COWDENBEATH FC'S latest fundraising venture was launched on Saturday when first subscribers were directors Tom Ewing, Margaret Steven and Alex Anderson, who between them contributed a total of £420 to kick things off.

Many fans have seen this trailed and have been awaiting further details. Well in the next few weeks and months more and more information and Club 135 initiatives will be launched on a progressive basis.

There will also be meetings and it is crucial for the club’s wellbeing and future that fans play a full part in these.

The idea is to get the ball rolling now and gather increasing momentum. Said finance director David Allan: "Have no doubt though - Club 135 is absolutely vital to Cowdenbeath FC’s future.

"It is sometimes said that the Board are the custodians or guardians who have responsibility for safeguarding Cowdenbeath FC. That is not true – they have an important role but the true custodians and guardians of Cowdenbeath FC are the fans and the wider local community. They are the folks who are the key to preserving and keeping Cowdenbeath FC alive and to building the club’s future".

Club 135 will have a number of facets. One absolutely simple aim is to build a financial base for the club that underpins its sustainability and its financial position.
