This shows to me how important it is for Queens to do quite well in the Cups but this seasons abysmal Cup performances will have a knock on effect in next years financial statement .------------The pitch, arena and gym hire is slightly down on 2018 figures. I'm guessing that more of 5G all weather pitches in the area could be hitting Queens as they are not the ' only show in town" with these facilities. Or it could be that the King George gym is costing Queens money to operate. The Dumfries area is saturated with gymnasiums now and probably hard to get more folk signed up in a very competitive area . --------The ' other activities'is up 40,000 in a year although I'm not sure what that would involve ? Weekly/ Deluxe draw possibly-------- Some folk might not want to hear this but without Billy Hewitson's initiatives, we would almost certainly be part time by now. Yes, he could be more of a people person and tell us about his realistic ambitions for Queens but his contribution is there in black and white . No one had a clue what to do with the Lows Supermarket building but he did and made it happen.
And let’s not forget Billy Hewitson has since got a major new tenant in James Hallam which won’t be on these financial figures. Without the Arena and pitch hire we’d be struggling in league 1 or maybe even 2. We’ve so much to thank the BOD’s for
