palmy_cammy Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Is there as much clamour to sign ex-players amongst fans of other teams or is it a trait unique to our lot? It sometimes feels like a large section of our support think we are only allowed to sign former players! FWIW MacDonald would probably be a good signing, but it's pie in the sky at the moment. I can't help but feel we are a long way off signing any players due to the fact we simply don't need to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the manager would have to be taken off furlough in order to consider making any signings. If he was taken off furlough, he’d need to be on it again for three weeks before being able to consider making any other signings. So, it is probably only practical for us to make signings when the manager is off furlough permanently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTulip Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The Queens Trust has had some super donations of programmes kindly given to us over the last couple of years. We sold a good number last year online and also at the programme fair at the Queens Arena. However we still have lots! If there are any Queens fans looking for specific programmes or a bargain bundle to get them started please let us know. We have a fantastic selection from the 1970s onwards of both home and away programmes. Also if there is anyone that may be having a clear out during this time and may have any programmes to donate please do get in touch. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTulip Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The Trust has also recently been kindly offered some old Queens football shirts which is fantastic! Our retro shirt auction last year was a great success raising valuable funds. So if you have any old shirts, programmes, books, cds, dvds that may be getting cleared out please contact us and they can all help to raise funds towards the Trust and the work that we do. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was genuinely delighted when Chisholm left. I wouldn't go as far as that for McIntyre leaving, but I was certainly pleased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 'international development coach' at Sunderland now apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidenGoodinQOS Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Here's a video I have made about Stephen Dobbie's incredible season last year. Thought people might like to watch it since there is no football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
