    Thanks for your post, great read, hope you guys can get back up to see QP. I made a trip down to see Accrington a couple of seasons ago whilst spending a few days with relatives near Kendal. The rail journey from Oxenholme and back made during a partial rail strike with limited services. Meant the trip was an adventure to say the least but I was determined to get there and I'm glad I did to see the hosts beat Bradford City. Good luck against Lincoln on Saturday, enjoy the rest of the season.

     

    Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it. Will definitely be back to see you playing at Lesser Hampden & to enjoy a few more Queens Park lagers! 

    Accrington, lost count how many times I've seen us lose there. Coldest ground I've been too. All the best.

    QP v Annan (Fiver Fitba & Friskfest)

    in Scottish League 2 General Chatter

    Posted

    Evening all, was up at the game on Saturday with a few mates. We're Burton Albion fans but do a Scottish game a season. Thought we'd come up to watch Queens Park playing at Hampden before the move to Lesser Hampden. 

    No expert on Scottish League 2 but impressed with the football Queens Park played, good patient and at times intelligent passing football in difficult conditions. 

    Have wrote a piece on the day, hope I've got all historical stats & facts right but no doubt you'll correct me if any errors! All the best for the rest of season & the move to Lesser Hampden.

    Nice wee piece.  I used to live in Dumbarton and would go along to games when St.Mirren were playing away. Great place for football. The views from the stand must be one of the best views in Scottish football At the old Boghead ground fans used to swap ends at half time which was unusual and great.  When you talk about the Albion I assume that you mean West Bromwich Albion.   Don't know if you were aware of this match...   

     

    Finally, the friendly arranged with West Bromwich Albion was in celebration of the 'world championship' match between WBA and Renton in 1888. with Dumbarton winning the Renton Centenary Trophy after the 2-1 victory. (wikipedia Dumbarton F.C. 1988-1989 season).

    Thanks for the reply Mitch, glad you liked my piece.

    I'm a Burton Albion fan, but yes have heard about that game between Renton and WBA. My grandad played bowls at Renton for a while, it's hard to imagine a small place like that once had a top football team! 

    We used to swap ends in the non-league days, part of football I miss now we're in the football league. 

    My dad went to a few St Mirren games when he was in the navy, early 80's, I'll have to get some memories of him.

    Morning Accies fans, have written this piece on Hamilton which touches on my visit a few years back and your draw at Hearts on Saturday. Hope you enjoy. All the best for the season.

    Thanks for looking into us mate, and thanks for continuing to do so. Theres a story with the accies but god knows what it is. We all just live it day to day. Not sure why you bothered with us a few years ago or what you're up to now but I hope you enjoy your football.

    Thanks for the reply mate. I'm a Burton Albion supporter, been watching us since our non-league days. However since 2013 I've done a Scottish Awayday a season (half-scottish so always had an interest in football north of the border). The night I had out at Hamilton was made special thanks to the Accies fans I met in the Vaults pre-match, a great bunch. So yeah, ever since I've kept an eye on your fortunes.

    Pleased he has settled in well at Burton.

    A player who gives 100%, but when selected, would have to spend most of his time in a midfield watching balls being shelled over their heads was never going to work for Ryan in a Hearts side under Levein.

    Good luck to him and Burton for the season.

    Thanks LincolnHearts. Watching Hearts highlights I've quickly realised why he was allowed to leave, its not a style of play you'd incorporate him in. 

    Great avatar by the way!

    Morning Hearts fans. I wrote this piece on Hamilton and Aberdeen, but threw in a few lines on Hearts too which I doubt you'd disagree with? Hopefully things will pick up for you and the football becomes a bit more palatable at the very least.

    As an aside, I'm a Burton Albion supporter and have been very impressed with Ryan Edwards so far. Brilliant energy levels, he doesn't seem to stop running, which comes in handy in League 1. Has got himself a couple of goals too, pleased we managed to secure his services from yourselves.

    Hiya Hibees. Burton Albion fan here but always had an interest in the Hibees after going to a game a few years back (you drew 1-1 with Raith..) anyway, have done a piece on the weekends Scottish action which includes a bit on how Hibs are looking at present (in my not so expert opinion). Hope you enjoy, & interested to know your thoughts on Hecky, & what you think this squad can achieve?

    Morning Livi Lions. Burton Albion fan here, but as a half-Scotsman I have more than a passing interest in Scottish football. 

    I've done a piece on the weekends action, have really enjoyed seeing what Livi are all about in the last couple seasons (was actually at the QOTS 3-3 game in March '18), and thought Saturdays performance epitomised what the Livi Lions are all about. Hope you enjoy it.
