If it wasn’t for Billy Hewitson buying that bit of land off of Queens which in turn paid our bills,I doubt we’d still be here.
Yes Queens were on the verge of going under if it was not for the supporters rallying around to bail them out. Most of the cup final money was wasted as you say on paying average players silly money at the time with the inevitable consequences. What grieved me then and now was a lack of thanks to those fans which helped the club out during that dark period. People have very short or more likely blinkered memories.
