The fact that many clubs started as amateurs meant the terms "oldest professional club in Scotland" and "first professional club in Scotland" could be mutually exclusive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanEwart Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I read somewhere that Sir Willie Haughey has offered to help Queens Park financially with the transition to professional status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Soft spot for the Spiders, always seemed a well run club despite their amateur status. Lesser Hampden doesn't look great for spectators with the running track round the pitch. Edited November 16, 2019 by Wrangodog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asasaid Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 It's confirmed then, that wee weasel is the only true amateur (in all aspects of it's definition) left in Scotland that has ever been associated with the QP club. Pointless him trying to be professional, he's already the best he'll ever be as a first rate dick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Repatriated Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 One interesting fact from that article. QP players always play with their shirts untucked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riccarton Bluebell Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I think Queens Park will need to change the wording on their badge. The Latin words translated mean, to play for the sake of playing, which was in reference to their amateur status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they will change it to the Latin for 'to play for the money' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
