Details major partnership deal between private investors and the Crichton Development Trust will be laid out.

The proposals include the creation of two new grandstands and a business park at Palmerston Park, a major sporting facility for youth development, a museum and a new purpose built campus for the University of the West of Scotland.

Hopefully they replace the old stand but please don't demolish and build a stand on the Portland Road End .......

hmmm how many times have we heard this kind of thing in the past ,and whats the betting 5 years down the line the question will come up ,what ever happened to this big development that was in the papers lol .

I reckon that the two new stands would be for behind both goals. Main and East stands should be fine. A youth development facility, business park and club museum all look like exciting prospects.

The West stand is about to fall down and condemned so it is not fine - I am not confident all this will go ahead as there have been a few false hopes dashed in the past !

You reckon wrong Albertz >>

"We need to address the issue of the ground itself. We need a new main stand." Billy Hewitson QoSfc chairman.

Russell you obviously have not been in the main stand much recently as it is long past its sell - buy date. At
a loss actually how it passes safety inspections - needs to come down sooner rather than later ! Moving
the main office to the Arena this / last week could be the first move in the right direction.

[QOS_MAD_ADMIN]

Wait a minute - they are looking for investors - no money on the table yet as far as I can see !

[QOS_MAD_ADMIN]

Latest is that the West Stand will be rebuilt and the Terregles St will be covered - don't hold your breath !
