Was passing through on my way down from Edinburgh.
3 pubs, all machines turned off, went into the 4th pub, attempted to put a pound in and the power went. Managers words "Its a fault". Bastards had switched them off on me. Jumped in the car and fucked off out of there.

Anyone visited?
Problems?

Yes, was doing an unchipped Arcadia up there years ago and we got accused of being police officers!!! Very strange.
Bored of the grind.

I must admit i have a soft spot for Cowden, most Pars fans do i believe, i agree, it's going to be a VERY tough season for them, good season for us though, Cowden, Raith and Scumkirk all in the same league as us. What's the pubs like in Cowdenbeath, been an age since i've been up that way, always meant to check them out but never got round to, do you play in Dunfermline when you're up?

Depending when you were up there was a Casino Crazy and Raiders in the bowling, the Raiders is gone now, the CC is well covered too, i was barred from the Stopper but i knew a few who went in for it, have an Amazin in a bar that's went down to weekends only now, you're right though, not great here, used to be fucking special and rarely touched, now it's rubbish and on a few folks routes.
