Peasie 103 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Says on wiki Queens Park are the owners of Hampden they have an average attendence of 750 we will probably have a big crowd for this game which would mean Queens Park will make a full seasons home revenue in one match is this correct ?If Rangers do take a sizeable support to Hampden for both games, say for instance the second game there decides the championship, those two games (coupled with the crowds from their other 16 games) could take Queen's Park average attendance to match some of the clubs at the lower end of the SPL especially as a few of those clubs will have an average considerably down from last season.

Peasie 103 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think to keep momentum going in terms of attendance we need to have bench mark games. The Xmas derby this year at Hampden should be such a game.There will likely be more at the Rangers-Clyde game on Boxing Day than the rest of the SPL-SFL put together.

thegummy 4,472 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The question for me is who will get the money?Just to make 100% sure I emailed their secretary and received this confirmation:I can confirm that all SFL gate receipts are kept by the home clubs. The SFA do not take a levy from League matches nor derive income from them. I can also confirm that QPFC remain owners of the National Stadium, the SFA lease the stadium from us.Really hope we get a massive crowd at this one, it'll be amusing if the biggest sellout of the year in the whole country was from the lowest league.

supermac 115 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 We MUST sell out this game No excuses, it will be a site to behold. I reckon QP will have 1,000 fans tops and we will have 51,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlin 222 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Would we deffo get such a big allocation, what actually is the highest away crowd record? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think to keep momentum going in terms of attendance we need to have bench mark games. The Xmas derby this year at Hampden should be such a game.As noted Queens were once a huge club. Had they not stayed amateur Glasgow could have had 2 big teams and Scottish football would have been very different.Would be great to honour our heritage and get a huge turn out at Hampden for what is arguably Glasgow's original derby. If people get behind it this can be a real highlight of our SPL3 tour.Fixed that for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Would we deffo get such a big allocation, what actually is the highest away crowd record? Well why wouldnt we when there are 50,000 empty seats every game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Question, if QP own hampden, why do they own it? Why would a club as small as them own a stadium like hampden?QP were the biggest Club in Scottish Football back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasie 103 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Would we deffo get such a big allocation, what actually is the highest away crowd record?There is probably no such record - most record crowds were set in the 40s and 50s - did segregation exist back then?

The Judderman 175 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 It is their traditional home ground and was always theirs, the same as Ibrox has always been ours since we first moved there. Just because it is a small club does not mean they should not own a big stadium, it was decided to make it the national stadium of Scotland and so was developed far more than say ochilview ever will be because of that tag.correct in 1 ! QP were a massive team at one point Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Am I correct in saying Queens Park play most of their matches at lesser Hampden these days?Not that they'd even consider that with Rangers coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewGer 606 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 QP were the biggest Club in Scottish Football back in the day.Indeed, still the 3rd most successful side in the Scottish Cup. The game at Hampden is just after Christmas and me and the guys can't bloody wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersandy 594 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 What we need to do now is put pressure on Queens Park to open up the whole stadium. Label it the 'original glasgow derby', and sell it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_blue_82 3 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 About a month ago, me and my dad were discussing this. My dad emailed QP to ask the question and received reply that all monies from QP home games go to QP. I'll try and get my dad to forward the email to me and I'll post it later.

dukestreetsoup 69 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The QP kids play at lesser Hampden and its a 3G pitch. Seniors still play in the stadium. However what could be a problem is that there is work scheduled to be undertaken on the stadium in preparation for the Commonwealth Games. Lets hope its not soon!
