Doesn’t say anything about minimum use but I don’t suppose many clubs ask that question. That made me laugh much more than it probably should have... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razamanaz Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Rumours are that Syngenta are going tits up, don't know if they'll see out the season, so might be some Saturday dates for the Queens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i'm being daft here, but surely you can't use pitch covers for weeks on end to protect the pitch - you'd kill the grass?

And it still gets cut. And the bigger clubs use sun lamps to grow it with artificial light. Never seen those at Hampden right enough. The guys who sold the pitch at Lesser must be running a sweep by now to see how many weeks it'll be dormant after it's ready-to-play date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be another way to get a game on...personally I think it's something to do with clubs keeping their grass pitch in working order. Firhill being the exception of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of size yet but would guess he normally takes a Large. Can anyone advise what sizing is like on the current shirt? I‘d buy one size larger than normal if you’re buying the current kit. Should fit nicely then ( at least mine does) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 You have to wonder whether it's time to call a halt to thoughts of playing at Lesser this season and making other arrangements. At least we'd know where we stood. We're in the best position we've been in on the park since the mid 1950s, and we have this nonsense detracting from it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiders4ever Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 If the ambition is to play in the Scottish Premier then serious thought should be given to where we are going to play. Lesser even if it's ever finished isn't even adequate for the Championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given there are only two scheduled home games after March (one of which is against Dundee) then and can’t see any way we play a game at lesser this season. Imagine trying to play a potential promotion decider (Dundee) or possible premiership playoff game(s) at a glorified bus shelter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given there is a precedent already this season, I'd rather try for Hampden though. I'm scunnered with it all; truly scunnered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't surprised when the email arrived. I think around October/November I accepted this is us for the season. It's next season that concerns me. We will be the laughing stock if our house isn't in order, make no mistake about it. A yawn and a sigh is all the emotion I can muster when QP provide an update these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiders4ever Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I'm not convinced that the club’s rulers want QP to be promoted this season. Could Coyle's leaving the club be engineered by them soon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
