Give me a break. You're awfully aggressive for somebody that supposedly doesn't care. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree but if I was a Queens fan I'd be asking how it takes 3 years to still not finish a staduim where the pitch was already in place and a capacity of 1000. If you lot were to gain promotion with no stadium in place then it's the biggest farce in Scottish football since secvo 2012 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a farce is it that "bigger" teams haven't dealt with us well. Results on the pitch decide who gets promoted. If we are good enough we go up, ready or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, now it does…we have those albatross north and south stands due to the 10,000 capacity rule for promotion. That one rule, more than any other, financial hammered so many clubs it strengthened the OF even more. Even after it did its dirty work, the OF held everyone to the 6,000 rule for a while too. Lesser Hampden is a disgrace (due to management stupidity), but it would also be delicious to hear the crying and wails if Queen’s Park get promoted.

Sorry to hear a daft rule on stadium capacity caused Raith and others financial grief. But i am not sure I understand your point. Are you arguing because you went through it every other club should to? Points on the board, not stadium or crowd size decide championships. As for Lesser Hampden, we are all fed up with the fact that a League One stadium is being built and it will need a lot more work and possibly more time pkaying elsewere for us. When construction decisions were taken the club didn't expect us to be in the Chamionship let alone leading it. In some ways QP are victims of their own success. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm it’s got a bit of an Edinburgh FC vibe. Not as bad as that looks but not great. Is there going to be terracing too or is that it? Is the building in the photo below still there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the "Farm House" (pictured), which was reputedly the oldest building in world football was demolished initially to make way for the West Stand which would have given us a stadium capacity of 1700. A subsequent redesign abandoned the west stand for a "Royal Box" which brought our ground capacity to below 1000. We are ecstatic about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who thought it would be a good idea? Well...I do need somewhere nice to sit...oh if only... Really baffling decision to me. My guess is it is something to do with corporate hospitality as the Box seems to be connected to the main pavilion. But why we had to do something bespoke rather than a stand with some nicer seats is a bit beyond me frankly.
