Broadwood Stadium
Broadwood Stadium is a multi-use community stadium and sports complex in the Westfield area of Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire. The stadium is currently the home of Scottish League One side Hamilton Academical, as well as Cumbernauld Colts of the Scottish Lowland Football League, and Rangers W.F.C of the Scottish Women's Premier League.
It was the home stadium of Clyde from 1994 to 2022 and Broomhill for the 2022-23 season, during which the club was rebranded as Open Goal Broomhill. Glasgow City of the Scottish Women's Premier League shared the stadium for the 2020–21 season. The Scottish Rugby Academy for the Glasgow & The West region is based at Broadwood, and it is also home to the Cumbernauld Centurions BMX Club on the National Level BMX track.
Broadwood has staged the final of football's Scottish Challenge Cup on four occasions and Scottish rugby's Finals Day. The stadium has also held international Rugby league.
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 6,000 spectators. Clyde lost the game 3–0 against Hamilton Academical. At the time of opening only two stands, the Main Stand and the West Stand, had been completed, giving 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 site of the fourth stand was replaced by a community sports centre which opened in 2013.
The stadium 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.
It was announced in 2015 that Cumbernauld Colts would play senior games at the stadium having been accepted into the Scottish Lowland Football League.
Scottish Women's Premier League club Glasgow City played at Broadwood for the 2020–21 season due to the unavailability of their regular ground, Petershill Park.
