Carluke Rovers Football Club

Carluke Rovers FC, the town’s senior football club have made an application to the Scottish Football Association for Full Membership. Should the Club be successful amongst other benefits we will gain entry into the preliminary rounds of the senior Scottish Cup with the chance of a glamour tie in later rounds at the John Cumming Stadium in the town. To achieve this status the Club still has to go through a stringent qualification process which includes a lot of paperwork and making sure The John Cumming Stadium in the town meets the grounds criteria required.

As background to this one of our objectives as a Club is to work more closely with all the local football teams to give kids and young adults a pathway to senior football without having to leave the town. At the moment after the age of 16 there is little or no opportunity for youngsters to continue playing at their age group without leaving the town and playing somewhere else. With the support of the local juvenile teams we would like to change that and give every youngster the opportunity to play for a local team all the way through to senior football at Carluke Rovers should they choose to do so.

Part of this SFA application relates to our home ground, The John Cumming Stadium meeting certain criteria. Fortunately for Carluke Rovers the stadium ticks a lot of boxes but there are a few areas where we need to make improvements and changes to qualify for Full Membership. These investments in the Stadium will be for the benefit of all Clubs who use the pitch as well as spectators watching games and training and this is where any donations you can make will be greatly appreciated and be used to upgrade the Stadium.
