On Saturday at the match v East Kilbride Alex Haddow organised a collection to help raise funds for Cowdenbeath FC's new initiative Club 135. Among those helping with the bucket collection was long-time Cowden fan Matty Aitken who had travelled all the way up from Liverpool to support his home town club. Thanks to Alex and Matty and the other volunteers involved a sum of £515.65 was raised from fans attending the game - what a great effort!
The 50/50 draw on Saturday was won by another Cowdenbeath exile Jim Blair who had come up to the game from Nottingham. Jim scooped a win of £250 and had no hesitation in pledging the full amount straight away to Club 135 - a great gesture by Jim.
Among others making their own personal contributions to Club 135 on Saturday were Dave Room and Alison Allan as another £199 was handed over.
So, as you can see, Club 135 is really gaining momentum and following Saturday's result that is what we are aiming for both on and off the field. So many turned up and did their bit for our Club on Saturday and that same approach and commitment to Club 135 will be key going forward.
