COWDENBEATH Football Club are delighted to announce that they have been awarded a further £3,000 from the Alan Stott Legacy Fund to support Year 2 and Year 3 maintenance of the club’s VEO system.

This fantastic support will make a significant difference to the football club and continue to assist player development both now and into the future.

The VEO system has become an important part of modern football operations, helping with:

  • Match analysis
  • Training review
  • Player development
  • Coaching feedback
  • Highlights and content for supporters through BBTV

Alan Stott was a successful businessman in Cowdenbeath for many decades, and also a keen Blue Brazil fan.

The club's commercial director, Graham Lyons, said: “For a community football club like Cowdenbeath, support of this kind does far more than simply help financially.

“It provides breathing space, allows us to continue improving standards behind the scenes, and ensures we can continue developing players and the wider football operation properly.

“From the beginning of next season, and throughout, all training videos and match highlights shown on BBTV, supporters will also see graphics recognising this support with the message: 'Supported by The Alan Stott Legacy Fund'.

“This will remain in place through to at least the 2028/29 season, ensuring Alan’s support, kindness and lasting contribution to Cowdenbeath FC continues to be recognised for years to come”.

Graham added: “Football clubs are built on people.

“People who care deeply about their community, their club and the generations that follow behind them.

“The continued support from the Alan Stott Legacy Fund is a wonderful example of exactly that”.
