Monkey Tennis Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) A terrible draw. Being drawn away is worse than it usually would be, because of the reprehensible decision to move our Boxing Day fixture, meaning that after our home game a week on Friday, we won't now play at Palmerston until late January. It's also crap that it's someone in our division. We've got a decent chance of progressing, but it certainly wouldn't be a shock to anyone if we didn't.

SUPERSOUTH Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Disappointing always looking for a home draw, At least we have a chance of progressing. A few top teir teams meeting so possibility of a cup run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingfaetheSooth Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not worth getting the least bit excited until planning permission is sought to upgrade Palmerston and even then not really excited until the bulldozers are on site. The key to these sort of deals is enabling development and I can't get my head round how Queens can benefit this scheme apart from offering land. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer doon south Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 What would the business Park be focused on where would it be located and would it operate alongside the arena?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos_75 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 What would the business Park be focused on where would it be located and would it operate alongside the arena?? I can only imagine retail units would be under the new main and extended grandstand. Not a huge business park but I suppose enough for four or five businesses depending on the layout. On the face of things it is encouraging, however, there have been a number of false dawns regarding stadium redevelopment over the past 10 years or so. Out of interest who owns Park Farm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the false dawns so am reserving judgement/enthusiasm for the moment. Could be wrong but I'd always assumed that the big field ( Park Farm ) was owned by the farm ( Park Farm ) on Park Road 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We've been here before haven't we? I'll only get excited when I see a series of photos showing diggers etc. Like we had for the pitch replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the club have went to a lot of time and effort to complete these projects why haven't we seen any photographs or any decent articles on the OS or local press about them ? Our PR skills are still dreadful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidofthesouth Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I dont think I'm imagining this, but I'm sure the last time stadium reconstruction was on the cards the club spoke about moving the pitch further towards the Portland Road end, allowing the replacement for the old main stand to run pretty much the full length of the new pitch and also allowing a bit more room for development at Terregles street. I'm sure it also involved lopping off the last section of the new stand and sticking it on the other end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) In the "Memories of the Modern Era" book that I have from the 1994-5 to the 2004-05 season, there are architectural plans for the two stands to be built behind both goals at Palmerston. I could scan the sheet and post it up if anyone's interested? Edited December 4, 2015 by RUSTY1111 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 How's the weather down the road? Is Friday's game going to be in doubt?No. The pitch is fine. Its never not been fine. It was perfectly playable Saturday too (though wind may have put it off if we had been at home). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was perfectly playable Saturday too (though wind may have put it off if we had been at home). It was more about the windy conditions. How's it been so far? I suppose that wouldn't be decided until Friday anyway, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast is for fairly low winds of circa 15mph for Friday and at the moment for no rain after teatime.For what its worth, although it was quite windy today it certainly wasnt a storm or at match postponing levels. If the game had been tonight it would have been on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
