Cowden Cowboy

AGM was last Monday

Why what difference does that make to deciding it when the competition is drawn?

The 16 Clubs knew the agreed venue from the outset of the competition

Brechin didn’t engineer anything - they had one vote out of 42

Bet you said similar to Luton fans

What - being 8 years old?!

I guess you must be 8 years old then as Cowden were in the Championship or equivalent 4 years out of 5 until 2015. Or you are just ignorant

The L1/2 teams don’t want B teams and don’t want to play less games plus don’t want 3 relegation spots - you need to understand these aspects

No it doesn’t because SPFL teams have the funding available to play at National Level - while Tier 5 has next to nothing

Pollok

Protesting against anti-apartheid is an unusual stance to take!

Or maybe taking a bit of immediate heat out of matters helps to clarify many things

What theories? They don’t want B teams in the system they didn’t vote to bring them in to the SPFL or LL in the first place. But the genie was let out of the bottle so they reluctantly accepted a status quo situation as the Conference was the more important issue at this time

How could we move to Venters Park?

Board has outlined its decision, several of our fans have given their own thoughts and we don’t as yet have a Supporters Trust. So nothing to be added. There’s a para and no quotes

There were some semi-confidential style comments relying on the discretion of fans. That has happened at past meetings as well. The money wasn’t a major motivator - it isn’t a game-changer or a vote-changer -every time we voted against B teams before there was a financial benefit on offer. Nor was there any expectation of being invited into a conference - more chance of an invitation style scenario if B teams weren’t admitted to the LL next season. It’s complex in that giving an all-encompassing summary would need extensive recall of everything said including the off the record stuff while brief highlights are pounced on and analysed to death without the benefit of the bigger picture.

Fans got an explanation and generally accepted it, whereas folks on here tend just to jump to simple conclusions based on whatever bias they already have. There isn’t a PowerPoint presentation especially for them.

It was a CFC meeting - info for Cowden supporters. There was a whole range of factors touched on and no need to provide an extended analysis on here.

Because the reasons as set out were complex, explained at some length and not readily summarised on a nutshell basis. The fact is CFC don’t support B teams in the structure but the Conference is a bigger issue - the B teams in the LL had already been let in the door.

No it doesn’t clearly say you were informed - and if you were you should bother checking. I am afraid if you want to make points using real facts helps. I would suggest chairmen and committee men rarely look at voting in the best interests of themselves personally and in the case of Directors actually have a duty to act in the best interests of their company (club)

Why do you just make up a story that Cowdenbeath support the Conference? They have never said that

But they didn’t vote for that

Why does voting for B teams to continue in LL destroy any chance for CFC getting back to SPFL?

As ever your guesses and alleged facts are miles off the mark

Cowden of course equally had several regulars missing - Davidson, Young, Cunningham and Ritchie
