We’ve got to remember that this might be the case for some players. I’m sure recruitment will be good this summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always aware of the full time model being put in place, however just assumed that it would incorporate a hybrid system to suit part time players. I imagine then some top players will be joining for whenever the season starts up again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't take long at all. f**k everyone else eh? Those days are long gone. Money is everything and the clubs values have been discarded without a thought. Echoes of Gretna. I have not been back since the vote and will not be. Most overjoyed with these developments but not for me. The days of winning games based on good coaching and giving players an opportunity are distant memories. No more the underdog, no more upsetting the apple cart, just like every other club with money or willing to spend money which is not there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more the underdog, no more upsetting the apple cart, just like every other club with money or willing to spend money which is not there. I don't think it's a given that the ethos of the club is discarded. The cold facts are that, had we remained amateur, the risk of dropping out the league multiply each year. If that is what you are prepared to accept, then fair enough, but all the good coaching, youth system, opportunities to play etc get less and less prestigious and relevant. We're lucky to have the means to try to compete at a higher level and still maintain the values we are known for, and any club would want that. I don't think anyone at the club or support I'm aware of are at all arrogant over this, but we're certainly not better than anyone else just because we're Queen's Park. I hope you do come back btw. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sal This is standard practice for pro players with one season contracts.

Absolutely. I've no regrets about turning pro, whatever happens. I'd just prefer any move up the leagues to be on merit. If League Two can start this season, whether it's in August/September, or whether it's in January, that's where we should play. Being misty eyed about tradition, whilst being pumped by Darvel had no appeal and the club would have died a slow death. We've a past to be proud of and nothing will ever change that. However, as a club who have been recently screwed by a bigger and wealthier organisation, I hope we'd think very, very carefully about our own actions and how they'd be perceived by others who find themselves in a position that we could very easily have been in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow1999 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 No other team for me. I understand why the vast majority supported the changes. I am just a dinosaur. Just would have preferred staying ameuter, whatever the consequences. I realise most supporters realistically feared what would happen without the change. The consequences probably would have been huge given the changes in football and the club do now appear to be in a far better position than many others. The change was overwhelmingly supported and very openly done. So I hope it continues to prosper, I will just continue with my memories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wish I was 21 again and a magnificent young buck ( no sniggering at the back), but I won't be relying on memories of then to keep me going. I'll embrace the "now" and make new memories. And so it is with Queen's, or any team. Things change, the team you support doesn't, and you continue to support them and hopefully continue to enjoy good times. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
