INTER...Whoops... blogger put my real name up there. INTERNET DISASTER!<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with Colin about Cowdenbeath's nickname - they have been 'The Blue Brazil' for many years. Almost as long as Brazil have been known as 'The Yellow Cowdenbeath'<BR/><BR/>I have never been to a football match at Central Park, but my dad used to take me to the stock car racing when I was a nipper. Groundskeeper at Cowdenbeath must be the most soul destroying job in the world - I can remember countles occassions when a car tore onto the pitch, gouging a huge trench in the playing surface.<BR/><BR/>I think the stock car people actually own the stadium now - it pulls in a bigger crowd than the football.Mystery_Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991507777015175158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10399764.post-1154095249622852072006-07-28T15:00:00.000+01:002006-07-28T15:00:00.000+01:00The Shirey Pirey are kind of fucked on all levels ...The Shirey Pirey are kind of fucked on all levels when it comes to getting any support.<BR/><BR/>As with all other teams in Scotland, crowds are lost as thousands of people head for Glasgow every week, to cheer on the Old Firm instead of supporting their local teams.<BR/><BR/>For those who still want to support their local team, East Stirlingshire have to compete with cross-town rivals Falkirk. As well as being a much more successful club, Falkirk also carry the name of the town and are easier to identify with for the casual, local football fan. (due to the common abbreviation of 'East Stirling' many people assume that the team are based in Falkirk's becastled neighbour town to the North)<BR/><BR/>Even if you are the type who thinks of Falkirk as too big a team, their fans as glory hunters and prefer a local team who ply their trade in a lower division, The Shire are once again out-done by near neighbours. This time Stenhousemuir.<BR/><BR/>Stenny have a bit of a cult following, with a Norwegian supporter's club that makes an annual trip to Stenhousemuir every year. The Warriors even had a period a few years back where they had a couple of great results in the Scottish cup (Aberdeen were a scalp if I remember correctly) and they also won the Bells Cup (for teams outwith the Premier League).<BR/><BR/>So once you filter out all the people attracted to the other clubs, there are just not enough people in the Falkirk area to go and see East Stirlingshire. I don't know exactly how big their support is, but I would be surprised if they had many crowds over a couple of hundred in a season.<BR/><BR/>The owner tried to rename the team and move it to the athletics stadium in Grangemouth (against the wishes of all club supporters), but was blocked. It's believed by the fans he simply wants to cash in from the sale of their ground - it's a shithole, but a prime town center location for housing/retail. While he is in charge it's unlikely the club will receive any kind of investment that might, for instance, provide the manager with a salary.<BR/><BR/>I am torn in two about the club's fate - as a fan of Falkirk myself, I would love to have a close local rival of a similar strength. Competetive derby games are great and over the years we have turned our attention to Dunfermline Athletic, since there is no real challenge from anyone closer.<BR/><BR/>The other side of me looks at the Shire and thinks, "Thank fuck it's them and not us." I hate to see any team disappear (and Scotland has had a couple go in recent years) but when even the local junior teams have larger crowds, better players and better prospects, you have to fear for the future of East Stirlingshire.Mystery_Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991507777015175158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10399764.post-1154035819261406932006-07-27T22:30:00.000+01:002006-07-27T22:30:00.000+01:00I think they've been called the Blue Brazil for qu...I think they've been called the Blue Brazil for quite a while.<BR/><BR/>Other than the stock car track around the pitch, the only particularly interesting thing I can think of about Cowdenbeath at the moment is this song, to the Addams Family tune<BR/><BR/>"They come frae near Lochgelly<BR/>They're dirty and they're smelly<BR/>They huvnae goat a telly<BR/>The Cowden Family" <BR/><BR/>Anyway. Scottish football does have some pretty good nicknames, from the Bully Wee and the Arabs to the Maryhill Magyars and so on.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think our most ridiculous club are St Johnstone, but that's mainly because their three fans are all Tory farmers who arrive at away games on the same tractor.colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156042772063913882noreply@blogger.com
