Don't quite understand the point regarding too many games in midweek. By Saturday's match at Cumbernauld, Rovers will have played 2 midweek fixtures in a 6 week period. That period includes a free Saturday, when they didn't have a fixture.
If they can't hack that, time to break out the tiddlywinks board.

I think that’s our 4th league midweek game Robert this season ( 3 of them at home). My issue isn’t over too many games over fitness and performance. Attendance wise and financially I would of thought more beneficial for Rovers on a Saturday. Just my thoughts.

Fair point Buchanan. It is clearly a drain on finance, especially if only 100 or so diehards turn up, season ticket in hand, and the opposition fans arrive on a tandem. An even bigger drain on club finance, if the games are away from home.
The top JUNIOR teams have their league games, Scottish Cup, Scottish Junior Cup, West of Scotland Cup, and South Challenge Cup to contend with, but as I have said in recent posts, some of them have the luxury of gate money from regular attendances of several hundred and occasionally gates approaching or exceeding 1000.
If the Rovers could attract the citizens of Coatbridge in such numbers, there would be no cause for concern regarding extra midweek games, in fact it would be the exact opposite. Remember season 2013/14, when 1100 or so travelled to Ibrox on a Sunday, and turned up again for the midweek replay at Hamilton.

Those were the days my friend. Your father was on cloud nine, if my memory serves me well.
