Anyone know the time it's getting revealed?

Trying to visualize how the sponsor will look on it. Will it be red?, combination of blue ond white? or on a white panel? Either way I got my cash for it put aside, looks a cracker.

That was memorable as Flannery spent all his time trying to avoid meeting up with him again after he went over the ball to Keith at Boghead. It looked as though Keith had a broken leg but that didn't stop him getting up on one leg and hopping around the pitch trying to get hold off Flannery who ran for his life. It took a wee while but Keith got him back at Central Park. The other Dumbarton classic I recall is when one of their players lobbed the ball back to their goalie Kenny Meechan. There was a bit of pace on it and when it bounced he tried to head it away but only succeeded in heading it into his own net.
For some reason I was thinking it was at Cliftonhill Flannery wiped out Keith.
That was the best part of that game Meechan o.g,lol.

Elgin game will be off - sandstorm.
Ahh, Sandgate. Forgot about that, 9 weeks they had to water a corner of the pitch. Was it no a hour or so before kick off it was called off?

I imagine there will be a few funny stories involving big Stuart. The funniest experience I had (I repeat this every time a question like this arises) was when we played Alloa midweek on a cold winters night when we were both going for promotion I think. They had a right bellend of a centre back (Walker rings a bell) who was on the receiving end of a tough tackle from one of our guys. Anyway, he gets up and starts going off on one at the referee and starts lifting his leg, extending it and stamping, insinuating that's what happened to him. He does this a few times and big Stuart, louder than a foghorn, screams 'f**k OFF JOHN CLEESE!'
There was barely a person not in stitches on the busy terracing. His wit was outstanding and the volume of his voice just as much. Taken too soon.
The most embarrassed I've been as a Cowden supporter is being thumped 10-0 by Hearts and having our then manager Jimmy Nichol being allowed to galavant into another job while still being employed by us during a relegation battle. He should never have been kept on after the pars game and he should absolutely have been shown the door the minute either/both of the above happened. The biggest mistake I think the board has made in my time supporting Cowden.It was Scott Walker, dished it out but couldn't take it. Pretty sure in the same game the ref (Charlie Richmond am sure it was) gave Alloa a free kick when the Alloa player tripped over the ball with not a Cowden player within yards of him. Unbelievable. Mind when Big Stu had the whole coach singing who let the Coo oot on the way back from Elgin years ago, classic. A big miss.

QUESTION TIME
Can you tell us the funniest and/or most embarrassing incidents you can remember whilst watching Cowden down the years, involving either yourself or a mate? Either at the match or travelling to a game. Pseudonyms can be used if needed!
Morton player, can't mind his name, but he had a really thick beard, he was having a rant at the terracing side linesman about a decision and a Cowden fan shouted at him to go shave his stupid looking beard aff, he gave it the get it up ye sign to the Cowden fans and he got sent off, ha!
In the 2000/01 season, home game against Elgin, was 0-0 deep in to injury time, some of us already walked around to the stairs, ball went out of play and a few of us said that will be that and we just got out the gates when we heard a roar, proceeded to dash back up the stairs to see the ball in the Elgin net and the Cowden fans and players in celebration, gutted. Think Toorie scored it, sure the game was on a Sunday.

It’s the gala this Saturday and the club usually have a stall with the new strips. I may be wrong but I thought I heard they weren’t taking a stall this year as the strips won’t be ready?
Yeah there has usually been wee snippets about the kit a week or so before the gala on twitter etc + for pre-orders.

I see on the website that if you take the player sponsor elite package for next season you will receive the players 50th anniversary commemoration shirt, sounding like the kits will be based on the 1969/70 kits, hoping so.

I received a few programmes recently, including a Hibs-Dunfermline one from the early 90s. On the Pars page its signed by former (albeit briefly) Cowden boss Bert Paton and Norrie McCathie, who I noticed also started out with Cowdenbeath.
Does anyone have any memories of him, either playing for the Dumb-vermin v the Cows, or previously with Cowden... and does anyone know if his death was deemed to be accidental or suicide?
Way before my time when he played for Cowden, but saw him against us in the early 90's. A brave, no nonsense player, with real leadership qualities. Tells you everything when he was known as Mr Dunfermline and got a stand named after him. Tragic loss. Got his signature on my programme after they pumped us 4-1 in 1992 at East End.

Any word on any more players signing up? When the strips will be released?
Kits usally get revealed a week or so before the Cowdenbeath Gala where they become available to buy, which is a week on Saturday, so must be imminent, hopefully.

I have quite a lot of the tops from the mid 80's to the current top, but I would love to have a replica of the 1970 home and away tops as next seasons tops.
There is one shirt I would have loved to have owned was the 94/95 one, I maybe the only one that thought it looked smart, lol. Yeah would be fantastic to have bespoke based on that kit, hopefully it's not just another template.

Still have my Paulas Benara 97/98 shirt, it was quite rare back then for a club just to have a kit design for one season, etremely rare to come across one. Benara era kits were some of the finest designs we have had.

Was the Carnie who was sub in that match Grant Carnie?
Was going to be the next big thing for City in the East of Scotland League. He wasn't. Later played for Dunbar United too.
Best known for hitting a shot towards goal which was deflected off centre half Ross McNamara's arse and in. The popular Mac hadn't scored a goal for City so he was credited with it and the chant
"Ross McNamara, he scores goals with his arse"
was born!
Yeah was Grant.
