Aye but Carlisle are going for promotion and Queens most certainly are not!
yep truthhurts is right carlisle are all guns blazing to get promotion ,where as queens trundle along with a thread bare squad hoping for success but clutching at straws ,thats why carlisle got more when thay reduced prices ,we would still defo get a few more by doing what carlisle did but,the diff is carlisle will have put it about there town through tv ,radio ,papers and internet and thay would have made sure everyone in the cumbria area knew it was going to happen ,now all you would see from queens if thay did this would be a right up in the standard that hardly anyone buys ,the queens os site and maybe an odd shout on westsound ,now all of these combined will prob let about 20% of the dumfries population know queens have reduced prices for a match ,thats the diff .
ftivano hay i do think queens should defo still try this and pick a match say a month or more from now ,get our chairman and manager on the border tv new sports thingy bit ,talking it up and maybe a wee face showing on sportscene talking it up ,tv then done ,onto the radio chairman and manager having an interview time at peak time on westsound also a a bit on the alive radio ,and even on the radio scotland talking it up ,then onto the papers ,standard ,courier ,and even the daily record and sun talking it up ,then social media ,facebook ,twitter and the qos site plus messages on the pie and bov and mad sites talking it up ,then onto the posters and boards uptown .thats what it takes .and it should defo get to the whole population of our catchment area in peoples minds .
Queens fixtures and other events have never been more advertised the last couple of seasons and I’ve noticed a massive difference on the official site over the last few months. They now advertise events and reminders on a daily basis. Unfortunately you can’t make anyone turn up or support anything. It’s up to the individual.
Nobody can say Queens aren’t trying that’s for sure.
aloreburn ,,the official site ,yes its got better but who looks at it apart from the fans that already go watch queens ,and the standard paper loool thats a laughing stock ,hardly anyone bothers with it ,queens need to put themselfs into the minds of the polpulation that are currently uninterested in anything queens ,and for them to see what queens are offering the os and g&g standard aint going to cut it ,queens need to get in the public eye in a massive way through border news sport which most the dumfries public see or bbc scotland sport news ,with a press conferance type thing from manager and chairman ,only that kinda commitment is going to put queens in the eyes of the uninterested cause thay tend to watch these things ,put it this way i never go on the official site ,and havnt seen a standard paper in decades ,if i wasnt already a queens fan i would never know who thay were apart from seeing the big flood lights stick up at palmy and maybe say whos are thay lol .
Football like the first half last Saturday will drive more fans away, a bit more football like the second half last Saturday on a regular basis might just entice a few to return. Using Dobbie as a lone striker hoping to pick up scraps of chances as the rest of the team sit back playing a "containment" game isn't fair on the player or punters. Think what his total for the season would be if we played a system to get the best out of him. I get the impression at times Dobbie looks a bit fed up as he tries to urge his team-mates to push up the park a bit.
Queens should have played that system in the first half with 11 players.
