The Spider's v The Lion's/Friday 9th August.


Recommended Posts

Capacity is 959, although a section in the centre of the stand is given over to hospitality. Taking that and season ticket holders into account that leaves very few tickets for sale to the general public. You're lucky you got 256 tickets!

1001 if we include the 42 in the Death Star Royal box?

I thought the hospitality guests got into the black box, what is the actual point of it if its not just by hospitality?

That's *corporate* hospitality
Your average punter who buys hospitality gets put in the main stand, shepherded pitchside from the JBM by the secret service at the start of games

Hospitality for the average punter above. Their block of black padded seats is right on the halfway line. No idea who the people are who make it to the Royal Box, apart from the QP "directors" and the opposing club's  equivalents.

It’s all been said before but…….As a piece of architecture it’s woeful, as part of a ‘stadium’ it’s a joke; but that photo there, the contrast of the black, stark exclusivity of the few prominent against the backdrop of Glasgow Tenements is just so wrong on so many levels, arrogant, tone deaf and embarrassing.   How that ever got planning permission I will never know.

Said it before, but I find it genuinely annoying to look at. All you can see is what it could have been. It’s a monument to missed opportunity and every single one of the worst aspects of what we’ve become.

That's exactly how I feel too. 

I'm not just bugged by it I'm really pissed off every time I look at it. 

It should be knocked down so we can build a proper stand, like a proper football club would.

I am not surprised you are pissed off. It is everything that is wrong with how some treat football and its fans. Matching blazers, clearout the best malt every Saturday and get in for f**k all whilst contributing very little.

Don't forget the CIA style headset and sunglasses combo and frisking elderly men and women at the gate "got any knock off jujubes granny?" Empty your handbag now!

Tough game to call tonight.Queens at home will be a tough nut to crack.Suspect the first goal if any will be crucial. Livi seem to have gotten the Spartans debacle out of their systems and looked good,albeit against a poor Pars team last week. Falkirk looked decent last week, but Queens had their chances.Early doors,but points so important at this time of the season,could make a huge difference to both.Mon the Lions.🦁👍⬆️.

Think the whole ground is sold out. It's almost as if one tiny ridiculous stand is nowhere near suitable for football at this level; shocking, truly.

Probably came as a bit of a shock to the committee. They'll be trying to work out why nobody told them.

Totally agree. They can keep the soft play area and chandelier at the back if they want, and even hang on to their padded seats in a new 'proper' stand - just give us some more seats with a decent view!

Dare I say it? - the original plans were "bigger and better".

Do queens stream their games? 

Afraid not, so with there being literally no tickets left there's literally no way to watch the game (other than from the grassy hill next to Lesser).

No. Our media team do a great job, but the club have to give them the backing as well. Anything involving a connection between club and fans has been put to the bottom of pile when it comes to investment. The cost of everything and the value of nothing springs to mind.
