Clyde enjoy double boost as cash deficit eases amid win over Forfar

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Clyde enjoyed a double boost this past week after picking up a vital league win and moving less than £4000 away from achieving a £55k total that will stave off the threat of administration.It was reported a week ago that the League Two club were in serious trouble, and launched a gofundme in a bid to claw in cash through supporters and donors.That total has reached £51,200 and they’re just £3,800 away from safety.It was declared during a board meeting in August that the club’s deficit was £200,000, but donors contributed £135,000, including £15k from supporters, to reduce the gap.On the pitch, the Bully Wee moved up to eighth in League Two with a 2-0 win over Forfar Athletic on Saturday.Jordan Allan got Clyde off the mark just two minutes into the New Douglas Park clash, with Martin Rennie adding a clinching second, 20 minutes from time.Boss Darren Young wasn’t happy, though and said: “It’s probably the poorest since I’ve been in, performance-wise.

We got a good start to the game, went a goal up, and then it was very cagey, with the situation, and it is a massive game.“To get the three points, the clean sheet and the win is the main thing.

We managed to grind out a result.“It makes it a slightly easier Christmas, but it’s only three points, we’re not going to get carried away or too excited.”Defender Paul McKay has been ruled out for “four or five weeks” with a hamstring injury as Clyde prepare for a trip to Stranraer on Saturday.Young said: “We’re sitting there with about eight injuries, and it’s not ideal.
