    Excuse me Francis but do you really think that the club is not trying to get to the Premier League? There are doing the very best on very limited resources which is costing the club plenty of money as evident by today's poor financial returns. Your record is clearly broken and by constantly making the same point is becoming very tiresome indeed. We have all got your message and the people at the club are giving their all whilst the Dumfries public seem uninterested in their hame team.

    yep spike its frustrating tho ,watching from the outside ,everyone knows whats needed ,but i cant see many solutions arising ,loss after loss each season is worrying ,maybe the aberdeen game with the tv cash will offset this loss ,we could really do to get through this tie ,guys attracting the dumfries public to watch queens could well get a wee shot in the arm for a few seasons like it did in 2008 if we get through this scottish cup tie as like before some new blood will start coming along for a while .

    I always felt that the money earned from the cup final was squandered on paying to much for bang average players which nearly brought the club to the verge of extinction not long afterwards. Any cash needs to wisely invested in the clubs long term future. It is a difficult conundrum to resolve Francis.

    yep it was squandered on bang average players ,but i think davy rae did the right thing he put trust in his manager and went for the gamble ,now where queens were in standing at that time any backwards steps while we were on the move forward would have resulted in a backlash from the public ,none foreseen queens going into debt after such a great few seasons with league crowds averaging 3000 area and cup runs galore ,queens were on the verge of taking the next step and the dumfries public were taking notice ,nowadays theres nothing to interest the dumfries public regarding queens ,and yes we have mr dobbie but that alone isnt near enough to build up that sort of interest that thay had during those few years .
