I heard that Guti could be interested in taking over at Palmy if he doesn't get the Real Madrid gig.

Please, it's "His Dudeness" to us mere mortals.

How do you know they "do nout"?

Okay, so what is it that our groundsmen are doing wrong then?

Do you know if the lamps are being upgraded to LEDs this time round?

snicker snicker 😀

Was it not him that left the last time because he was homesick?

Palmerston's capable of holding 20,000 for this type of concert but due to the limitations of the exits from the ground 14,000 is possible and 8,000 the most likely.

Moving on slightly from all the doom and gloom a wee bird tells me that the much maligned Queens commercial department is lining up a major gig to take place at Palmerston in June. Excellent work Mrs T

Don't ever remember him having that nickname. Graeme Dalziel was the only football playing "Diesel" I know. (same age group as Graeme Robertson) The only nickname I remember for Graeme Robertson was less than complimentary and a reference to female genitalia.

You didn't notice all the new crush barriers, turnstiles and pieshop as well?

Don't worry Mustafa there will be some lovely new yellow markings for you in due course. There will also be a lot of work to the old barriers and a few new ones too. There will be 3 turnstiles in the corner next to the end of the East stand and toilets and catering will be provided behind where the old pie shed used to be. The exit will be from the west end of the Terregles St. terrace. There is quite a bit of work to be done at the exit gate (at the bottom of the lighting pylon). The capacity will be almost double what it is at the moment, taking it up to about 1900. If they can fill that end 6 times this season it should more than pay for itself

I think the intention is for it to be open for the big 3 only. Really unless the away crowd is likely to be more than 1100ish (half of the East stand) then there is no need to open the Terregles St. terrace, although I do agree it would be good to have the option of standing. The final capacity of the Terregles Street will be in the region of 1800 so realistically only Hibs, Hearts and Rangers are going to need about 2,900 away tickets.

Don't know about that. I thought it would be up to the players to decide what numbers they wanted. Like lucky numbers or something significant to them. Antoine-Curier, i think, had the number 99 last season. I can see a few of these in our squad!

Heard from a very reliable source on Monday that Zander was due to sign that day.
