Mustafa_sheet Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 why the hell would you want to stay overnight in dumfries for . hellhole dumfries . check the bus x74 stagecoach glasgow to dumfries . sure there are late buses at weekends wear a stab proof vest mate lol Get a grip yah gimp. Dumfries is probably one of the safest towns of its size in the country and is time and time again voted the best “away day” by travelling fans. A night out is what you make it.......Maybe your take on Dumfries says more about you than about the town itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Can’t wait for this. It has all the makings of a great cup tie. We usually take a healthy away support in the Scottish Cup so with it being such an attractive away day, I’d be surprised if we took less than 1500. I haven’t been to Dumfries for about 8 years. My last visit was a grim 1-0 defeat under Ian McCall. Some of my best and worst experiences have been at Palmerston. The best being my first pitch invasion, when we celebrated avoiding the drop into the bottom league in the late 90’s. The worst was the game that pretty much sealed our second consecutive relegation - a horrible 3-1 defeat at the end of season 04/05. Fights breaking out amongst our fans all afternoon.

If Thistle are bringing more than about 900, think they will open the terracing behind the goal at the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a Saturday game (hopefully) I reckon 1000+ is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakpiegravy Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thistle at home in the Scottish Cup 4th round in season 79/80 was my 3rd ever Queens game age 12. Looking forward to a different result this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an equaliser in the last minute of a cup final. Even if we went on to lose, those were great scenes. However, effectively securing promotion at home in front of 9,000 fans was just a better experience, and far more important for our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall you won 1-0 in an utterly dreadful game in freezing weather. Are you saying those were the glory days instead of the cup win?

WILLIEA Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 It's a bit tragic seeing fans of a diddy team trying to act the Billy Big Baws towards those of a slightly diddier team. Still! Carry on if it makes you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a different result this time! I didn't want to be the first old git to bring that game up, but it stands out for me too. A crowd of 7,500 as I recall. It felt like a really big game at the time. Thistle had some decent, fairly high profile players and were too strong. We played alright though. Some daftie staged a one man pitch invasion for no obvious reason at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
