I was sitting on the bus havering about Broxburn taking 1500 to Love Street on Saturday. Once the original ground is in your head, it never leaves. Either way, still wrong.

Well, we're not quite just playing for the sake of playing anymore. Perhaps a modest change. Ludens ad partem pecuniae? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 No need for the badge or motto to change. We may not be amateur anymore, but it's still a huge part of our DNA and it should be reflected.

More famously known as the Scotland manager when we thrashed World Cup winners Engerlund in ‘67. RIP Bobby Brown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best keepers I've ever seen for QP. Had to wait for his opportunity to take over from Stevie Ross but once he got his chance he owned the jersey. He was fantastic in his first spell for us, especially season 1987/88 when we finished 3rd behind Ayr Utd and St Johnstone. He came close a couple of times after that to playing in a promotion winning side but we always just fell short in the run-in. With him in goals and Mick Hendry up front, we always had a chance RIP big man 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Anyone know how many more tickets we took from Killie? The initial 150 was absurdly low given that we took 180 down to a dead rubber League Cup group sectional. A lot of the usual suspects missing that day as well. I can't imagine we asked for many more given that they sold out as well. We generally take a few hundred to these games. Stumped as to what the thinking was, particularly as we didn't have confirmation until yesterday about kiosks being open down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Queens Park were just playing for the sake of playing before this then did they not take any prize money for their league finishes or cup runs? How's the players getting paid a fair wage change anything other than your official status? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the players getting paid a fair wage change anything other than your official status? That's my acceptance of where we are. We have in fact being employing professionals for some time in various guises and of course coaches and other support staff have been salaried for many years. There's nothing amateur about our set-up at all. We have a doctor and a physio at every game. Gym and medical suite for the players. Those on long-term injury are wll looked after. Excellent media team for the position we have. Visiting clubs and boards are well catered for. It's all been like that for a while. But as you say, our official status has changed. We're paying to win now. And to get financial recovery on our player investments. If some want to hold onto the motto that's their choice but we're a business now, not a sports fraternity. What would be more important to me is hanging onto "Hampden Park". It's got an obvious emotional attachment but also is a name known worldwide in football. I'd trade the motto for that any day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
