It must be an age thing , always thought the Celtic game was our 50th . Hopefully we will get someone better (more attractive) than Carlisle for our 100th , can't believe there is no word on who we are playing. Knowing the comments about our chairman , it might be the Gers lol.

The above is the programne front cover for a game that Queens played in Mar 70 at Palmerston against the Russian touring team Kharkov Metallist. This was the first game that Queens had played against a team from outwith the British Isles since we won the European Cup in 1936.

I`m old enough (60)to have been at all 3 of the games being discussed here. I don`t remember that much about them. I think we beat the Russian team 2-0 but would have to check that.Originally Posted by JRSLEFTPEG

Yes Dobs I was at the game and Ches got both goals - although at that time they played in a Russian league Kharkov is in the Ukraine and the version of the team that we played then went bust a few years ago.

Thanks. We of course regarded them as "Russian or Soviet" at the time but as you say Ukraine is correct.

Dream on. Not many big teams are interested in playing on the plastic surface.
