    How has jordan armstong got a move to peterhead, never rated him, terrible attitude towards end of season when wasn’t getting game time.

    Yeah, poor player and in no way should he ever have been captain - not a leader at all.

    An obvious crock of shit argument that neglects the fact that Cowdenbeath already voted in favour of B teams fully six weeks ago.

    So much for waiting for additional information. If that was the case, then why didn't you simply abstain from the relevant vote? 🤔

    The B teams in the Lowland League and the Conference League are two very different issues. 

    But you know that.

    Anyway, I do not understand why this is so big deal.  One of my ex-boyfriends kicked me so often when he lost his temper but I did not tell anyone about it.

    Not everyone has the courage to speak up but that doesn't mean it's not a big deal or they shouldn't tell someone about it.

    What your ex-boyfriend did was wrong as is what Colin Nish is accused of.

    Now that anyone with any sense realises this name change keech is exactly that can I ask a couple of wee questions about life in the LL.

    Can clubs stream their games at 3pm on a Saturday? Do transfer windows apply in this league?

    Cheers

    I think the issue with live streaming in the SPFL was the blocked hours from Sky/BT Sports which don't apply to the LL so I believe the club should be able to live stream.

    No transfer windows.

    I notice you can only buy an adult season ticket on the Fanbase app, wonder if the other ones will be on there

    You will be able to. It's currently a work in progress which should be finished this afternoon and then an announcement made.

    What a difference a competent manager makes! We had a weakened side out and looked like we weren't particularly arsed about their holidays starting now but Cowden were streets ahead on the day. As above, Andrew Black ran the game and Cowden actually looked decent popping the ball about. Maybe back to basics is helping rather than Maurice's ultra sophisticated Premier League level world class coaching, or maybe the players are more willing to work for someone who isn't a complete roaster, who knows. Some promising signs for you though.

    Stevenson at centre back while Pyper on the bench seemed a strange one. 

    Noticed that's Pyper away now.

    Don't know how much a pint cost but it was £1.50 for a diet coke so you are probably right. The lounge is quite nice.

    Was it a pint that fans were getting as part of the deal? Think the offer was a "welcome beer".

    Preston Athletic did it earlier in the season.

    You can reasonably argue that it is the price of the match ticket that is being discounted, not the alcohol.

    CSS have also done it previously.

    Scottish Cup Matchday Ticket Option

    Scottish Cup Matchday Ticket Option

    Enjoy the Scottish Cup game knowing that at half time you have a bottle of lager and hot pie waiting for you in the bar. Just purchase your ticket on Fanbase select the MATCH + PROGRAMME + PIE + PINT ticket, show proof on arrival and we will have it ready for you at half time.

    Your ticket will get you:

    • Matchday Programme
    • Entry to the game
    • Pie + Pint at Half Time

    All This For £15

    Get your ticket today via Fanbase  BUY TICKET

    I don't have much knowledge of the licening laws so maybe it can be done. I would have assumed that it being bundled in with admission and a pie makes the alcohol part of the deal. But I'm sure the clubs looked into it and it's all about board. If they have an licence then someone at the club will have gone through a course and will know what they can and can't do. Same applies at Cowden - someone will have done the course.

    Pies were £2 from the shop.

    So it wasn't actually much of a deal for fans then and more of a deal for the club.

    No wonder they only target this at away fans. £15 Away Day Combo - give us more money than you had planned and in return we'll bundle it as a package. Fans who wouldn't normally buy a pie or a drink have now given Berwick more money.

    Fair play to Berwick, that's clever marketing.

    Soso. How much is a pie at CP+ a pint price? Would £10 be a great deal?

    I've no idea. £10 would be a great deal for fans as admission alone is £10. Not such a great deal for the club. 

  11. 8 minutes ago, CowdenMiners1204 said:

    Ah ok, I would love to see people turn up to Central Park for £10; match, pint and a pie. With a good sponsor obviously!

    Was £15 today but when you break it down, was it that great a deal? £10 admission, £3 for a bottle of beer and £2 for a pie? 

    I don't actually know how much a pie is but £2 seems reasonable?

    I thought it was at Forthbank. We should really be beating uni teams. Hopefully we can do a deal with a match ticket, beer and pie?

    We won't be able to due to Scottish licensing laws - it would be considered an alcohol promotion.

    If my club lacked the balls to see an empty threat for what it was and stand up against it, then I'd be raging at them. 

    What makes you so sure it was an empty threat?

    Recent BBC podcast re the scale of Scottish football managers being sacked with John Hughes keen for a chairman to pick up the phone to them and offer them a job like said before on here Hughes probably well out of budget and LL a step down for them but maybe better than nothing and getting back into the game

    Just saying 😁 but probably would have been more realistic in our SPFL days 

    Absolutely not. Never. Even if we were still in the SPFL. 

    We need someone who knows this level.

    He's with Gala Fairydean Rovers in some capacity. Although I believe he had only recently joined them, if I remember right he was with Civil Service Strollers previously.

    Is there not two Thomas Browns - father and son. The father is chairman of CSS and the son is chairman of GFR?

    And you swallowed that?!

    Empty threat with 0 chance of happening. LL chairmen shat the bed again

    I don't know how the club voted. As Nelly said, the club have always voted no previously.

    Whether we like it on not, B teams are here to stay. If it's not in the Lowland League, it'll be in their own Conference League and eventually in League 2. Celtic and Rangers always get their own way.

    Another season of colt teams. Hope we did not vote in favour of it.

    If we didn't vote in favour of it then they were just going to go and form their own league and we would have lost the money and might have ended a league further away from League 2.

    Voting them back in would have been the sensible thing to do.

    Good, some SPFL input. While tier 5 is not sitting at the same table as tier 6, it is with tier 4, so can you explain from an SPFL perspective why they won’t open up?

    The clubs have to vote it through and League 2 clubs won't vote in favour as that's like turkeys voting for Christmas.

    BUT they should be thinking about the bigger picture and how difficult it is to get back into the SPFL if and when they do drop out. No club has come close to getting back in yet.

    I realise the HL/LL split complicates things a bit but it should be 10th place relegated and 9th place into a Play Off like the rest of the leagues. Means there's something for the other clubs in the HL and LL to play for as well.
