Since first partnering with Fanbase in 2022, we have made 18,700 sales on the platform across match tickets, season tickets, events and supporters’ buses. As one of the first clubs at our level to embrace digital ticketing, we were ahead of the curve in partnering with a platform now utilised at all levels in Scotland.

The Fanbase app has had a major update. To make sure your ticket works at the gate, you’ll need to download the latest version before you next attend.

Update the app on the App Store or Google Play now.

Here’s what has changed:

Faster ticket buying
Getting your ticket is now quicker than ever, with Apple Pay and Google Pay supported.
Your ticket works without signal
Your ticket is stored offline automatically. No signal at the ground? It’ll still scan at the gate.

 

After a bit of respite following a run of three away games to Dalbeattie, Newton Stewart and Brechin, we hit the road again on Saturday 12th September as we head to Raydale Park to face Gretna 2008.

Again, the club are running a supporters’ bus, and with Gretna Green station closed on this day, it is the easiest way to get down there!

We will be leaving Newlandsfield at 11:15 and returning soon after full time.

We are pleased to confirm that supporters’ buses have been arranged for four of our early-season away games to Dalbeattie, Newton Stewart, Brechin and Gretna.

The fixture gods have decided to send us to all three of our Dumfries and Galloway league away days by mid-September, and we have also been drawn to face Brechin City in the South Challenge Cup.

All buses will depart from Newlandsfield and departure times are subject to change. In the event of a change, all supporters booked will be notified.

Seats can be bought at the links below or by emailing info@pollokfc.com

• Dalbeattie Star – Saturday 1st August – 11:00 departure
• Newton Stewart – Saturday 8th August – 11:00 departure
• Brechin City – Saturday 15th August – 10:45 departure
• Gretna 2008 – Saturday 12th September – 11:15 departure

It should be noted that the club expects all supporters riding on these buses to behave in such a way that does not contravene our unacceptable conduct policy. We reserve the right to refuse future travel to supporters whose behaviour goes against this policy.

Ahead of our first pre-season friendly against Partick Thistle this Saturday, we would like to confirm the arrangements for supporters of both teams. Given the significant four-figure crowd expected, it has been necessary to make some changes to the usual matchday logistics at Newlandsfield. We ask supporters to follow these instructions, and appreciate your understanding as we look to ensure the match runs smoothly. Please direct any questions to info@pollokfc.com

Home Supporters

Home supporters and neutrals should enter via the gate on Newlandsfield Road between Loks and Morrisons. Members should enter through the members’ gate as usual, which can also be used by home supporters who are unable to use the stairs at the main gate. Our fans are asked to stand along the covered enclosure side and behind the Newlandsfield Road goals.

Toilets and the pie hut can be accessed as normal. Cash and card will be accepted at the pie hut.

Please have digital tickets ready to scan when you reach the turnstile to minimise delays. There will be a cash gate in operation for home supporters, but in the event of the ground reaching capacity this will cease.

Away Aupporters

Away supporters should enter through the main turnstiles at Newburgh Street, and watch the match from the pitch-side terrace to the right as you enter and behind the far-side goal. Toilets are located outside the pavilion, and food and drink will be available to purchase from the stall in front of the pavilion. Cash and card will be accepted.

Admission for away fans will be by ticket only, and tickets are still available online. Please have digital tickets ready to scan when you reach the turnstile to minimise delays.

Alcohol and pyrotechnics

As always, alcohol and pyrotechnic devices/fireworks are strictly prohibited. Stewards will be carrying out bag searches at the entrances and those found in possession of such items may be refused entry or ejected from the ground.

Entry/re-entry to the ground

Given the anticipated high attendance for this game, there will be no re-entry to the ground if you leave at any point. This applies to both home and away fans. If you choose to leave for whatever reason, then stewards will not permit you to re-enter. When our capacity was confirmed as 2088 in September 2023, we reserved the right to reimpose the restriction on entry/exit re-entry in the event of a crowd nearing capacity.

Merchandise

There will be no merchandise for sale at this match, and orders will not be available for pick up, as stated on the article launching both new kits. The next opportunity to buy kit in person or pick up orders will be at our friendly match against East Stirlingshire on Saturday 18th July.

Pollok FC are delighted to confirm that we will be continuing our partnership with David Cox Butchers for season 26-27 who will now be supplying our pie hut!

The award-winning butcher, with shops in Bridgeton, Kings Park, Gorbals and on Minard Road in Shawlands, began supplying our hospitality customers with pies last season, and we are delighted to confirm that these will be available to all supporters going forward!

On top of supplying the pie hut, David Cox Butchers have also sponsored the sleeve of our new home kit!

We are very grateful to George and the team at David Cox Butchers for their support, and look forward to working with them this season.

Whet your appetite for Saturday’s game with our new pie hut menu below:

 

We are delighted to reveal our new away kit for the 26-27 season, produced by Joma and provided by Only Sport.

We have went for a retro feel, with a bold white collar which stands out against a purple shade, harking back to our popular away kit from 2023.

For the sixth consecutive season, our title sponsor Westpoint Homes features on the front of the jersey, while we are again supported by supporters group Los Pollok Hermanos and Unite the Union!

Replica shirts are now available to order online for dispatch this week, priced at £45 for adults and £40 for junior sizes.

Please note that replica shirts only feature Westpoint Homes and not the other sponsors. There will be no physical sale or pick-up at the Partick Thistle game, but this will be offered for later home friendlies.

Our iconic black and white stripes are reimagined with a modern twist, creating an eye-catching design which stands out on the pitch, but remains quintessentially Pollok.

For the sixth consecutive season, our title sponsor Westpoint Homes features on the front of the jersey, while we welcome new sponsors David Cox Butchers and McGowan Civils on the sleeves and Hutcheson Financial Planning on the back. Back for a second season is Milne Security Services who are also on the back of the shirt.

Replica shirts are now available to order online for dispatch this week, priced at £45 for adults and £40 for junior sizes.

We are also now able to offer player sponsorship opportunities for our home kit, also available via our online store.

Season 26-27 is five weeks away, and after a fantastic second half of last season we will be making our debut in the new Lowland League West which sits at Tier 5 in the Scottish Football Pyramid, one rung down from SPFL League 2.

Who is in our league?

The league will consist of seventeen teams, and we will play each of them home and away. Our opponents are a combination of teams promoted alongside us from the West of Scotland Premier Division, a pair from the South of Scotland League, an old SPFL stalwart, one ‘guest club’, a ‘phoenix club’ and some other newer teams whom we will meet for the first time:

• Albion Rovers
• Auchinleck Talbot
• Beith Juniors
• Caledonian Braves
• Celtic ‘B’
• Clydebank
• Cumbernauld Colts
• Cumnock Juniors
• Dalbeattie Star
• Gretna 2008
• Johnstone Burgh
• Kilwinning Rangers
• Largs Thistle
• Newton Stewart
• Pollok
• Renfrew
• Troon

Fixtures

We expect to receive our fixtures for the new season by early July, and one thing that will be apparent to supporters is how rigid this list will be. As every club in the Lowland League is licensed, this means there will be no member club not competing in the Scottish Cup. As a result, there are no league fixtures scheduled on the dates of the earlier rounds, and this is also the case for the South Region Challenge Cup. This avoids the situation seen in recent years where progress in cups led to the regular rescheduling of league fixtures, and should keep clubs on a more equal number of games played throughout the season. If you advance deeply in cups, particularly the Scottish Cup, then there may be some movement, but not on the scale we have been used to. This also gives the club greater certainty in selling matchday hopsitality as we have been caught out several times in recent years when matches were moved at short notice.

Saturday matches will now kick off at 3 o’clock, which is why all of our home pre-season matches will be kicking off at that time to get everyone used to the later start! Our midweek matches, will kick-off at 7:30 on a Wednesday for home games, while away matches could be either a Tuesday or Wednesday. There is also the possibility that matches away to clubs with a groundshare arrangement may be played on a Friday.

Cup competitions

The Scottish FA Cup will now begin with three preliminary rounds, but we will enter it after these at the First Round stage. This will mean a later start to this competition than we are used to, with that round being played in October.

The Lowland League Cup will take the place of the West of Scotland Football League Cup in our schedules, and includes every side from the Lowland League East and Lowland League West, apart from Celtic B. The first round will be seeded to make sure each club plays one from the opposite league, so we will start off by playing a Lowland League East side. The current holders are Cumbernauld Colts, and this season’s edition will begin in November.

The South Region Challenge Cup will run as it has done in previous seasons, with the early rounds being played on weekends set aside for these matches.

As members of the Scottish Communities FA, we will again play in the Scottish Community FA Cup, formerly known as the Scottish Junior Cup. This competition will not have weekends set aside for it, so matches will likely be played midweek.

Promotion

In order to achieve promotion to SPFL League 2, clubs must have an SFA Bronze license. As it stands, only two clubs in the Lowland League West have this. The winner of our league, assuming they are Bronze licensed, would enter a round-robin tournament with the champions of the Lowland League East and Highland League, again assuming they are Bronze licensed. The winner of this would then take part in a two-legged play-off against ‘Club 42’ – the bottom club in SPFL League 2 for a place in the SPFL.

Admission Prices

We have chosen to freeze our own prices at £10 for adults, £6 for concessions and free for under-12s with a paying adult. We are likely to be among the lowest in the league, if not the lowest, with some clubs announcing small increases to £12/£8 while another is charging £15. Season ticket and membership prices will also stay the same.

 

With pre-season ground works continuing, we are in need of supporters to help us tidy the area around the pitch, and the clubhouse over the next couple of weekends.

Jobs include weeding, brushing, cleaning and anything else that may need spruced up!
