Do you know if the Terracing turnstiles at the Arena side will be open this season or are "Red Zones" still in place. Referees and Away teams changing arrangements should surely be back to pre-covid situation of them all using the main stand dressing rooms. Pretty sure the red zones are gone and all the changing arrangements are back to normal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 ^^^^ The Financial Expert seemingly with knowledge of every teams budgets and player's wages speaks again. Agree with the financial part but is he wrong about the trialist? Debatable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time doing online sales! https://qosfc.ticketco.events/uk/en/e/queen_of_the_south_fc_vs_annan_athletic Pleased to see that the clubs have agreed a sensible approach to pricing. I get that it is holiday time for a lot of people but hopefully there will be a reasonable crowd on the back of that and encouraging displays in the friendlies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_palmy_pie Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Had a walk round Palmerston today and disappointed to see it still in a bit of a mess. Nicely new lined car park at the Queens Arena but weeds everywhere and turnstiles doors still unpainted. No idea why the club hasn’t approached the supporters for help this season. You’d think free labour would be right up Hewitson’s street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping there would be a lick of paint elsewhere but Rome wasn't built in a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping there would be a lick of paint elsewhere but Rome wasn't built in a day. Billy's company must have had the Rome contract too. Agree that Palmerston needs a spruce up but a lick of paint on the turnstile doors and suchlike is like putting lipstick on a pig, it'll still look rough. The wood on some of the doors is that rotten it's probably only the paint that's holding them together, the same as the moss on the Main Stand Roof. I can appreciate there might be a bit of a dilemma for the Board, is it worth spending money on the stadium when you've dropped a division and crowds are dwindling or do the minimum until we hopefully move upward again. I would say painting the lines in the car park was lower down on priorities than some other remedial work, but of course it should be remembered that workers and customers from other Arena businesses use the car park too, so that may have been a factor in it being done. I've not seen the new lining yet but it could be that these businesses want designated parking spaces. As it stands Queens can't charge people for parking on the Arena car park on match days because they may actually not be going to the match but to one of the other businesses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I renewed this morning. Looking forward to the QR machines failing and the entry process involving some young lad looking at my phone, shrugging his shoulders then letting me in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a feel-good air about Queens at the moment, and long may it last; doing something about the public-facing physical structure of the club ought to match that feeling, and fast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
