HoustonSpider99 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Every month looks scary. All the more reason why QPFC’s lack of strengthening is more concerning- regardless of Davidson’s prior record at St Johnstone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arachnophile Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 What planet do these guys live on? John McNeil, Head of Women’s Football, stated, “We’re really excited to be kicking off the SPWPL campaign in the coming weeks. Preparations are well underway to support the players and staff for the historic season ahead and we’re thrilled to be playing our matches at Stenhousemuir’s Ochilview Park. It was clear that once we looked at the grounds criteria for SPWPL 1 that we may have to look slightly further afield than Glasgow and when the opportunity presented itself to host our games at an SPFL registered ground, especially one which holds many good memories for the club’s Men’s side, it was something we acted quickly upon and looked to secure. I’d like to place on record our thanks and appreciation to Stenhousemuir and the SWPL for their support on this.” Chris Priestley, CEO of Queen’s Park FC Foundation, added, “We are thrilled to see our Women’s Team take this important step forward. Playing at Ochilview Park not only meets the requirements of SPWPL but also provides a fantastic environment for our players to compete at the highest level.” The upcoming season promises to be an exciting and groundbreaking one for Queen’s Park FC Women. We look forward to welcoming our supporters to Ochilview Park and making this season another memorable chapter in the club’s rich history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 When we talk about football opportunities, the disparity is fairly clear. Boys are offered a pathway to professional football through Queen’s Park Football Club and girls are offered a pathway to amateur football run by the foundation. The world is moving on and the women’s game is an area of growth within the sport, yet we treat them as an afterthought. Another summer, another triumph for the football club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest frustration with this is them not taking the opportunity to explain why Lesser can't be used; that would be much better than pretending it doesn't exist. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 When do Celtic’s youth Champions League fixtures get announced? Feel for the Foundation guys being forced to put their names against those statements. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possible explanations are either that we have given exclusive use of Lesser to the Scottish National teams as the price for being allowed to use Hampden ( & let's face it, our negotiating position there was not the strongest) or someone else is going to be playing there - I guess that might be QP B team but more likely Celtic youth. It would be nice if someone told us. It would also be nice if someone would give me a Ferrari for my birthday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing top flight Women's football to the South Side of Glasgow. And if you really really want it really really want to see it. Bus into town, get train from Queen Street station to Larbert and then another bus along the Main St. All on a Sunday when the railway do work on the track. Respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
