A winning team would of course be nice and help get more fans through the gates. Whichever way we look at it though, the main stand is going to be a problem that will need to be addressed in the next decade or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmerston is an absolute dump these days. I’m sure if the local environmental health officer saw the state of the pie shop in the New Stand they would close the place down!! Bins next to a condiment table that looks like it hasn’t seen a wet cloth in months. Disgusting as well as unhygienic It was that picture that made me wince the most. Palmerston is the last of it's kind, it can't be allowed to fall in to disrepair. That said it's easy for me/us to sit behind a keyboard and spend other peoples money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old lady should never be replaced but just given some much needed TLC. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fresh coat of paint, weeding, grass strimming, emptying bins, power hosing and disposing of damaged signs etc doesn’t cost the earth. Where has taking pride in our appearance gone within the club?! Take Stair Park for example……… it’s amazing what a fresh lick of paint can do to the overall appearance of the place.

Maybe the Tanner fund collection could be matched by the Board and spent on ground maintenance instead of a new player? Obviously wouldnt solve things, but would be a start 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, such things are cosmetic, but they do matter. As pointed out elsewhere, I don't suppose anyone would be fixating on a bit of decay, if the current Queens team was riding high. The fact is though, that it perhaps looks as if little pride is taken in our club and its surroundings these days. That can be infectious.

louisxiv Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I see that the Cove game is on the SFA site as being scheduled for Saturday 27 November. Can anyone tell me if I can safely assume that it will be played on that date and time or are there still negotiations (TV?) to take place. Would like to start organising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if it wasnt the saturday but the two clubs havent been in touch yet to discuss. There isnt any point till tv confirm and that was only yesterday. I'd guess it only wouldnt be the saturday if the stadium was unavailable for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you perhaps pass on some of these photographs so he can see for himself the state of the place please. The table at the catering facility must be dealt with ASAP. Absolutely disgusting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae_the_'briggs Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I've no idea tbf, and I'm not making excuses for the Board, but is the catering not sub-let from the club? If so someone wants to have a word with the caterers. Even if the onus is on the Club it wouldn't cost a fortune to tidy that area up. I've often thought it was a poor layout in the East Stand, you come through the turnstile and the tea bar is almost right in front of you, it's a bit of a bottleneck at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeyman Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Last season we went on our good run when due to injuries the team picked itself and AJ couldn’t tinker with the team. As soon as he could again lo and behold we started losing again. Before the start of the league this season we had a small squad and looked reasonably decent. The bigger the squad AJ has the more he is able to arse it up by tinkering with the team. We aren’t Man City, Liverpool, etc who have stars as back up in every position. play to our strengths rather than worrying about the opposition. Oh wait we are 11 games into the season and still doesn’t know our strengths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
