With
so much at stake a crowd of 5,050 turned out to
see the match, delaying the kick-off by 15 minutes.
In a nail-biting game, for both sets of supporters,
with few clear cut chances Cowdenbeath survived
with a 0-0 draw which saw them gain promotion for
the first time in 20 years. It had been a long wait
for this success, unfortunately things were to turn
sour following this game as manager Brownlie was
fired and the promotion winning team fell to pieces
under the new manager. How easy it seemed to be
to undo the hard work and historical achivement
of these players and management.
