an86 Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Having one of those rare hopeful days and thinking we might have some form of crowd back sooner than I maybe thought. Phase three talks of "some live events with social distancing." It looks likely that phase two may soon be upon us. The fact that we have an awful lot of seats and our fanbase is very much quality over quantity gives me some hope. The consensus seems to be that the virus doesn't like outside. I wonder if we could find ourselves in the bizarre setup of sitting in the East Stand in such a scenario. You're outdoor or partially outdoor all the way from turnstile to seat and you have a massive block of seats uninterrupted by barriers. Passing people going to/from seats and toilets would be the main hazards. If the shop stocks up on black and white hooped PPE, we could be good to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my crazy ideas would be to hold the Scottish League 2 season at Hampden until things go back to normal. Could have games back to back, the pitch would probably get cut up badly but it would be interesting and QP could take a percentage of the gate recovers from non QP games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think social distancing at a smaller percentage capacity could work at most grounds. The tricky elements are health and safety, such as shared facilities. It's also impossible that folk wouldn't need to pass each other going to/from seats. Masks would possibly be mandatory as well. The East Stand holds 12800 people across 53 rows. The amount of spacing you could do there, with absolutely no enclosed areas when entering and exiting the stadium would be huge. You could have much more than two metres if you really wanted to. The view wouldn't be great, but nobody would be complaining at this point. Season ticket/members only and no away supports to begin with. Even upon return, it's difficult to see supporters buses and fans travelling across the country returning immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Reilly Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The clubs young player of the year shown the exit door. Sad to see Moore go, always gave 110% every time he played. However, I dont think it's unfair to say he was unlikely to feature reagularly in this new era.Really hope he gets a club where he gets the chance to play regularly and score a lot of goals (but not against us obviously [emoji1]) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonSpider99 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Unfortunately with these guys, Mckinnon has obviously decided they either wouldn't cut it at full-time level: or the guys themself weren't prepared to go full time. Dissapointed to see Moore & Jamison go particularly, but that'd suggest Ray possibly has folk in line anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure teams around us will be fishing for the players released. I’d have liked to see him and Jamieson stay and develop more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were released along with everyone else. No reason given. Just the club was going full time and they were not being offered a contract full stop. Was never going to give any of our young players a chance by the looks of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unlikely) Or are you just making it up to suit your agenda? (Likely) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 What's the logic of the people moaning here? The Queen's Park of last season is not the Queen's Park of this coming season. If you're not going to start these guys regularly, then is it fair to string them along? The likes of McGrory and Moore will be 21 in the early part of next season. They're not kids anymore. They can play at this level for sure, but they are at the stage where they need 30 odd games per season to kick on. That's not happening in the direction we're moving in. Jamieson is another one who'll get a club no bother. Again, not a teenager. He'll be 24 this season. Queen's Park must have the oldest youngsters in the world. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 We might not be playing until the turn of the year. We were never going to offer 20+ guys a contract at the moment. Who knows; we might see some more of last year's team back when we know what's happening. Plenty of them are more than capable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slater Grant and Bell were already under contract. Galt and Muir were just too good to go to a rival. The released players whilst decent, I don’t think we’ll lose sleep if they end up playing for Elgin or Albion Rovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
