Gretna failed to finish a modern and shiny eco stadium, whereas Queens have failed to finish a one stand bus stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told by two separate people who know what they're talking about that the sort of grass used at Hampden needs to be played on regularly to get it to "bind" or what the phrase is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So..... They need to find a team who is prepared to play there regularly, possibly whilst their own ground isnt ready ..... let me think........ emm, nope no-one comes to mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qpfc Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Seen on Twitter that we’ve enquired about Connor shields from Motherwell. Dundee and Doncaster also in for him. Apparently looking to sign for a team that’ll play him up top instead of out wide like he has been at Motherwell Watched a few Motherwell games over the last couple seasons when my pals had a spare ticket and he’s a very powerful runner but seems to lack a bit technically. Probably a similar narrative people would give to Simon Murray a few years back Edited January 19, 2023 by qpfc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Dempster’s bio…. “Dempster worked in advertising before becoming sales and marketing director for Zoom Airlines for two years.” Zoom lasted for 2 years. ‘Nuff said.

Turns out the clever folk that know how to plug all those wires in had the foresight a couple of years back to offer a “future proof” solution for both media reporting and real-time in-play information. And two years on, we don’t even have a platform to stand a tripod on. Nor is one planned. Unfortunately, being future-proof did not make it idiot-proof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the manufacturers webpage the hybrid pitch is good for about 100 games per season/year. Doesn’t say anything about minimum use but I don’t suppose many clubs ask that question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I know this is and probably always was a complete non starter but was there any thought given to Queens moving to Cathkin? It’s a much bigger footprint and stands could have been build while still retaining parts of the old terracing, with scope to enlarge if needed. Historic club resurrects historic stadium. I understand Lesser has history with the club but it’s not really an ideal solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Cathkin we would have to buy a substantial piece of land from the Council. Then chop down a lot of trees - we had enough grief for taking down an old farmyard barn at Lesser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we could take the local community with us on that one. As you say, building a stadium on a public green space would not go down well. That being the case, it’s probably exactly what we’ll try and do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williebraveheart Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 February and March home games announced to be played at Stenhousemuir. February confirmed as Friday night games and March to be played on the weekend of ???????. Bet they are a Friday as well. Utter shambles. Three full seasons away from our own stadium and what have we got to show for it? Possibly the worst stadium in the SPFL which is unfit for the purpose for our ambitions. Please, Dempster and Hunter - just go now. I'll put the lights out - if we have got any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
