I think the way it usually works is we’d get a percentage of any potential sell on fee Livingston have agreed. If Livingston have a 10% sell on, and got £300k (may be less if sale on is just based on profit), and we had a 10% sell on we’d get £30k. Hypothetical figures clearly. 
 

 

Yeah thought as much, I thought Livi had 20% on the sale, so we would have same. So say he goes for £4m (been quoted) that’s £160,000 for us. Obviously Livi need to have that 20% in the first place. Tidy sum though if we can get it.

Are we owed any money if Dykes moves on again? Millwall have had a £3m bid rejected, and Stoke are after him according to a few of the papers

You don't think his ex boss the Beale fella would fancy him leading the loyal line in Govan?

Dalbeattie Star's game has been switched from Islecroft to Palmerston so I'd guess that's a no-no.  Unfortunately.

Been with us since December but now official. I'm not that observant. Cowie surely loaned out again if not released? 

 

So that's Currie, Cowie, Fox, Ritchie, Henderson, Dabrowski and now Botterill all been involved with the first team and Pietsch with the reserves.

Just three more keepers to go and we could theoretically put together a full goalkeeping eleven chosen from this season's selection of players.

Of course that's a ridiculous scenario which would never happen, as it would mean dropping McKenna or Reilly.

Hope he stays away from the ugly sisters, just my preference though.

I thought the sell on was usually a % of the profit? So Livi sold him for £2m, they’d get their X% of the amount QPR sell him for above £2m. With the figures quoted, it won’t be a huge figure we end up with, I’d think. 

80k if that’s the case then, presuming he goes for the £4m which has been quoted

The pitch has very little to do with their ability, or lack of, to control a ball or find a teammate with a pass. I'm not saying it's a great surface, it's rubbish, but the bugbear for me is that opposition teams in the main seem to manage to do the basics on it better than Queens players do, which appears to suggest there's more than the pitch to blame, and its been the same for years now.

I think fitness is the main reason why we have been terrible this season, that and majority of the team having the heart of a pea. Always seem to concede in the 60th-80th minute and often when we concede once we do again soon after.

^^^ This!

We can't blame our home pitch no matter how crap it is. Other sides do well enough on it.

Indeed.

The perceived wisdom regarding early dodgy artificial pitches at places like Luton and Oldham, was that they gave the home side a big advantage.  Not so with us it seems.

Are we getting a new artificial pitch in the summer have heard the rumour but no official word yet.

Our pitch has been down for around 10 years you can see especially if the pen box that it is done badly needs changed .Best artifical I have seen is at Raith but I suppose it is the same as anything you get what you pay for.

As with everything it all comes down to what our budget is.

It’s time all artificial pitches were banned from Scottish football. We survived fine before without them so why not now ?

I would rather we went back to a good  grass pitch but that's  not going to happen .

Not a fan of artifical pitches but understand it makes sense  to hire out Palmy to try and make extra income.

We survived before without it  and we’re also lucky we make money off the Arena. It’s time to ditch the pitch.

We need to find a fortune to get grass back apparently. 

Artificial pitches aren't the issue; shite artificial pitches are the problem.

And I'm sure we all hate the new offside rule as well. It doesn't matter though.
