That’s a bold lineup
The only players that I’d change from Saturday would be Williamson and Savoury coming in.
Agreed.
Not sure why anyone would want to take a wrecking ball to the team just as we're building up a bit of a momentum. Especially when it's one of most prestigious cup competitions in the world and our win record at Peterhead is pretty abysmal - only two wins up there since they joined the SFL back in 2000. Writing off the opposition is usually when a team gets a bloody nose. They'll be right up for this.
We should be going full strength imo but there is no doubt Coyle will make a few changes. Probably similar to Cliftonville.

Apart from a few stormers chucked in there for good measure (Arbroath away esp.) I'd argue we have won some of those games in spite of having that big cabbage at the back
Aye, nae bother. So we all know the big man has had a few dodgy moments. Erratic would be the best word to describe his time in the team. Ayr away was a shocker for him but he wasn't the only one that day. But do you not think he then had a really good game at Firhill, for example? Made a goal saving block tackle first half and scored a fine header. A pretty much faultless display tbf. I've not got a problem with constructive criticism but you should also dish out praise when it's deserved. If you don't then you just create a scapegoat.
For what it's worth, I also think Fox is a better player and it should be him and Kilday for the foreseeable future.

Interestingly if Lesser Hampden is not ready by end of December the clashes start falling with Stenhousemuir rather than Syngenta. You've had to move several games around the Dyes, but they've altered some to help you. Would the Warriors?
The simple answer is no. One of those games moved was because Stennie were at home. And quite rightly so.

and like our stadium will there be a bar which away fans can access.
We've been told our social club will be open as usual on match days so I'm assuming away fans will be welcome there like they were before.

It's the same old story, we struggle to put the ball in the net.
Nah, our main struggle is keeping the ball out of our net. We've tossed away quite a few points this season from winning positions because of daft goals conceded.

So it's Awfulview on Saturday and two hours standing on freezing terracing for away fans, no fuckin way am I doing a cove scenario straining to see the game.
Don't think it will be any warmer in the stand mate but a lot of QP fans would be more than happy to be on the terrracing instead

Away cans are able to buy tickets in the South Stand if you need to. Just need to call the office: 01416321275
Away cans are always the best

All this talk of a Hampden return is really starting to annoy me (even more than the Premiership chat)
I really don't want to go back there. And - apart from the rumour about these two games next month when Ochilview isn't available - there is no need to go back there as long as we're no higher than the Championship (let's be honest, that's not happening anytime soon, we're not good enough)
If we can put up a "temporary" North stand while (and after) we build the South Stand then that will be fine for the Championship.

Oh and 30 of the seats at the back (20 non padded, 10 padded) have now been tagged as “restricted view seats”
Are these going to be the media seats? If so then that's less of an issue for me as they don't pay. But as Tattie36 says, how does that happen in a modern new stand? So weird.

So the royal box doesn't accomodate all the vip needs of the club? why was it built with such a limited capacity? Surely questions need to be asked about the reasoning behind it being built in the first place and it hindering the potential for expanding the capacity of the stadium. Also it looks awful.
Yeah, I'm guessing the padded seats in the middle will be for the hospitality punters. So you're spot on. Why the f**k they didn't make that diddy "VIP" stand bigger to house them is just mental. Especially as the hospitality lounge is going to be in the JB McAlpine upstairs.

Last time some of the troops tried but settled for an open meeting, suggested by the President as a better format. Fully understand why they did so, and it was more than we had previously, but an EGM is a formal event requiring minutes, actions etc. The group-hug version made everyone feel fuzzy on the night but nothing ever came of any of the promises. If anyone is thinking of going down this route I would strongly recommend doing it by the book this time.
The main reason why we were persuaded to withdraw our request for an official EGM the last time was because we were informed by the President that our CEO couldn't attend it as she wasn't a member and he wanted her to do a presentation. He insisted that only members were allowed. The point was made that the previous club secretary/GM used to attend members' meetings to take minutes but he insisted she was made a member to do so (?) We all really wanted Dempster there to answer our questions and address our concerns so we relented.
Then at last December's club AGM by zoom, imagine our surprise when Laurie Ellis made an appearance and gave us an update on the playing side of things. All very welcome of course (despite him being out a job a couple of weeks later) but he wasn't a member of the club.
Therefore we were lied to previously. The committee can do whatever the f**k they want when they feel like it.
So aye, don't worry. We won't get fooled again.

This is a valid concern. It's such a common occurrence that I came to believe weeks if not months ago that he's simply been told not to come out and collect crosses when there are defenders in front of him. I don't think there's any other explanation for it.
And the one time we actually need him to stay on his line and collect a high ball sailing safely straight towards him (Dundee game) he comes rushing off his line like a maddie and the ball goes straight over his head.
There is no doubt he has made some great saves this season - I think he's made the most saves in the division (was told this was mentioned during the TV commentary) - but that probably says more about our defence. We really need a keeper that can command his penalty area, especially at set pieces. He's currently struggling to take command of the six yard box.

Folk will say nobody has ever been knocked back,
Oh there's been a few knocked back over the years. Back when the committee was full of decrepit out of touch ex-players who thought fans showing passion for the team or expressing opinions just wasn't on.

Hold on, is this true? It's very easy to lose track of all of the bullshit promises given how much of an utter fucking shambles Dempster's made of overseeing the build, but that's a resignation issue.
Can't remember exactly when it was but I was at a meeting (the one with Beuker and Coyle in attendance) where I'm sure she said it definitely wouldn't be ready in time for the League Cup games and that we might have to play the first few opening league games elsewhere. It was all a bit vague but like you I've kind of lost track.
Let's also remember the initial plans were scrapped and we had to pay off the previous contractor. That was apparently Dempster's decision when she started to oversee the construction project. So I totally blame the committee for much of this delay. I think we can all agree the original design they went for wasn't great (not that the current one is that much better imo) Even if we hadn't turned pro and subsequently not got investment from Haughey, we'd still have to build a new ground. And with even less money. But we'd be nowhere near the Championship so we'd probably have enough in the bank from the Hampden sale to build one with an adequate capacity for League 2 (or Lowland more like)

Fantastic value in those £95 kids season tickets
Of course now the same kids will have to choose between going to the game or attending the regular Friday night community coaching sessions. That's a shambles.
I'm absolutely done with the people who are supposed to be running our club on our behalf. Dempster aside, wtf are the committee - sorry, directors as they like to be known now - up to? They've all been involved with the club a lot longer than her and are supposed to know better. What exactly do most of them do now anyway? Absolutely f**k all is the answer. Their privileged status is just a perk for the chocolate teapots these days.

He made the effort to travel down, that's all you can ask for. Not got a problem with anyone leaving when we're five nil down and getting truly embarrassed on the pitch.
In hindsight, I wish I'd been sensible enough to join him.

Probably the one solitary occasion I’m more likely to go on a Friday night than Saturday. Arbroath away on Christmas Eve is just asking for Christmas Day to be taken right out of the game.
Fine with me

I think both clubs and especially both sets of players would’ve wanted that game moved so they can enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas more with their friends and families. Playing on Christmas Eve and not getting home till 8/9/10pm at night is not great especially when a lot of these guys will have young kids.
I was hoping all our wrapping would be done by the time I stumbled home on Christmas Eve. Now I've got a full day of that to look forward to.

We could drop any of the eleven from Saturday and none of them could have any complaints. The whole team were varying degrees of horrific.
If I was Thomson or Thomas and I was dropped then I'd definitely have complaints. Both of them were the only guys that turned up last week imo

How is the ground work getting on?
What is being built?
It's getting on very slowly indeed.
Currently still attempting to build one stand for punters with around 1,000 seats. They said it that would be finished this month. They're now aiming for early December. Can't see it being ready until January at the earliest tbh.
After that's done, they will start building a 500 seater stand behind the goal. Next summer I think

As for QP and their poor turn-out of fans at the game, I don't buy some of the excuses offered for their literally no-show yesterday - they're well up the league and would have gone top yesterday if they'd managed a win. We had been stuttering with 3 straight defeats and could have been viewed as there-for-the-taking yesterday. Now compare and contrast with our game at Ochilview on a Friday in early August after a very poor run of results for us both in the league and in the league cup - but we still had a tremendous turn out of fans there. And got a deserved win. So I'm sorry - your fans need to try an awful lot harder imv.
How on earth are we supposed to grow our away support before we've even been able to grow our home support? We haven't been able to attend a home game in the southside since March 2020.
But aye, try harder......jesus

Shite patter.
Still more acceptable than the Tory patter from you. We've always had a small support and we always will have imo. The majority of our support has absolutely no control over what our club is doing off the pitch, we're just going along to support our team like we've always done. Obviously we're delighted with the investment in the team but do you think we're happy with what's currently going on with our stadium build? Sober up
