The premier league was expanding to twelve. The winners of the first division (St Mirren) went up automatically, with second, third and the bottom premier team involved in some sort of convoluted playoff for the remaining two places However, because Falkirk finished third without a compliant stadium, Dunfermline were promoted automatically and Aberdeen were spared relegation. If Rovers had finished third, the playoffs would have happened. -
Queen’s Park v Raith Rovers

Just back from the game. It was a strange one - the first half was a half of two halves with Rovers dominant for 20 minutes then Queen's thereafter. Despite there being few shots, it was actually quite an enjoyable game with no hoofball and very few fouls. Obviously we went a bit more direct once Hamilton came on and the game stretched a bit. Great save from Ferrie at the end to deny Stanton. Overall, if it had been a boxing match, Rovers would have just edged it on points, but we took too long to show any sort of penetration. Defensively, a great shift to keep Thomas and Paton so quiet. I've a feeling this might turn out to be a better point than it, at first, seems and if we do fall just short of United, I certainly don't think this will be a game we would say the title was lost. -

Agree with this. Queen's have genuine potential match winners in Thomas and Paton. I'm not sure there are many other sides out with the top three you can say that about. -

I honestly didn't think it looked like there was 2000 in the away end on Saturday, but if you take the 4300 Rovers fans away from the total crowd (circa 6300), there must have been. As far as East Fife wanting Championship football in three years - about ten years ago a Leven businessman claimed he'd make them a top 16 club in the country. In the interim period, they've been relegated twice to the bottom division. -

The Queen of the South thread

Was there not a game where Farm got injured and instead of going off, played up front and scored? It might not have been that game, but I can vaguely remember doing a piece on him for the Rovers programme a couple of seasons back and I'm sure that happened to him in a game. -

I always knew it as the Tropicana, my dad knew it as Sexton's and my gran knew it as the West End bar. -

Stark's Bark started around 1992 then went into a hiatus from 1994-95 before reappearing at the start of the European season. It lasted until around 2002. Some of the Glasgow mafia apparently took exception to some of the home truths in it, but that's not the reason it stopped.
