If you are that big should get a bye for the group stages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine we would want a week of rest before so that would be Bankies and Burgh. Get burgh to rearrange for 27/28th of June, if not try get Glenrothes or Jeanfield. And if we draw EF in the group stages maybe they won't want the friendly beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good clubhouse with pie and hot drink for £2 though. Rosyth look good and they will fancy their chances for promotion next season, a really good pick out for a friendly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those who resort to name calling and the like as soon as you question what they say or put forward an alternative viewpoint. It's a forum and has no impact on my life other than entertainment. It is informative but for the most part it's about the bants. I must say you have been almost a lone beacon of humour on a couple of those threads that should get launched from the LL section. You need to get yourself on your horse and trot up to Central Park, a warm welcome would await. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say try harder but I think you're better focusing on your Supporters Trust - that always works and certainly never ends in tears.

Spyro Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Tbf, it is actually written in the rules that the previously relegated club would get the extra place if one became available... and that was Cowdenbeath, simple. We can argue all we like about the fairness of such a rule, but it's there and it has been implemented. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I've heard that with West Ham winning the Conference League that the English League Cup first round has had to make some changes. Sure Cowden Cowboy is waiting by the phone for the call inviting us to fill in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can argue all we like about the fairness of such a rule, but it's there and it has been implemented. Can you show me where it says that in the rules? The champions of the HL (Brechin) and LL (Spartans) are granted a place in the group stages. Should either of those teams win the SPFL (Club 42) play off, then the relegated club (Albion Rovers) will be granted a place. There is no reference to relegation in earlier seasons in the rules. Participants 4.2 The Competition shall be contested by: 4.2.1 all Clubs in the League in the relevant Season; (all 42 SPFL Clubs for season 2023/24) 4.2.2 by the League Champion Club, as provided for in the Pyramid Play-Off Rules of each of the Scottish Highland Football League (Brechin) and the Scottish Lowland Football League (Spartans) ("Recognised Leagues") in the immediately preceding season, subject that, in the event that a Club shall have been relegated from the League through the Pyramid Play-Off Competition at the end of the immediately preceding Season then such relegated Club (Albion Rovers), in substitution for the relevant League Champion Club of the Scottish Highland Football League or the Scottish Lowland Football League, as the case may be, in the immediately preceding season, which shall have been promoted to the League and which will be a Club competing in terms of this Regulation 4.2, shall be eligible to participate in the Competition; and 4.2.3 such other club(s), if any, identified by the Board. The Board may, if it considers appropriate in any Season or Seasons, alter/vary whether any of the classes of participant Clubs or clubs identified in this Regulation shall be invited to and shall participate in the Competition in any one or more Seasons and to make such changes to the rounds of the Competition and the balloting for such rounds as it shall consider appropriate. If the structure and/or participants in rounds and/or categories or numbers of participants in the Competition and/or rounds of the Competition shall be altered by the Board then the Board shall give written notice of such change(s) to all Clubs and any other person or club with an interest therein. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the financial power of Cowdenbeath propel them back into League Two this season ? Not likely. I’m sure we will have overheads that dwarf everybody else in the league.
