No job for Malky then.

What about an ex- player? Alan Irvine?

It's not rocket science to say that we need to increase our fanbase if our meteoric rise up the leagues is to be sustainable in the long term. A season (hopefully) challenging for promotion from league 1 would be a good place to start attracting new fans. It's hard to see how we do that if we are playing our home games in Falkirk or Cumbernauld or Airdrie. Whatever the problems are with the redevelopment of Lesser Hampden, they need to get sorted out sooner rather than later.

Amazing tributes from Hibs fans below the tweet. I do hope she comes to Hampden. She has a proven track record in winning the Scottish Cup again after a long long wait.

As Covid mutates and starts fighting back against humanity, does anyone know what happens if (heaven forbid) fitba' gets cancelled again. You would assume the SPFL would have an agreed procedure to avoid the shenanigans of last season. Wouldn't you?

Gamble?

Queen's rule in the Kingdom, surely.

...also appointing Dempster pretty much ensures Neil Lennon will never be our manager!!

We're banking on the Champions League money in a few seasons.

sorted it for me too

Anyone know how many watched the stream on Saturday?

It's coming home.

I'm sure you are technically correct. I, for one, will be perfectly happy to pay extra to watch the club on its triumphant Scottish Cup run.

I think everyone was disappointed, but it's the first league game of the season. I think the manager and the players deserve a few weeks at least before we assemble the lynch mob.

What league do they play in?

It would be really nice to score a goal... ... .. ...or 2

Fine for me. Quality banter fae Andy Ritchie too.

so, when are we getting the Historic Away Kit face mask?

Why does not owning the stadium stop us using automated cameras? Would the SFA deny us permission? Presumably they could be removed at the end of the season? (The cameras, not the SFA)

I was interested to discover whilst whiling away some time on-line that our squad is worth just under £2million. Unsurprisingly Simon Murray is our most valuable player at £315k. Here's what the rest of them are worth (allegedly) I suspect Galt & Muir may be a little upset at apparently being of no value!! https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/queens-park-fc/kader/verein/3031/saison_id/2020

LIONel Messi?

A lot of sense here. I think instead of whining about the potential demise of football as we know it and joining the ever lengthening queue of folk begging for public money, the "powers that be" would be better trying to work out how to make the best of the situation we find ourselves in and finding ways to replace the gate money that looks unlikely to return any time soon. The most obvious source of income is through some sort of paid streaming service and would it not be an idea for SPFL clubs to co-operate to get some sort of joint service up and running? It occurs to me that there may be fans who can't go to matches every week who would happily pay to watch on-line. I usually only go to a few games a year as I stay on the wrong side of the country but would happily pay to watch every game from the comfort of my sofa whilst consuming a cold beer and a much better value pie. So the club could actually get more income from me than in a "normal" season. All clubs must have fans who are geographically unable to attend matches who might be a valuable source of income. It might even be an opportunity to attract some new fans who've never quite got round to attending a match but might be tempted by the ease of access of online streaming. Of course there would be set up & running costs and I have no idea what these would be and the whole idea might be a non-starter for all sorts of legal or technical reasons - but surely its worth consideration and an approach to government with a plea to help with funding of sucha service might well stand more chance of success than just holding out a begging bowl.

I'm sure you will be.

I think it would require a fair degree of optimism to imagine that we are going to see fans at fitba in the near future. I see a number of clubs have plans in place to stream matches if fans are not allowed in. Does anyone know if we have any such plans?
