Just a quick question for Queen's Park fans, with the Hampden being used for the Commonwealth Games in 2014, has it been decided where QP will play their home games during that period?

Nothing's been announced so far.

I originally suspected we would probably be going to Airdrie, but since the Warriors are quitting Firhill I think we will end up there, and I see in today's papers Thistle are talking about installing a plastic pitch which would make it more likely.

Fair enough.

i'm assuming where ever you end you'll be getting some £££ from the games organisers, even if you do go to Maryhill it's still going to be a pain for your fans having to travel that extra distance.

I'm sure I've asked this before, if so apologies... but is the 4-lane warm-up track going around Lesser Hampden a permanent fixture or also temporary, like the stadium track? Is the clubhouse/seating etc. up-for-the-chop?

Pity Glasgow City Council never got their finger out a while back and allowed the takeover of Cathkin Park to occur, they could have bunked in with the Hi Hi back at their old ground a stone's throw away (or probably not, but it's nice to have a dream! )

Thistle have already publicly stated that they would welcome Queens Park to groundshare at Firhill and an approach was made a few months ago.

Broadwood? Since Clyde want out asap !

A season at Airdrie would be a nightmare but one at Firhill would be good fun. Personally, it's not local and the same for some other folk I know but I'm sure there are a fair few Spiders who live closer to Firhill than Hampden. It's also a ground where we've enjoyed some success relatively recently.

I'm not sure that being within walking distance of the Woodlands Road every second Saturday would do my liver much good.

If it's not good enough for the likes of Clyde, it's certainly not good enough for us!

The warm-up track is only for the games. The current portacabins complex will be replaced with a smaller, permanent structure beside the old clubhouse and seating area.

It is good enough,simply too expensive.

Thistle would welcome Auld Nick just now.

Aye, the sesh that year would be utterly ridiculous but bring it on. Firhill would do me, can get the 44 or 66 bus straight over to the West End from virtually outside my close door

Due to my circumstances I'd ideally like a ground share with Watford FC for that period but realistically Firhill is the best option surely
