Virtual Game of the Week: Cowdenbeath v Stenhousemuir

As clubs up and down the land face up to the reality of no football for the foreseeable future (and those below the National League left to contemplate the - truly - gobsmacking decision of the FA to void the entire 2019/20 campaign) ,many are looking at ways in which they can keep some income coming in to stave off the threat of proud histories being similarly expunged.

I like the idea of virtual admission, where supporters pay what would they normally would on a matchday if at all possible, such as at Cowdenbeath this coming Saturday for what would have been a home game at Central Park against Stenhousemuir, one of four remaining home fixtures in the Scottish League Two campaign.

An excellent article on the club website recently sums up the challenge involved in keeping Cowdenbeath afloat, an ongoing task that has been accelerated by recent events while for anyone looking for a slightly different book for the days and nights indoors then I can heartily recommend Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil by Ron Ferguson.
