Strapo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The spl is an opportunity for higher gates every week and celtic at home twice who cares about playing SEVCO and hearts but in reality do you think hewitson would let them go up if the opportunity arose because of the money that would need pumping in. I would love to see nothing more than spl football at Palmerston but this year I would say unlikely. I personally think we need a couple of seasons to build for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously suggesting the Chairman doesnt want the club promoted? Any increase in spend would be offset by the increase in revenue. As Cammy said, we might come straight back down again, but theres no reason anyone would have to "pump money in" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I don't want to watch Queens bumble about in the second tier playing the same teams and celebrating being slightly better than midtable for all my life. Why shouldn't Queens be competitive, if Ross County can last at the top level then why can't we. I don't care about playing The Rangers next year and It wouldn't concern me in the slightest if we never played them again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strapo Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I meant the initial spend of going up will Palmerston need upgrades and such like just think financially it makes sense to set up for it so we aim to stay there I would love to see nothing more than qos in spl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I would love to see nothing more than qos in spl Stop inventing obstacles about having to pump in radically more than we'd make, alongside a non-existent need to upgrade the ground then. And stop calling the top flight the SPL. Edited March 19, 2014 by Monkey Tennis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 So not quite a once in a lifetime opportunity, but still something that hasn't happened for over half a century. And people would rather sacrifice it for a couple of games against The Rangers. Depressing. This exactly. Some people are salivating at the thought of playing rangers (and Hearts) next season and the money these ties will bring in. I have said before that promotion to the Premierleague would be more of an earner over the season with TV money and the possibility of more travelling fans from the other clubs, certainly the visit of Celtic, Hibs, Kilmarnock (if they survive), Aberdeen and Dundee Utd would boost the average. Fair enough some Premierleague clubs may not have a big travelling support but in most cases it would be bigger than the crowds that most of the current Championship sides bring. We are currently in the play-off position with a lot of work still to do to decide what division we will be in next season but any Queens fan worth their salt should be hoping that we can go all the way. If we don't make it, fair enough, as long as we give it our best shot, and I'll welcome rangers and Hearts, etc, and their fans' money to Palmerston but it can't be preferable to playing in the top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS LEFT PEG Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Ryan McGuffie has had an eventful and mixed start to his time in Oz. On the good side , he scored twice in a 5-3 win over their local rivals . The bad thing was that the house he is staying at got broken into on only his third night . Phones , passport and a large amount of money got stolen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSOUTH Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Queen of the South must and am sure are thriving to get to the top league and why not. The top league has a far bigger and better following so why on earth would we want to stay where we are? It could be the rangers & hearts Alloa, Dumbarton cowdenbeath or Celtic Aberdeen Dund utd Motherwell hibs killie etc you choose I know who I would rather play! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 May or may not be interesting. League table between 1st December and now: QoS 27 pts Dundee 26 pts Falkirk 25 pts Dumbarton 22 pts Hamilton 22 pts Livingston 19 pts Cowdenbeath 18 pts Alloa Ath 14 pts Raith Rov 11 pts Morton 7 pts Most clubs have played 14 games in that period. Alloa have played 15 though and Morton only 13. Doesn't really mean an awful lot at the end of the day but it does show how consistent we've been over the last 3 or 4 months. We've lost three games in that period, once each to the three sides above us in the real table. As pointed out on the OS we haven't lost a match to anyone outside a playoff position since Dumbarton beat us back in September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I just hope we haven't "peaked too early" because if we can keep this level of consistency going into the playoffs the momentum will definitely be with us. Certainly over a poor Premiership side that is used to losing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
