Why's the Adidas badge bigger than the QP one?

Hhmmm.....
Not bonkers enough but could have been worse.

Do they f**k, the Kelpies are most definitely in Grangemouth.
Aye, that's what I was meaning. I said that the Bairns home ground was in Grangemouth and Grangemouth has the Kelpies.

Charging under 12's £6 is a bit high, I think. They should get in free (especially if accompanied by an adult). I used to get in free up to about age 12 or so (mister can ye gie's a liftie ower?). That started my love of QP and I've been going regularly ever since. The lift over is no longer possible with the new style of turnstiles so we need to find other ways to spark and maintain that interest. As others have said, the free tickets for schools already exists - let's say a group of kids love it and want to go back but £6 a week is a little too much out of their pocket money.

Falkirk Stadium, 4 Stadium Way, Falkirk FK2 9EE you say?
So not Grangemouth then?
Not what I say - it's what Google says.
If you're asking me, I'd say you were in Grangemouth not Falkirk but there we are.
You do have the Kelpies mind you.

Sorry, they are in a similar boat to Partick with the advantage of being in Scotland’s biggest city.
Aye, but we have the ugly sisters to contend with. Bring back Third Lanark, and maybe even Clyde, instead.

Would quite like to see a QP org chart right now…
Organisation and stuff that happens off the park seem to be mutually exclusive.

Poor show from QP. Organiser has put months of work into this only for it to be cancelled at the last moment.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/215603853743554/permalink/768132515157349/
Yeah, not ideal. However, not knowing the details of the clubs arrangements with the SFA makes it difficult to comment further. Was there no cancellation clause in the contract with the organiser of the fair?

I notice that ICTFC have a Gordon Fyffe listed as a director on Companies House, and that he is a PR Consultant. This is not uncommon for companies, but it begs the question what kind of PR advice did he give when they decided to move to Kelty? "Aye, the fans will love that, just go for it without consultation!"
He used to be the top communications/PR guy at the Cooncil.

It'll be Hibs away, Kelty at home, Peterhead away and Elgin at home.
9/10 points absolutely achievable. Very happy with that!
Shame for the Hibs Directors missing out on our hospitality!

We've got to be topping that group.
It's time we progressed in this cup.
Could hinge on the home/away split. A fun day out to Embra would be good!

A wee trip to Wales or Ireland was always great fun for supporters - somewhere different and a welcome change. The nonsense with the selection of LL teams is a slap in the face to those clubs that are trying hard to improve themselves, depriving them of an opportunity to test themselves against 'bigger' clubs. The B teams inclusion is an insult to the other clubs that missed out because of the SPFL chicanery.
Really disappointed in this announcement although the increase in prize money is welcome.

Clach would be mad to prioritise keeping Gardiner happy. Either he’ll be gone soon or the whole club will.
If I lived in Inverness I would be thinking about going to Clach home games next season. Being in Glasgow, I have no idea what I’m going to do.
Tell you what, Juanjo - you go to Queen's Park and I'll go to Clach.

Continuing with the "big hoops" for next season. I still don't like the strip but can't argue with the keeping costs down argument.
I hope the new away strip is a cracker!

I have a real headache trying to understand the City Stadium situation, but perhaps I am missing something? A hospitality structure is built to bring in finance, but the result is the capacity is under a thousand. So, games cannot be played there! So, due to the hospitality structure means games cannot be played at City Stadium, and there is therefore no money coming from hospitality at the City Stadium?
I totally agree - and the hospitality enclave ensures the west (Cathcart Rd) side of the ground is difficult to develop further. The west side is the prime side for supporters because of prevailing wind, sun, proximity to the JB MacAlpine Pavilion etc, etc. What were they thinking of?
