    yes i did mention it ,what i said was something like the buck stops with hewitson he supplies the budget that our managers work with and years ago when we went though a similar scenario under harkness where queens were being held back with a finacially restraining chairman we had enough and done a red card for harkness protest which did the job ,im not sure who organised it tbh ,tho peter coupland and a few others rings some bells ,all i can remember being part of it standing behind the directors box with banners and red cards in the air ,singing harkness must go ,then outside palmy after match ,this went on for a few weeks if im remembering correctly lol .but i doubt the fans have it in them nowadays to take things that far ,,the queens fans for me have got more passive over the years .

    We haven’t got a lot of money though Francis. The club won’t spend what they’ve not got. You do remember we made two massive financial losses the last two years ?

    yep i know queens havnt got alot of income coming in ,clubs like us rely heavily on outside investment to compete ,queens cant compete in the championship operating on there own income iv been saying this for years ,this is why we need propped up with investment each season ontop of our club income ,hewitson makes cash from queens is the word rather than gives cash to queens ,so are you in the camp of accepting we have no cash and we are operating at our peak which you know we are in freefall dont you ?or do the fans say enough is enough and demand better or change ,if we keep on the same path we will end upo back to a part time lower leagues club with even less ambition than we have now ,how many fans do you think will tag along with that scenario ,not many id expect ,at some point either a leap of faith needs to happen or keep it the same ,keeping it the way its going doesnt bare thinking about for me .

    I'm really not quite sure what you are trying to achieve?

    Getting rid of the very person who is bank rolling the club is maybe not a very good idea, - but what do I know?

    We're already in crisis with every politician in the country having absolutely no idea what they are doing and having no plan whatsoever with regards to what to do after Brexit, - but many are hell-bent on pursuing it.

    This appears to be along the same lines, - let's vote to get rid of the very person who is keeping the club afloat, but you don't have a workable solution once you succeed.

    Boris Johnson is likely to walk away once he has created a disaster, are you willing to step in with a workable plan of what to do once you have evicted the chairman. I have my doubts.

    We have discussed the financial situation on this board until we are all blue in the face and unless or until a white knight is going to appear from some magical world far, far away, - it might be in all our best interests to actually try and encourage the chairman to stay.

    To put it another way: It's like turkeys voting for Christmas.

    I agree fully Jardi that unless there is someone prepared to step into Hewitson's shoes with a wad of cash to splash on a struggling team I see no point in protesting against the present incumbent. We need instead to get behind the team giving them our support and let's face it if we had taken even a small number of the numerous chances we have been creating in the Ayr and Clyde games, Alloa not included in this, then the situation would be looking very much different. I for one am not a turkey although others may beg to differ
