 Lowland League
Topic Originator: Stanza

I know it`s very early days, but after 2 or 3 matches in the Lowland Leagues East & West, three long-established former SPFL clubs look as if they might have relegation worries this season.

In the West League, from 2 games Albion Rovers have 0 points. But they are probably safe, as the bottom two at the end of the season are likely to be Dalbesttie Star and Newton Stewart, who seem well out of their depth.

In the East League, Cowdenbeath have 0 points from 3 games, and Berwick Rangers have 1 point from 2 games. Obviously a long way to go, but if they were to be relegated, Cowden would drop to the East of Scotland Premier League and find themselves playing against the likes of Thornton Hibs and Dundonald Bluebell.

Sad to say that Cowden will just be one slow permanent decline. The stadium rental is a killer, and sadly the locals are more interested in the Ugly Sisters. A good club, but not enough support, and will eventually end up in a lower league and find their level. Incredibly there has been a club started up Cowdenbeath Central) original name Blue Brazil) which would take some support away.

I was at The Haws V The Shire game, and even though it was a decent game, I can`t see where the Shire can go- ground sharing at Ochilview again.

Berwick is a bit of a travesty, they just made one bad move in the seniors, and ended up losing constantly and getting relegated. They then did what most teams do, kept the budget to try and get promoted again, and ended up losing too much money. They actually have a support big enough for the seniors still, but not enough to recruit in a difficult area.

Albion Rovers in a sizeable town suffer even more from OF support, and they are down permanently - all fine clubs with a good history, but hard to see any coming back, and there are plenty of good `new` clubs that are taking over and will add to the senior leagues.
