I passed Borough Park just before Xmas, those volunteers do a fantastic job keeping it together. I doubt its changed since Shankly,s days. The speedway was across the road at Derwent Park ( Rugby League ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speedway was across the road at Derwent Park ( Rugby League ) Been a few times a pre season friendly with us in 2007 and an Easter Monday game with Lancaster City in 2018. Last time I was down they had put new floodlights up. Apart from the floodlights and taking the top of the stand of and putting seats in the enclosure it will be the same as the Football League days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find the archives interesting reading to look back on from time to time. Some archives can give food for thought regarding previous ideas and initiatives. Interesting reading regarding previous communication's about new ground plans back in 2010 that we know didn't come to fruition due to various factors. If game on tomorrow safe travels to everyone attending the game. A must win victory that will hopefully build some momentum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s straight forward enough looking i think, have been to Dumfries before, and looks like less than 15 miles from Dumfries along the A75, then a smaller road into Dalbeattie. Still planning on going though feeling a little crap this evening, hope a good sleep will make me jump up enthusiastically in the morning A little less mileage for me than most, being in Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes head for Dumfries,there's a few roundabouts but you're avoiding the town centre then follow signs for Dalbeattie. A fine hospitable club. Enjoy yer day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy drive and usually the road is not busy. Only annoying if it is heavy rain, but I think it is meant to be light rain, if any, tomorrow on the way down. Meant to be windy down there though. There aren't any awkward junctions and as others have said only a few roundabouts and you just skirt the edge of the built up areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cowden have tweeted that Dalbeattie are having a 9am pitch inspection as our team bus is due to leave at 10am. Looks like the worst of the rain is maybe to be past by 9am, so hopefully not too much damage done. Fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it’s bloody decent as a midweek rescheduling whenever would suit no one. That being said it looks like there are a few spare Saturdays over next couple of months, so that might be possible. I wonder what the Dalbeattie team and management are thinking? Get back out there after a mauling and put it quickly behind them, or if they would rather be in the hoose tomorrow afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LL have dates set aside for postponed games in March so could still be a Saturday if off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollocks, really wanted it to be today as daughter’s football matches haven’t restarted yet. No way have time to be able to get down to Dalbeattie on our ‘normal’ Saturday, enough of a rush to get to Cowdenbeath. Oh well, I wasn’t feeling the best anyway but still disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
