Spike, it is the only way to compete in a playing field that is not level. Even the very best of players can't cope with the opposition bursting a gut for every ball and then chasing it down when they lose it. As you say, that's the only reason Livingston are where they are, because their home gates don't merit their league position.
Throwing money at Palmerston will probably never bring results, but hard graft and 100% self belief may very well allow the team to punch above their weight
That has been my philosophy in life, and for me, it's the only way to move Queens forward.
