Of course but that's dictated by capability which is typically decided by money. I've enjoyed this season a lot better than getting beat 3-0 in the championship every week and then plummeting down the leagues. Would be nice to one day be in the Seaside League again but a bit of entertainment in the LL isn't too bad. There's been some good games this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transparent? Sorry, I can't agree with that. We are all still waiting for an answer from last season. As for this season, I hope it's worth it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have joined to forum to talk about this, as I believe that this is a big decision for clubs, you are talking about 2/3 more years of this. I am also trying to gauge individual club decisions, hence the reason for putting it in here. Cowdenbeath fans will regularly get angry and deflect about the fact that their club are the biggest B team fanboys out there. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would have voted to get rid of the B teams, but I’m not going to lose my shit over it. I did a quick count and there are 457 more important things in my life and the world than B teams, so once I’ve got to them, I’ll think about the B teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Do Cowdenebeath supporters not get a say on the B team vote? Any respect I had for this club is slowly dying. For a club with so much history in the senior leagues to be voting for this farce is a complete joke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden316 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 13 hours ago, CowdenLoyal said: Not sure I agree with the use of 'never'. Granted it would be ideal to have an increase of funds from somewhere but there's nothing to say that we need to break the bank in order to put a team on the park that could potentially win this league. Prudent spending on willing, decent players. We have a manager I feel knows what he's doing and a decent guy at that who cares about what he does. Also that chat about it not being bad being in the Lowland League can get in the bin. The only plus side is the 2 games versus teams in the league. However give me the monotony of 4 games versus teams, entry to the next round of Scottish cup and entry into the league cup over this any day. We are where on merit (or rather, lack of) but the goal MUST be to get back up without doing a Berwick. Spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the way the board spoke tonight they definitely aren’t fans of the B sides. On 19/04/2023 at 07:54, Cowdenleith said: I don’t want to prolong the general gnashing of teeth by a couple of folk in this thread, hopefully that can be kept for the B team thread. However, I am willing to give the club the benefit of the doubt. Only time will tell if the proposed conference league will take place for 24/25 as has been suggested. It appears to have been made clear that the SFA were not willing to have nowhere for the B teams to play in 23/24, and would have forced the conference to start immediately if the vote went against the B teams. Believe that or not, but I am willing to accept the opinion of experienced administrators that work on behalf of Cowdenbeath rather than some internet randoms. To avoid doubt though, I would rather not have B teams in the LL, the club would rather not have B teams in the LL. On 20/04/2023 at 07:52, Cowdenleith said: I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I’ll trust the judgement of a board who are very experienced in dealings with the SFA and SPFL, more so than any other club in the LL, against a bunch of internet weirdos piling on us. I don’t want them in the league, most Cowden fans don’t want them, and I don’t believe the board want them in either.

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) Would be good to hear from someone on the board to confirm which way we voted and most importantly why. If we did vote for B teams for another two seasons I'd be interested in knowing how we've went from 'no to b teams', to 'ah but the conference' to 'b teams, a great bunch of lads'. Were the CISS or similar canvased for any opinion? Edited December 18, 2023 by UsedToGoToCentralPark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do share if you get a response. Is @Cowden Cowboy not your club secretary? He was very vocal last time about how open and honest your board were with regards to the last vote where you bent over and sooked the B team boaby. Of course being open and honest just showed the board up for looking like utter morons with regards to the conference vote so maybe that's why they've been so quiet this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
