 The "Bankies" fans formed a phoenix club of more modest character to compete in the Junior leagues.Having been landlords to Clyde in the 1980s, Hamilton Academical almost went the way of Airdrieonians when their new stadium took seven years to materialise; it took the intervention of some Glasgow investors (who had previously been at the helm of Clyde) to stabilise the "Accies" financially, and their youth-focused business model saw the club reach the top tier within a decade.Falkirk were denied promotion in 2000 (Aberdeen being spared possible relegation in a play-off) and 2003 (Motherwell reprieved) due to the condition of Brockville Park before they sold the town centre site for the construction of a supermarket (as Airdrie and Hamilton had done), sharing with Stenhousemuir for one year while their new stadium on the edge of town was being built.
