The Queen of the South thread

[Monkey Tennis]

This pursuit of cash as the main prize is distasteful and misses the point.

[die hard doonhamer]

With every cup the aim has to be progression, not cash. A favourable draw would have given us a great chance to make the semi final of the competition for the first time in 56 seasons!

[Northfield 53]

Money gets us better players.

Wonder if we would have signed DOBBIE if we had got knocked out of the Cup early on..

Cup money is very important to a club the size of Queens

Progression also gets us money. More of it, in fact.

I think we would have signed Dobbie even if we had lost all 3 group games.

Of course money is welcome and of course we're still in the Cup.

However, we might have had a good chance of reaching a semi-final and as it is, we've a fairly small chance now.

I'd argue that Cup progress to the latter stages is very important to a club the size of Queens, because it doesn't come round that often and that's what gives us the big memories; not handy windfalls.

Great draw make £250,000 or gamble and say play Morton make £50,000 and maybe lose the game 

Where are you making these numbers up from. Both wildly optimistic. If everybody paid themselves in multiple times I doubt we would get £50k from a Morton game.

[Doonhamer doon south]

The silver lining is the club stand to make decent money from the tie. I hope the tie on TV cos I get to watch. An easier route would of been good however would be great to beat sevco on their patch.

is making the Quarter finals not worth 50k + 20k Bt money hopefully with 3/4 shown live plus 40% ticket money = roughly 200K?

 

[MrDust]

Oh well, enjoy pulling the head off it all the same to Falkirk TV! [emoji6]

Comedy gold, with that Bernard Manning routine, I'll laugh when I get a time machine back to 1992....Sitting near to Mustafa is all the queens fans need to turn up to games, a real novelty act

[JessieField]

I just hope it's one of the 3 games chosen for tv, I didn't like the ex Motherwell pundit on BT saying Morton v Dundee United would be a sellout and a great match.

 

[19QOS19]

Of the 4 ties the least exciting tie is comfortably Celtic Vs Alloa. I'll be extremely shocked if Celtic miss out on one of the 3 slots though. How else are there 'fans' supposed to watch their team play in a half empty stadium?

Do we get money for the game being on Tv or was it all divvied up between the teams at the start ?

I would rather Queens made money from the Rangers game maybe that will let Skelton get another 2 players in

Deary me. How many quarter finals of cup competitions do we get to ? Funnily enough my first thought when watching a draw isn't oh goody we will get pumped but we can now sign another player. A winnable home tie and the chance of a semi final was what I and I think most wanted.

Just need a decent performance ,frustrate Rangers in front of there home crowd and we could have the best of both worlds.

Then Celtic at home in the semis

Semis are at a neutral venue.

[SUPERSOUTH]

Have we any possible signings training with us? Skelton/Thomson said looking to add another couple of quality players before window closes the extra cash from last nights cup draw might help.

[spacekid84]

Obviously everyone wants us to progress, but as Doonhamer doon South said the money we will make is the silver lining IF we get knocked out.

It'll be a hard game, but so would Alloa, Morton or whoever we got.

We'll go to Ibrox and have a go, it certainly won't be the easy game all the Dumfries Rangers fans think it will be.

 Imagine that policing and stewarding expenses are very high at Mordor. Unlikely to be a really big crowd either with so many games around this time of year. I imagine if we clear six figures we'll be doing well. Not to be sneezed at, right enough. 

[Sloop John B]

Wanting Rangers because It's a good payday is such a depressing reason when it's  a quarter final of a national cup competition for which we haven't even made the semis  since 1960/61 let alone win the thing,

Is the prize money for losing quarter finalists not £50k? Thought I read that on here somehwhere. But it may not be correct even if I did, of course.
