It’s unlikely that streaming games within the UK and Ireland will be permitted this season. The Premier Sports cup group stages can be streamed domestically but all the indications are that it won’t be allowed for league fixtures.

This isn’t correct. You’ve posted a number of times on here in the last few months about the board being tight and not supporting the manager at the time(whether McCall, Caldwell or Archibald), which isn’t true either - maybe don’t believe every rumour which is spread about.

Surely not given we asked for our home cup games to be rounds 4 and 5 so the pitch was finished? Saturday 16th July? Yeah, if the pitch is ready then we’ll have a friendly at Firhill. When we asked for home cup matches on rounds 4 and 5, we didn’t know when our away games would be. That we are missing round 3, presents an opportunity. If it’s not ready for a match then we’ll play it somewhere else behind closed doors.

All being well, there will be a Firhill friendly that Saturday.

As anticipated, Fraserburgh and Montrose will be at Firhill at the end of July. A trip to Stenny to start and a Killie telly tie too.

Yes, both dates and kick off times are confirmed. Full info on all matches in the play-offs are here: https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/promotion-play-off-place-secured/

You'll keep the gate money for the home tie only - no sharing of gates ala cup games. There is an SPFL levy of 50% on the Premiership play-off but this doesn't seem to be in effect for the Champ/League One play-offs so the full gate would be yours.

All TV money(whether BBC Scotland Championship deal or the Sky Premiership telly deal) goes into a centralised pot and is distributed on finishing position - Championship clubs probably win in this regard as they get more money guaranteed based on finishing position for the inconvenience of two Friday night games. For the Premiership play-offs, each team keeps their home gates and the SPFL take 50% of the profits, after a 15% cost expense is deducted - I believe it helps to partially fund the parachute payments from Premiership to Championship for relegated teams. There are also minimum prices that were introduced after Rangers charged everyone a 5er for their play-off v Motherwell.

I heard that Queen’s Park were looking at an alternative venue for their playoffs but nothing has been confirmed. Thistle are, almost, in the playoffs too so work will begin once the final game has been played by ourselves and QP in May.

Our directors sit in a directors box within the Jackie Husband Stand rather than the box your directors were sitting in this afternoon - it's been that way all season.

If we finish 4th then QP will play on Wednesday 4th after our game on Tuesday 3rd(live on BBC so ours won't get shifted). In the unlikely event we finish 3rd, QP will play on Tuesday 3rd to give maximum gap between our games with our home match on Friday 6th.

Oops, Brownlie signed an extension last July. Will amend.

Good to see that you have erased the East End Park scudding from memory quickly - wish I could do the same!

Lewis Mayo is available for this game. He's joining up with Scotland under 21s after Tuesday's match, I believe.

Sorry, are you saying that there is water seeping through from the canal which affects the pitch? If you are, I'm afraid that isn't true either.
