TopCat Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 Rangers all but confirmed to be playing at Hampden for the first quarter of the season at least. Unclear at this stage what impact this will have on the ridiculous, hipster nonsense of a club that is Queens Park.

Queen's Park are currently not scheduled to play at Hampden until September, after the first round of Nations League Qualifiers are out of the way. Suppose that will help with scheduling the start of the season anyway. Shambles what's going on with Lesser Hampden.
Scott Posted July 11, 2024 Posted July 11, 2024 I don’t understand how Lesser is ready to host pre season friendlies vs Celtic for example, as well as some early season fixtures but then they move in September. What is the reason behind it?

What is the reason behind it? Hampden wasn't to be available as the pitch wasn't going to be ready after summer gigs until Scotland v Poland in September, with Queen's Park moving in after that. The price of Rangers getting to use it sooner is spending millions that the SFA (rightly) wouldn't in order to get the pitch in playable condition. It is nevertheless an outrage that Queen's Park are allowed to use it at all, solely because Lesser is not close to being big enough to host Championship football; tough. It was their own gross incompetence which led to them having a 900 capacity stadium in a footprint that could have easily and even relatively cheaply accommodated 4000+. The terms of the groundshare should really involve Queen's Park not being allowed to keep any gate receipts over and above the capacity of Lesser - there's nothing in principle stopping everyone else shifting games to Hampden or Murrayfield as they please to rake it in from big away crowds otherwise. If that means they make a colossal loss after paying the rent then tough, they should have built a proper stadium and they can beg Haughey to fling them more money to cover it after all he's already burned on their squad. They're the biggest parasites in the history of Scottish football. Over a century leeching off the rest of the clubs funding their stadium for them through the SFA, and now leeching off the rest of us again when the disgrace of them making money through Hampden has finally been resolved, they've had their opportunity to design their own stadium and made a complete mess of it.

Agree with everything, but ultimately Haughey owns half of Hampden, and if he wants to let his little play thing stink the place out that’s entirely up to him, and with the power he has over the SFA, there’s very little they can do about it. The SFA should have told Queen’s Park to take or leave an offer that allowed them exclusive ownership of the ground. Had they walked away from the purchase and chosen to play Scotland games and big cup ties elsewhere they’d have killed off Queen’s Park, or driven the price down to the extent that Queen’s Park had no option.

Alibi Posted July 13, 2024 Posted July 13, 2024 Need to make sure we turn them over in that opening fixture. "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Let's hope this season is as shite as possible for them. It wont amount to much. Thanks to the success of Wrexham Netflix series there will be countless football clubs planning some kind of docu-soap following their fortunes. Apparently Motherwell have a rich investor planning something similar. That horrible lot from Possilpark can join the fucking queue if they think they can pin their hopes and future wellbeing on some glorified advert for their birdshit stained stands and tinpot football club. They've had hours upon hours of free publicity thanks to thee BBC luvvies over the years and they still struggle to get average gates over 3k. Nobody cares about them outwith their natural constituency. Next.

Confirmed Rangers to use Hampden (initially) until the Scotland game on 5th September with Queens Park's move in date still pencilled in for the week after. There was still time for Queens Park to drop their drawers and move their game at Lesser against Livi from Saturday the 10th to Friday 9th August so Rangers can play Ross County at Hampden on the Saturday.

Toby Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 Awfully convenient that the fixture list only gives Queen’s Park one home fixture out of the first four before their scheduled return to Greater Hampden- a scenario not replicated for any other club in the division, and conveniently enough against Livingston, the club least likely to bring a large travelling support to their wee tissue box. This of course after last year having been scheduled to play three of their first four away from home (and actually playing four of their first five away as they shoehorned their midweek October fixture into the free Saturday that we played Rangers). Of course, their sole home fixture was against Arbroath, one of the two clubs (along with Inverness) least likely to bring a travelling support in last year’s division. While we were getting sent up to the back of beyond on the final day of the season year on year, there definitely seems to be a pattern emerging to benefit some clubs with the fixture list. “Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others”.
Scott Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 Blair Alston has left Partick. Could he be heading our way?
RossMcC1874 Posted July 17, 2024 Posted July 17, 2024 Imagine a number of teams will be in for him. Very good experience for the level not sure where he would fit in with us considering the the amount of attacking players we have.

TONofmemories Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 Ayr sign Mikey Devlin. Fair throwing the cash around TIME FOR CHANGE!
Toby Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 In other, more encouraging news, David Munro, who officiated our 3-2 defeat at Stark’s Park, awarding big-spending Raith Rovers that ludicrous penalty when Lewis Vaughan appeared to drop dead within four yards of Darragh O’Connor and booked eight Morton players but failed to send off Jack Hamilton for a second booking and Ross Millen for a flying elbow, has resigned from his position as an SFA referee. This is absolutely fantastic news for Scottish football as a whole. Genuinely the single worst referee ai’ve ever seen in all my time watching football, and I remember Brian Cassidy and Colin Hardie. Good riddance.
