an86 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 When will these fucking idiots wise up and realise that you can't actually kick someone out of something that they own? I'm willing to engage in debate as to whether we could/should play at Lesser, but as soon as someone starts that shite it's game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 How is anyone supposed to take Queen's Park seriously when we share our ground with the worst National team in Scottish football history. The Sun Couldn't even get the match picture right The Sun readers Davie Provan Arse-wipe journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Met Provan at a Radio Clyde supporters quiz back in the day. Derek Johnstone, the other "captain", was a gent whilst Provan was as ignorant as you'd imagine. Unfortunately, the words of former OF players is what passes as news nowadays. That said, there is a growing movement amongst the high heid yins to move out of Hampden. Lawell pulls the strings and it wouldn't surprise me if the big games end up at Parkhead in the medium term. And if anyone is deluded enough to think that the games would be shared between Ibrox and Parkhead, you would have to ask why. Other than semi-finals involving Celtic, why would you play any games at a ground with a smaller capacity than Hampden? Do the non-OF fans want the Scottish game to be moved to the home of one of the two sides who suck all the cash up in the first place? Not that they'll be asked. There's a survey for fans coming out this week; rest assured, what the fans want won't happen. It'll be no change on internationals on Sunday evenings, ridiculous stewarding and all of the rest of the pish that we have to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Decent results last night. Three very tough games coming up. Alloa, East Fife and Rovers away. The third of those could be particularly significant. If we can take three or four points from those, we should be in good nick to stay up. Will probably need at least five points if we're going to stay in the hunt for fourth. Anything beyond safety is gravy, though. Staying up was the aim and if we manage to do it with something to spare it'll be a superb achievement. Arguably a bigger achievement than promotion was.

CathcartSkins Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Re "kick the QP out of Hampden" nonsense; personally am fed up SFA riding roughshod over us and sycophantism of the QP board in their dealing with the SFA. About time we told the SFA their lease is not being renewed; sold Hampden and pocketed the cash to ensure the long term survival and growth of the club. Now, I know this is a very unlikely scenario; the QP board love their comfy chairs too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I know this is a very unlikely scenario; the QP board love their comfy chairs too much. I think the priority should be to stay at Hampden. Wouldn't be a tragedy if we played at an upgraded Lesser Hampden, but Hampden is our home. Hampden is a lucrative spot. The number of world famous acts that play concerts there is a money maker. The number of Old Firm semis/finals also means a neutral ground is needed. Heritage and history is also important, but only to the punter. What should happen is redevelopment. Hampden, as it stands, is not fit for purpose to compete along with modern stadia across Europe. It's not spectator friendly, unless you're in the North or South Stand. I'd like to see it developed to bring the stands closer to the action. More controversially, I'd like to see the most hi-tech artifical surface laid. It's unsustainable to keep having concerts on the pitch and having to relay it. However, ideas cost money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really disagree with too much of what you say; however, we are a football club, not a concert venue. I value enormously the history and heritage of the club but have no sentimental attachment to a stadium layout of less then 20 years old; which the media and some sections of Scottish football fraternity use as a stick to beat us with. Finally; I don't think it is our responsibility to be some sort of holding-pen for other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with that suggestion, but only on the proviso that if we ever play Clyde again (presumably as a non-league team in the Scottish Cup ) that their fans be forced to sit in the most shitty seats available........karma for all their bitching about the view for away supporters.

an86 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Would also fully expect any future deal to end up with a sponsorship in front of the stadium name. SSE Hampden Park or something of that nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathcartSkins Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 From the President blog today; "but members and supporters of Queen’s Park FC would be well advised to rely only on official announcements from ourselves and from the Scottish FA." Safe to say, that I will not be relying on anything the SFA announce; on the subject of our ground or any else for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
