Yes, you are well clear of us no doubt, but in my mind the only thing that separates the likes of you guys and Berwick from Cowdenbeath is a top notch goalscorer. You have Alassan Jones, Berwick have Liam Buchanan, without their goals, or someone of their ilk, you would both likely have about the same points as us. As someone else pointed out, a couple of quid difference is hardly silly money, especially since we have to pay an over the top rent, whereas I’m sure you get a cushy deal from your council. And it’s nice that if needed we can get a seat, especially for older fans. Not that I wanted to sit, but I think I missed your stand when I visited just before Christmas. What is this , get your facts right before coming on and spreading untruths . BU have no cushy deal with council as council have nothing to do with the park. Suggest you stick with what you know .

Apologies, I thought it was council owned, but I see it is community owned under a charity, the ground ownership was transferred by the council. And a lot of funds appear to have been provided since by the council. The council seem to pop up quite a lot. Anyway, I have no beef with that, good luck, it would seem to be in good hands, would love if Cowdenbeath had a similar arrangement, and I’m sure you will continue to get support from the council (that word again) when needed.

I believe the funding for 2 developments was given to the Council - correct if I’m wrong - via Scottish Sports Council & The Lottery and Newtown Park Association & Dunipace FC were the chosen ones.

I was just reading this page here, council and Sports Scotland/lottery get a mention. https://www.newtownpark.org/about Either way, it’s all good I’m not knocking it, a good facility for the whole community and should ensure a secure future for the Bo’ness clubs.

Not that I wanted to sit, but I think I missed your stand when I visited just before Christmas. Newtown Park still had a seated stand until relatively recently that dated back to the SFL days in the 1920s that included a season in the old First Division. Would have been easier to maintain if Bo'ness had received all the cash injections clubs like Cowdenbeath enjoyed over the decades from pools money, SFA, SFL and SPFL membership, but you still managed to lose your ground to stock car racing promoters despite that.

8MileBU Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Based on what I have seen this season this is what the starting 11 should be in a 4-2-3-1. Where there are multiple names the first name is the first choice. The only exception to this for now are McArthur and Todd. McArthur needs a run of games at centre back before we know who’s best of him and Todd. The positions would stay constant unless injuries or suspension meant a reshuffle was needed.
