Anonymous Spider Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 They're fine. I showed them to a few non-QP mates (who bough the last away top) and they were pretty distraught at Irn-Bru no longer being the sponsors... they took it worse than me Like the detail on the side of the away top. Looking forward to seeing what the people who run this club think capturing the spirit of Glasgow is... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an artistic impression of the bus emptying after Elgin away in the style of a renaissance painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some fans who have held a ST in previous years, that just cannot make all home games (as possibly at Stennie all season). And their decision to not renew, owing to those reasons, is probably hard enough for them, then throw in exclusion from bus too. Having said that, I do appreciate the challenges that come with organising the buses, based on numbers that may be unknown, until close to the actual match days. It’s far from ideal and sadly the fans feel the effects hardest - again. Totally agree & have popped a wee email off to the club to that effect. As a season ticket holder who will not be taking advantage of the free buses to Ochilview, (from where I live it is easier to get to Ochilview direct) I wish to express my disappointment that the free bus offer appears only to apply to members & season ticket holders. Some supporters may not be able to afford the one-off outlay of a season ticket or may be unable to commit to attending all “home” matches. Fans who buy “one-off” match tickets are no less inconvenienced by the club’s failure to have a stadium ready to play in, than the rest of us. Much was made after the excitement of the play-offs of how much the support of the fans was appreciated. At this exciting time for the Spiders, surely we should be doing everything within our powers to encourage fans along? It baffles me why the club wants to create two classes of fans. I do hope the club will reconsider their decision Edited July 8, 2022 by Arachnophile 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williebraveheart Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I think the new kit is hellish. How they have managed to spoil the hoops by adding black trim is pretty skilful. The away top just beggars belief. All this together with a sponsor of whom I have never heard with the blandest and most uninteresting message and kicking out an internationally known brand just adds to the off field blundering we have been witnessing lately. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly For all Irn Bru have “brand recognition” they didn’t actually pay us that much. So I don’t agree that this should be filed in the (already bursting) blunder folder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irn Bru weren’t kicked out, Scotts just came in with a better offer. Should the club make less money cause you know the brand name? Stick to things that are valid for criticism like the bus and lesser Hampden fiasco. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a relatively well known outlet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct in saying that their only Glasgow outlet is in Easterhouse? In fairness, if they are paying more than Irn Bru, so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidersmad Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 A rather abrupt no reply email reminder from the club has arrived: Hello xxxxxxxx, Your membership with Queens Park Football Club will expire on: 2022-07-09 After 2022-07-09 your seat / membership will be cancelled and available to the public. You can renew your membership using this link: Well that's it for me. Thus ends 19 years of season ticket buying, even during the Commonwealth Games exile in Airdrie where I didn't attend a single game but still kept the ticket going. As for this season there's away games at Firhill, New Douglas Park and Cappielow plus maybe, just maybe, an occasional game at Ochilview to look forward to. Perhaps Lesser Hampden will be ready next spring? Who knows. I'm beginning to not really care anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
