HOSPITALITY DEALS FOR THIS MATCH
With both clubs` matches being postponed with repetition Cowdenbeath have agreed to a fixture switch that will hopefully provide a festive season fixture at East End Park. When they met on 18th September this year it was their first league match in over 17 years since May Day 1993.

In season 1992/93 the Pars scored 11 goals to Cowden`s 6.  The Central Park club took only 13 points from their 44 matches.  It was still just two points for a win that season but the change would only have added another three points.  One of the three games that Cowdenbeath won was at East End Park after they had already been relegated.

Cowdenbeath`s rise to the First Division came after promotion in consecutive seasons. After Livingston`s demise and subsequent ejection to the Third Division had given them a place in Division Two for last season and after a great season under Danny Lennon it looked like they had bottled it by letting Stirling Albion in to win the league. But play off wins over Alloa Athletic and Brechin City meant promotion to the First Division beside their Fife counterparts Dunfermline and Raith Rovers.
