Byekick Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 6 minutes ago, Spidersmad said: The absence of a well stocked supporters shop in the stadium on match days has struck me as being a bit weird. It's such an obvious revenue source that I can't understand why the club hasn't made better arrangements for this. There's a pop up media centre in Letherby Drive but no proper shop either inside or outside the stadium. That new SLO is going to be busy... More seriously, as a new-to-QP supporter, I couldn't believe how few opps there were to give the club money. If the club _is_ all about growing a fanbase, it should be hard for anyone to go there — particularly with kids — and _not_ leave with a bit of merchandise that helps plant the seed, that parents aren't worried about their kids wearing in the street here, and makes them feel part of something. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! First we need a way to let them in the stadium, then we can think about smothering them with merchandise It looks an awful lot like the club have given up on any idea of growing the fanbase, unless they can muster up 1000 seats overnight 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record the lad Dane on loan from Celtic is a very good player, if it wasn't for injuries he would be playing at a lot higher level than championship. You never know playing at Lesser will probably help your season no end, I always think it's 2 big a pitch for mere mortals I e. Rangers last night. If we continue to play 3 at the back then we'll need them all. Fox out long-term, Tizzard I believe was a hamstring so likely 6 weeks, Reid I'm not so sure about. Thomson isn't really a CB although it now seems a default position. Which leaves us Udjur, who's lacking fitness, new signing Fieldson (Sunderland youth) who we really know nothing about and if we squint we have Cammy Kerr and Zak Mauchin, both of whom are RB's, (although Mauchin seemed to do well at CB last weekend) and now Dane Murray on loan who had rave reviews after the Livvy game.

Kerr has also been excellent at CB imo From what I saw of him against Hibs, he suits that wide centre back in a 3 role way better than a full back/wing back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hooped cloth was an issue then and this had to be made specially for us. The club have said that they'd be setting up a retail outlet at the stadium. Selling goods at the ground is well overdue.

Hopefully the establishment of the SLOs, and the proposed liaison group, will improve communication but this needs a change of mindset. No one should think that the SLOs can magic up an improvement in communication without this. Edited August 14 by Hampden Diehard 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard REID had a knee injury. I heard TIZZARD is only a couple of weeks. Don’t think UDJUR is serious. Agree if CD playing 3 at the back, we need them fit. With FOX out for the season, this is a cursed position!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
