Broomhill FC comes to an end as board make tough decision
Originally founded as Broomhill Sports Club in 2004, then as BSC Glasgow in 2014 and Broomhill FC in 2021, the club played in the Scottish Lowland League last season.
However, they will not be involved from the upcoming season with the termination of a groundshare agreement with Dumbarton, "continued frustrations in securing support for our own facility," and sustainability measures to run the club cited as reasons for the club coming to an end.
The side counts finishing as runners-up in the Lowland League, winning the SFA South Region Challenge Cup and the Lowland League Cup in their honours list.
A statement confirmed: "We'd like to address the rumours that you may (or may not, depending on how 'online' you are) have been hearing over the last week or so:
"Due to a number of factors, including the enforced termination of our ground sharing agreement with Dumbarton FC, the continued frustrations in securing support for our own facility, and the sustainability of running a club at this level, the board have decided to bring Broomhill FC's time to an end.
"We have had an incredible ride over the last eleven years, from South Challenge Cup glory in our first season, to being runners-up in the Lowland League in 2018/19 and winning the Lowland League Cup in that season too (sorry about the dent!).

"Our Scottish Cup run in 2019/20, culminating in a televised match against Premiership side Hibernian, will live long in the memories of everyone associated with Broomhill.
"As a club, we have never been afraid to try different things. Some worked, some didn't, but we've always tried to be innovative. As a club we have never shied away from
anything, we've been bold every time we've made a decision, and we've backed them up even when they weren't popular.
"Obviously this isn't a decision we've taken lightly and it comes as a blow to us, and to the committed volunteers and staff who have worked tirelessly to make the club a success over the last eleven years. We would like to thank each and every person who has come into the club, offered their time, their spirit and their commitment to make Broomhill FC better.
"To our supporters, though small in number, we appreciate your passion, your desire and your support for non-league football.
"Non-league fitba is amazing, it brings us together in community, unites us in good-natured rivalries, and ultimately... it's great fun.
"Through the highs and the lows, and all of the different badges, we've had so much fun for the last eleven seasons.
"Thank you for having us. Broomhill FC."
