Blantyre Victoria F.C. join all across the nation mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
This evening the club’s committee observed a minute’s silence following her passing.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the Royal Family.
Blantyre Victoria have pledged £100 to Bellshill Athletic’s damage fund. We ask any fan, if they can spare anything to help this great local club at a very difficult. Not only are they receiving no income they now have arson damage to deal with.
Chris Walker’s son said to committee members before the match that his dad was going to score. If his dad did, he was promised a pound😂 here he is collecting his winnings

I am a full-time student, I work part-time, I spend at least 8-10 hours per week working on things that improve the Blantyre Vics (e.g. programme, kit distribution, photography). But I spent an hour of my day picking up litter left by lazy fans. 3 bags from just one game!
