According to the Mail we're no longer interested in the Conference League.

Well, that's a relief. I wonder why it was even contemplated - unless it was to use Lesser for the reserves/young QP and a new 'bigger and better' stadium elsewhere?

When's the AGM going to be this year? I know it's delayed because of the change to season rather than calendar year I think. There's a lack of info from the club and that might be the time to get more detail on what is going on.

I really don't see what is so controversial here. As one advantage, teams have an advantage playing at their home ground. Studies show that teams tend to get more referee decisions in their favour at home, and home advantage is a thing.
And yet, despite that, some teams still perform better away than at home. That doesn't mean that there isn't a theoretical sporting advantage to being the home team.
I just can't believe that people find this to be a controversial point. In the last couple of pages, people have denied that preparation matters, dismissed the difference between full time and part time players, and denied that a familiar playing surface helps. All to deny a very uncontroversial point that regularly playing home games on a Friday presents a theoretical sporting advantage.
Stop digging, mate.

Would you update your cover photo to a stadium where you are not playing next season? Logic & common sense (I know) would suggest that we intend to be playing at Lesser...
We've been intending to play at lesser since last autumn. I'm sure there were earlier dates than that too.

Here's the 'Bigger and Better' news from the QP website.
Got to say, I was taken in by the promises.

Got my ticket yesterday - in the terracing at the east end of the park. I hope the pie stall can cope.

The Spiders are not going to get much at Dens if Dundee need something in the last game .
There is no chance of Queen’s getting anything at Dens in the last game.

The whiff of desperation in the posts of the Dundee fans, while they sit a point ahead on the table, is quite amusing.
Strangely, they accuse everyone else (currently it's QP) of losing their bottle.

Trains booked for what stands to be a nerve shredding afternoon. Where are Dees going pre game up there?
Loads of good pubs in Inverness but, sadly, none near the stadium. There is a bar under the main stand but it's pretty poor although offers a beer before the game. Better to stay in the town - the Imperial opposite the station is a good start point and has loads of TVs for any early game. Thirty minute walk to the ground though. The Innes is probably the closest to the ground (20 min walk).
Have fun, but let Highland Thistle win. Please.

It's a tuff one for us but in this bonkers league, anything can happen.

When it comes to Dundee I’m sue I speak for everyone when I say I hope they get administration and that third time’s the charm on the road to liquidation.
Much as I dislike some of the Dundee fans on here, I would not wish administration on any club in Scotland - ugly sisters excepted, of course.

Are you guys wanting to keys or not? Should we pass them straight on to Partick?

Not disagreeing with the reasons why QP sold Hampden. But Queens chose to develop Lesser in the way they have, did they not?
Well, that's still a mystery - even to the supporters and members.

But haven’t Queen’s Park chosen that to be the case?
QP sold Hampden (understandably) so the fact it was their ground for a century makes little difference to your argument.
Not quite. The SFA said 'sell us Hampden or we're going to take our games elsewhere'. Queen's really had no choice.

Anyone know what Eze is for?

Cracking goal

Poor defending from Eze - he's been outplayed for most of the game

That last little paragraph probably should have been paid more attention to.
Here's something else on the SFA not really caring about the fans -

So, I'm waiting outside for the keys, and all I hear from inside is bottles smashing.
You're getting none of our fine whisky collection. The bottles you hear smashing are all the empties.
If necessary, we'll leave you a low flier or a Tesco own brand.

They had an information night showing and explaining it to the fans , great thing is the cost is being absorbed by the chairman and will not be effecting any club budgets , think you will see lots of information coming out in press etc when the bulldozers move in early May ,
Club giving information nights and lots more info coming? Who’d have thunk?
As for the chairman absorbing the costs - are you trying to steal our mantle as the ‘New Gretna’?
Sounds a great development. Well done.

Although a disappointing result, I think it was coming. We’ve not been at our best recently but managed to grind out results when necessary. We’re still in it and let’s hope this is a wake up call and we can get our act together. This has been a bonkers league this year with a great number of unexpected results. I would have bitten your arm off at the start of the season to be in this position.
As they say, onwards and upwards.

How has Oakley been doing for QP? He was performing really well for us once he'd settled. Would much rather have him playing for us than against us.
Settled in well, fits in with the football the team plays. He's been an asset for us. Great player.

A vision of the 'New Hampden' back in the 70's. Promises of cash support from the government not kept.

Didn't hear a thing from the club but that's not unusual. I find out more about the club on here than I do from them.
