The “reserve” setup was binned after I, accidentally, discovered the extent of the expenses being paid to some of those involved in its running. There was also the opinion, of the football staff, that the reserve squad just wasn’t up to it.
Worth noting that, during my time on the Board, I was assured that it “cost us next to nothing” to field a reserve team. The opposite was, in fact, true and we wasted an awful lot of money over the 5+ years it was in operation that could’ve been spent better elsewhere.

All those years yet no one on the board during that time had any inclination that a ‘reserve’ team cost money. Jings, just as well there wasn’t any snake oil salesmen kicking around at the time or we would have been in a heap of trouble

Honestly?. For me the sooner this season ends the better.

Rovers no longer have a reserve team. Well earlier in the season in several programmes there was a reserve team page. They play or played in the Scottish Unity Football League. There hasn't been any mention of it in recent programmes so I'm assuming the league has long since finished for the season. 29 players listed as members of Rovers Reserves.

Indeed we did have one but no longer do!

So is Graeme Livingaton Reserve Coach no longer at the club and I assume none of the players were promoted to first team Squad or training ? BTW Cha Henderson started on bench first few games of this season but never got any minutes on the pitch .

Indeed Graeme Liveston who was in charge of the reserves departed when the team were disbanded.

That was excellent the coverage of match and focus on fans too. Love it. Just didn't love the score.
