Popular Post Billy1984 6,314 Posted January 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2019 COWDENBEATH v Rangers - WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP 4TH ROUND - WEDNESDAY 30TH JANUARY, 7.45PM Cowdenbeath FC have been actively involved in discussions this week with both the SFA and Rangers as we sought to devise a plan to best ensure Wednesday's rearranged match can go ahead as scheduled. All three parties were represented at Central Park today and agreed that the pitch was indeed now fully playable. Forecast weather conditions going in to tomorrow will also continue to benefit the pitch. Thereafter some colder weather is forecast in the run up to the game and that means that frost protection measures certainly need to be undertaken. To that end, with the hands on assistance and guidance of the SFA, Cowdenbeath FC and Rangers FC agreed to jointly fund a pitch protection system to be installed and utilised at Central Park this weekend. A cover system is now being brought in to fully protect the pitch. A heating system will then be deployed to introduce warm air underneath these covers which will continuously incubate the pitch plus also increase soil temperature and tolerance even after cover removal a few hours before kick off. Grateful thanks go to the SFA and Rangers for working closely with us on this initiative for the benefit of all parties.

Dickie 12,905 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So why the fuck are we funding it? They are making enough money off us so surely they can spend the couple of bob needed on plastic covers. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz-96 41 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 For a club like cowdenbeath this tie means a hell of a lot. Yes they may have made an arse of things for the original date but atleast they are seeking advice and help to ensure it doesn't happen again. Hopefully an easy advance to the next round for us, injury free and both parties leave somewhat pleased with how Wednesday plays out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,734 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Crazy. We should be delaying the match for as long as possible. Team needs more match fitness before battling the mighty Cowdenbeath. I will be holding Jimmy Bell personally accountable if things go tits up.

I'm pretty sure this stadium closes soon. this gives the local fans one last big match at their local stadium and a nice boost to the local Boozers and businesses Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,852 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Why should we be paying out money to get the game on when it's their responsibility in the first place, a few year ago they along with the rest couldn't wait to stick the boot in, I'd have told them to fuck off when they asked for help.
