Should just have recovered from the festive excesses in time for Elgin and Peterhead away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be wanting someone of that age to have sufficient experience to help our younger players, but he seems something of an under-achiever and well past the benefit of the doubt stage. Makes me wonder if Gus is just getting bodies on board just now and will sort out the wheat from the chaff in pre-season training and friendlies, but we'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a punt on the basis of him being decent for Annan at this level. Hasn’t done much since he left, but hopefully we can see the best of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the last two seasons? To paraphrase First Engineer Scott, he cannae give it any more power.

Ignore my colleague Sancho, as he doesn't have a clue what he talking about. Conor is one of the most talented midfielders ever to play for the club, with superb dribbling skills and an eye for the killer pass. His goals stats will also confirm he's one of the most unselfish players you'll ever see as even when he has an open goal he'd prefer to lay it on for one of his team-mates to get the glory. Indeed, were it to be published, you'd probably find he's QP's all time record-holder for assists. The sooner you get Conor in the team as your playmaker and ship a by comparison average Davie Anderson back to us, then the more you'll be thanking me, trust me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, how's the wee maestro doing, is he 100% recovered from his injury problems and back to his scintillating best, or is he a bit more conservative these days and leaves the running to the youngsters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Missed a few games this season but finished the season on a high, still covers every blade of grass, he is the best example to younger players that I have ever seen. The fact that he never got a cap for Junior Scotland is criminal. looking forward to seeing him and young Connor together, Gavin Mitchell also doing well. hear you have two of ours heading your way in Kurtis Roberts and Dom McLaren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) No formal announcement, but prices are showing as the same as last season for 2018/19 on the official site. £14 entry for League Two level is scandalous and won’t attract many casual fans, not that we actually ever put any effort whatsoever into attracting locals along to games.

It’s only £2 more than 3 years ago. With inflation that’s really only £1 per game more. £18 per season. Hardly scandalous. And we’re still the lowest anywhere for concessions and family deals. I’d gladly offer you £18 but you’ll only go and gift it to Paddy Power or the like. Is it not better in the bank of our Glorious Hoops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d gladly offer you £18 but you’ll only go and gift it to Paddy Power or the like. Is it not better in the bank of our Glorious Hoops? Yes, £14 for the lowest tier of Scottish football is too high. I’ll pay it, you’ll pay it, everyone who goes to most home games will pay it, or more likely get a season ticket. The club could do or charge anything and the same 350/400 will have a moan and still turn up. Is £14 going to get a casual fan out of the boozer to watch Queen’s Park v Edinburgh City? Absolutely not. Even those who want to go to games and have minimal disposable income are going to give it a swerve unless it’s one of the bigger or more important games. You’re absolutely correct about the concessions and that’s to be commended. The season ticket is also a decent deal if anyone can afford £200 in a oner after paying rent, bills, council tax etc. However, that doesn’t justify Queen’s and many other clubs charging silly money for what’s on show for walk up adults. Scottish football clubs are fantastic at chasing punters away. Edited June 19, 2018 by an86 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
