Glasgow football club calls it quits after 11 years
Broomhill FC, which has been operating for 11 years, confirmed that it will cease operations after "sustainability" concerns.
The Lowland League side cited a "number of factors" behind the move, including the "enforced termination" of its ground-sharing agreement with Dumbarton FC.
The club also explained that the decision is "not one they take lightly" and thanked fans for their support over the years.
A statement was published on social media confirming the move.

The club was renamed Open Goal Broomhill FC as part of the move.
A documentary aired which followed the management team, players and club officials over the course of the 2022/23 campaign.
The partnership was hailed by both parties as 'revolutionary' and 'the beginning of a new era for the club and lower league football'.
However, the project ended after just 12 months.
Broomhill played its final match against Civil Service Strollers on April 25.
