confirmed friendlies are now firmly in the diary, Covid-interference apart. The club have lined up three attractive non-league sides for us to face at Newlandsfield, with Auchinleck Talbot first up on June 19th, kick off 2pm. Linlithgow Rose come along the M8 for a midweek kick-off on June 23rd (7pm) while the third confirmed game sees Arthurlie visit for a 2.30pm kick off on Saturday 26th June.

Keep an eye on the usual social media channels for further news from the club.

Sinnott 25

Earlier this week Pollok FC sent a ‘Sinnott 25’ shirt as part of the campaign of the same name to raise money for Sports Relief in tribute to Jordan Sinnott, a 25-year-old non-league footballer who was murdered last weekend. Clubs up and down the country have been posting to social media their own contributions to the campaign, the idea of Welsh international keeper, and Sinnott’s best friend, Danny Ward.

Potential bus to Forres

The club is looking into the possibility of running a bus to Forres, but there will need to be a certain level interest to make it viable. It is too early to be able to look at pricing but a full bus is likely to be cheaper per head than one only half full.

If you are interested in taking up the opportunity to travel by bus up to Forres (game date is 28th September), please email the below ASAP:

Match reporter wanted

The Pollok FC website and official matchday programme seeks a keen and reliable match reporter to cover games. The ideal candidate will be able to attend the vast majority of Lok games, home and away, have a firm and confident grasp of written English (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and be able to submit written copy via email within a reasonable timeframe. This is a voluntary position but does offer a platform to showcase your work.

Please submit any expressions of interest to: info@pollokfc.com

Home tie for Lok vs. Rosyth

In this evening’s Macron Scottish Junior Cup 5th Round draw, Pollok were pulled out of the hat at home to East Region side Rosyth. The Fifers have had a difficult 2018-19 thus far and find themselves at present towards the foot of the East Region South Division table with 12 points from 11 games. They have had more joy in cup ties so far, winning last weekend at home to West Calder United in their Thorntons East League Cup group stage match. They also managed to hit double figures back in September in the DJ Laing East Region Cup at home to Coupar Angus, running out 12-1 winners. This is their first season at a new home – Lok played them (and won) at the now vacated Recreation Park in the Ronnie Lowrie era. They now play at the Fleet Grounds, should a replay be required.

Full draw (ties due 26th January 2019)

Girvan v Clydebank
Craigmark Burntonians v Lochee United
Kilwinning Rangers v Thornton Hibs or Renfrew
Largs Thistle v St. Rochs
Cambuslang Rangers v Troon
Rossvale v Hurlford United
Blantyre Victoria or Auchinleck Talbot v Rutherglen Glencairn
Pollok v Rosyth
