  • Cowdenbeath have the fewest scored goals (20) in League Two

This stadium has artifical turf, which is not Cowdenbeath's usual surface at their own pitch. When playing on artifical turf Cowdenbeath have performed like this: Played 17 matches resulting in 4 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats with the goal numbers 15-21 (scored/conceded).
