Seeing the attendances recently between Dunfermline and Falkirk as well as last nights cup game with Falkirk and Ayr you have to very much question the attendances at Palmerston in recent hard times. Often you hear "well the quality of football is pure crap" but surely the Falkirk supporters have been through the same experience since relegation to the First Division but rather than look for an excuse to walk away they have continued to back their home team magnificently with around 3500 for the home games. Some may say that the Falkirk population is much bigger than Dumfries but it is around twice as big but it is simple that their supporters have continually stuck behind their club whilst the wavering Queens fans look for any reason to walk away and that is the reason why Queens are unlikely to challenge at the top level of Scottish football. We are very much a provincial club and until the locals get fully behind the club we will remain so.
Just a thought after the last couple of weeks.
