There are so many reasons why this is a bad idea, it is beyond a joke. However the biggest issue is bound to be player fatigue and injuries and that is exactly how it has panned out for Hibs, leaving us to have to field a makeshift team against Rangers on Saturday and Brandon Barker hobbling off in the first 10 minutes. It is such bad planning that it is simply nonsensical.
It's not exactly fair on supporters either, who are expected to shell out five times in 14 days if they want to support their team.
Just taking one of those matches out of the 14 day period and moving it to next Saturday, would have made a huge difference and would also have meant that we now wouldn't have to wait 2 weeks for our next fixture. Why is there a break next week ? There is no International match till March 23rd ?? Am I missing something or are those in charge of our league idiots ?
