However, financial turmoil would see you plummet down the leagues. Anyway, I’m boring myself never mind you lot. Good luck for the season ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks almost fit for purpose. All it's missing is the scoreboard that notifies us of overs, wides and no balls. Oh and the Pimms sponsorship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonSpider99 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Really liked the look of that right back- found himself in some nice space with good ball control too. Blake or Blane he was being called by Dom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at Falkirk on loan last season and seemed to do okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like something they'd build in the Soviet Union or Romania on the off chance Comrade Stalin or President Ceaușescu turned up at some open bowl in the middle of nowhere.

I like to think I am a really patient & forgiving guy. It only took me a couple of days to get over the Scottish Cup debacle, likewise Simon Murray's sudden departure. I've long since stopped getting annoyed at the nonsense Leanne Dempster comes out with. ....but every time I see that monstrosity and the lost opportunity to build a proper stadium.... I get proper raging! Words fail me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Overall an enjoyable day with the welcome news as well that Charlie Fox is staying. Actually thought the East Stand itself was not as bad as feared in terms of the space and view. For an open training session Lesser Hampden was ideal, for competitive football……. not so much (see above comments re the “royal box”). Beuker and Veldman both spoke very well afterwards and were happy to speak with supporters which was good. Still think the social club layout could be better and definitely need some QP memorabilia on show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there needs to be two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t full by any manner of means but from a supporters perspective it looked fairly smooth. £6.70 for a re-heated Macaroni Pie and draft Pepsi is an absolute crime though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried the pie but the price list is criminal. Gonna miss the wee pie hut at Ochilview 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nearly enough. The mid section (comfy black seats) is normally reserved for press & scouts so those seats won't be sold. That leaves only around 600 seats for home and away fans. I was talking to a few fellow fans and everyone seems to agree that we need to find a way to make a more permanent deal with the SFA for Hampden. The Lesser is an excellent base & training ground with state of the art facilities and an amazing pitch but it is not a stadium and I don't believe it will ever be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that’s why I said it was perfect for an open training session but not for competitive football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know big Hampden had the issues with having the same catering and prices for Queens games as Scotland games and Cup Finals which was bad enough but at your own ground? The Hampden chippy will be happy I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
