  1. The first part is correct the second part I am not so sure about as currently working for UEFA.
  2. Out of curiosity how is "an ambitious club" defined?
  3. Yes I think I still have an old season ticket book from there
  4. Remember those days well I think the ball came from the Fowlis general store.
  5. Good win for you guys today equally I keep an eye on your results and enjoy watching Arbroath upset the establishment in the Championship that to me is more about progression in Scottish football than a money backed fantasy operation that woud have Tom English salivating about ambition etc..........
  6. I had the honour of being invited back to Beath HS earlier this month as a former pupil and Headboy to present awatds to the current cohort, and there is a tribute to Stuart amongst others in the reception area
  7. Beath HS was certainly the destination for pupils in Crossgates and as such I have always associated an alignment between Cowdenbeath & Crossgates. That said that was around 45 years ago a few changes since then, onlu one Beath HS site now and quite a bit of new house building in Crossgates, so not sure what the sittuation is now.
  8. Sure I was at the home game too Wullie. If I recall 3 nil to Cowden
  9. Not touchy at all just had considerable experience in this area over a number of organisations and sectors. However sponsors do not sign up unless they perceive potential value. For local small businesses that may be one or two orders they would not have otherwise had to give return depending on their market. One thing they will want their money is brand awarenees, hence why we offer presence on interview backdrops etc. Now this "a lot of fans " were free to sponsor the shirt individually or collectivelily anonymously with no name /brand on the shirt to acknowledge them at the same level or or better that the shirt sponsor. To the best of my knowledge no such submission was made. Perhaps one to think about for next season. The whole brand and marketing and sponsorship area is and will be going forward critical for the sustainability of the club as is your and the support and the support of fanns overall.
  10. When you say a lot of fans how many would that be approximately? The whole concept of a shirt sponsor is that their brand is seen and visible as is with trackside and programe web etc. particularly important for local and expanding SME's as a relativelty cost effective way to extend reach and build local engagement.
  11. Looks like a positive signing always great to have a player with pace. http://www.cowdenbeathfc.com/index.php?act=viewNews&id=3426
  12. They had expressed no view either for or against until they had fuller details of the proposition to consider the merits or otherwise. With the additional information provided they have concluded not a proposition they can support. Makes sense to me get as much detail as possible before reaching a decision which they have now done.
  13. Tend to agree Andy whilst potential for a number of sides to finish botom my thought are towards Elgin That said make the right appointment and bring in the correct payers who knows.
  14. I think Spartans might surprise you wnen you closer a huge community operation at a number of levels. Their Ladies side top of SWPL B.
  15. Not the League titles probably more recnet than some ogf the LR cup successes
  16. Thanlkyou a balanced logical view LR a club I respect and with potential to do well.
  17. A very sweeping statement to suggest "Linlithgow Rose blow Albion Rovers out the water,in every way " and then by way of validatiom to cite their Junior achiements and thisn disregaring Rovers Senior achievements including league titlesand Scottich Cup runners up. Fair to say also in the absence of corrobarating evidenve your comments regards finacial health of the two is at best speculative and non informed guess work.
  18. Thanks for that however my question was more far reaching ub terms of definition rationale and measurement criteria part of which you address from a current day perspective.
  19. So in essence you are judging on acurrent contemporary basis rather than club history and achievements overall .So that fo the clarity. Size of support assume you are basing on attendances rather than overall support i.e. excluding distant fans who cannot physically regullarly attend matces but may support in other means i.e march, lottery, sponsorship,donations and such like? When we youch on that matter of finance I am somehat blind on that but do you have insight that confirms that one has greater resources that the other bearing in mind finances are not merely abour trading revenue bit also other activities, reservs and balance sheet net value?
  20. Can you please clarify what measures you are basing this statememt on, also is that view purely contemporary or are you looking the overall history of both clubs?
