Travelling Through Fife

[RAZOR]

Was heading up from Edinbrugh today and ventured through the land they call Fife.

 

What a shithole

 

We ended up stopping at a cafe in Cowdenbeath, my god. People say Glasgow is bad but imo that area i was in was far minkier than any part of Glasgow.

 

As a football fan i nipped in by the stadium just for a some fresh air and a walkabout. Is there stadium used a graveyard for tractors?

Nets around the away end presumably for the stock cars. I was in awe on how parts of our country have stayed in the 80s.

Certainly rivals Glasgow as one of Scotland's biggest shitholes. And some of the folk shapes walking around defy belief!!

[amancalledbuck]

Fuck off.

Good god, the people. What amazes me is how much folk wonder the streets in the middle of the afternoon. Get a job and some ambition in life. FFS!

...and you were doing?

[RAZOR]

...and you were doing?

Spending a day holiday picking my brother up from airport.

[amancalledbuck]

Fuck off, you stuck up cunt.

[RAZOR]

Fuck off, you stuck up cunt.

Its nothing to do with being stuck up.

 

A homeless junkie would even tell you the area is bad.

[Monkey]

Who was driving?

Why on earth would you go past Cowdenbeath to get back north from Edinburgh airport?

And why would you go out of your way to stop there?

[fatshaft]

Fuck off.

Been to a game their once can indeed confirm the place is a fucking dump. I'm all for a bit of character at grounds but environmental hazards no, its a joke how Formartine,Turiff and Strathspey have their grounds rejected for SFA memberships but that shithole gets one.

[Dynamo]

Never been. Would probably only go if the Dons played there in the cup.

Why would any of that be a concern of yours?

[Sheep#1]

I used to work in the area and had to go there often, it is indeed a shitehole of epic proportions. However, the wee towns/villages in that whole are the same, I'd even go so far to say Ballingry and Kelty are even worse than the Beath

[essex don]

speaking as a fifer, ill confirm cowdungbeath is a shithole.

you need to realise that fife is split into three parts (minimum).

the southwest side, cowdenbeath to methil were coal mining areas when they closed the towns stayed in the 80's and they sorely lacked investment.

the fishing areas along the east neuk of fife from leven to crail, very picturesque but very little else in the way of work and the farming areas.

the farming industry is pretty good then there is st.andrews which tbh is only for the students or golf tourists

 

the whole county is really in desperate need of cash investment, moreso in cowdenbeath and surrounding areas than other parts of the county.

[Monkey]

Why would any of that be a concern of yours?

I've just never thought of Cowdenbeath as a place to "visit" on the way to anywhere else. Surely you go to Cowdenbeath for a specific purpose rather than as a tourist destination like Pitlochry or Dunkeld on the A9.

I assumed you must of got lost on the way north and ended up there seeking directions!

Best to press the accelerator down once you get over the Forth Road Bridge until you are well north of Dundee.

Was heading up from Edinbrugh today and ventured through the land they call Kingdom of Fife.

 

What a shithole

 

As in all areas, parts of it are "shithole"s to use your terminology, as well as some being more literate than others.

 

(The land they call Fife also has some of the best golf courses in Scotland )

 

As Monkey said, why did you choose to stop in Cowdenbeath? (good Spanish restaurant called La Ducal there though!) I would suggest Scumdee the toilet stop between Edinburgh/Glasgow and Aberdeen, rather than keeping accelerator down!

[tutankamun]

"Kingdom of Fife" my arse. Just rumour and speculation. A phrase always used by Fifers to imply the area has some greatness about it, or a magical quality. When in reality it's just a shithole as RAZOR says.

 

The best thing about Fife is the A90 to enable us North East folk to get through that shithole has quickly as possible, if it wasn't for St Andrews and its golf course, the place would've been bombed years ago.

[tightbreeks]

the east neuk of fife is no a bad wee bit. anstruther and pittenweem have good chippys nice wee houses by the seaside. it's just a shame its so far away from anywhere.

 

i went to knockhill not long ago for a go kart and went through cowdenbeath on the way back for a look, it's just like west and midlothian, a lot of mining towns with nothing left.

[amancalledbuck]

You can all bugger off.

Please stay on topic and stop spamming up threads with nonsense that shouldnt concern you. Thanks.

It holds host to an Aberdeen Supporters Club who have been attending week in week out since the late 70s.

They dont go every week. Cant remember the last time they had a bus.

I couldn't even tell you which buses go now, Linksfield road always seems dead on match days, I do note seeing the Fife bus every game home and away over the years.
