LIVIFOREVER Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 You'll have to wait a season, should be good for this one with the increased gates. Have a feeling Rankine will piss off with all the dosh at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PELE Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Not sure how Cowden will work it yet, i'd imagine the Police will have a big say. But i'd reckon we will try to get as many away fans in as we can. Perhpas 2500 - 3000 It will be like our stint in the old 1st division. We will be in the away end and Sevco / Hearts / Hibs will get the larger home end.

San Starko Rover Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It will be like our stint in the old 1st division. We will be in the away end and Sevco / Hearts / Hibs will get the larger home end. Was that for the entire season or just certain games? Can see why fans would be annoyed by it a bit like the Falkirk fans in their main stand.

More like what happened in the Dunfermline game but with a more substantial barrier than tape and some stewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny graham Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 With only a capacity of 900 for away fans at dumbarton we really need to think out of the box . I have suggested to the board we let in 900 for the first half then chuck them out and let in another 900 for the second half. This should particularly suit rangers fans as most of them leave ibrox long before the 90 minutes are up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let in 900 then every time the away team score they get to rotate fans like Mike Reids runaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 More like what happened in the Dunfermline game but with a more substantial barrier than tape and some stewards.Against Hearts and Hibs this can work. Again the scum from Ibrox it won't. They don't know how to behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueminer Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It will be like our stint in the old 1st division. We will be in the away end and Sevco / Hearts / Hibs will get the larger home end. The club has to ensure that it maximises its income from the Rangers, Hearts & Hibs games. That means we have to find a way to accommodate 3000+ away fans. No point in the home support getting a bigger portion of the ground if we can't fill it. That would be losing the club income, which is stupid. I will put up with whatever the club decides. Have to put the club before the supporters for 6 games I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take as much out of the pay days as we can. An opportunity we're unlikely to get again and can't waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 How are you guys still solvent? Thought you were finished a couple of months ago. Prob the money from selling 3 of our players last season. Rankine will keep us going anyway, so he can rake in the money from our increased gates. Not wanting to think what'll happen the following season as it looks like he's formulating an exit plan.

I quite like the auld stand if its full. But know guys put a lot of time and effort supporting the team and to be shifted for bigger teams does get some guys backs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I tend to agree but being stuck behind the goal pisses me off immensely. It's such a bad view. There has to be some sort of happy medium as we have a change to increase our core home support this season. That's something that has to be capitalised on as it's the long term future of the club. What does the old stand hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyal-blue Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Presumably Queen of the South will be subject to the same stringent rules which affected Stranraer's capacity last season, as imposed by the council, for their terracing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only coo in the village Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I agree with what Blueminer is saying as well. This is a unique opportunity for Cowdenbeath to generate some much needed income so happy to put self interest aside. No problem with being put into the old stand if needs be for the games against the Edinburgh clubs and The Rangers. Other games can remain the same as last season and a telephone box can be installed to accommodate all of the precious Falkirk fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
