The Monk 3,207 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So if a stadiums capacity is say 4,000 and they expect around 400 home fans would they allow us to fill up the rest of the stadium and have a majority of away fans? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

debear 603 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Does that not give the SFA more money?Its Queens Parks stadium and they rent it out.The SFA formed a company to give them a loan to regenerate the stadium and Queens Park pay the loan back. Money essentially goes to Queens Park, but it would go to repaying the loan to the SFA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Is it not actually Queens Park who own the ground?I seriously doubt it. On a side note, Queens Park used to be the biggest team in Scotland and am quite sure when they first started, they went a number of years without losing a game, winning everything. Anyone know what happened to them? And dont just say, it was because we came along, I genuinelly want to know what happened to a massive Glasgow club, that Partic Thistle are now bigger than.

Most of the national team came from their side. Does anyone know how long they were in existance for until they lost their first match? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
