Franchise or Brave New World? It's now sixteen years since Livingston moved from the
Meadowbank Stadium, changed their name and their town. Alasdair Sim writes on a
rollercoaster ride.
The ‘death knell' for Livingston Football Club was due to be heralded in 2009 shortly after
the team were demoted to the Siberia-esque echelons of the Scottish Football League.
Frontman of Glasvegas, James Allan once played as a winger for Cowdenbeath, East Fife, Queen's
Park, Gretna, Stirling Albion and Dumbarton, making 105 appearances in the Scottish Football
League. He was part of the Cowdenbeath squad that won promotion as runners up in the 2000–01
Scottish Third Division.
