    It is well documented that supporting any football club home and away requires a deep emotional connection. Describing the love-hate relationship between a die-hard supporter and a team that consistently disappoints to anyone outwith the football bubble is met by scoffs, questions and rolled eyes.

    The Kings of the County – Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic – 30/10/2021

    ‘The Kilby Boys Making All The Noise’ – East Kilbride FC – 23/10/2021

    Background The town of East Kilbride is one of the biggest on the Scottish landscape. With a wealth of history, culture and personalities, it is surprising that the town has never had a hugely successful football club.
