Scottish League Division 2, Cowdenbeath 1 Stenhousemuir 1, Attendance 455 This is one of the most unusual Scottish football grounds, due it being ringed by a stock car race track. The novelty of that might have made up for being a bit further away from the action, but the presence of a very high wire fence, to avoid the spectators later on being decapitated by flying wheels and bumpers, doesn't really add to the viewing experience. Cowdenbeath are regularly one of the worst teams in Scotland, and this year is proving no exception. After this game they were eight points adrift at the foot of Scotland's bottom (fourth-tier) league. It is hard to see them not being involved in the relegation / promotion play-off at the end of this season. There are two non-league leagues in Tier 5 : the Lowland League and the Highland League. The winners of these leagues have a two-legged playoff to earn the right for another two-legged playoff with the Football League's bottom club. On today's showing, a demotion for Cowdenbeath would be no great loss to football as a whole.
