The Remaster: 100 Owners, Number 100 - Bill Hiddelston, Third Lanark

Remastering an old series on football club owners. I'll probably even get the rest of them done after I've exhausted these.

There is a curious paradox at the heart of the dynamic of smaller football clubs which always seems likely to attract a certain type of undesirable to the game. In terms of their financial position, most clubs live a hand to mouth existence, but many sit on one asset which has considerable value - their home ground.

Because football in Britain developed in tandem with the industrial revolution, most football grounds used to be well-positioned. In an age before the widespread ownership of cars, they were often situated near to town centres and in particular railway stations.
