On behalf of Queens <strong>Park</strong> Football Club, I have<br />
much pleasure in welcoming Gordon Thomson and<br />
his fellow Directors, Brown Ferguson and his<br />
Coaching Staff and the Players and Supporters of<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> Football Club to Hampden <strong>Park</strong> for<br />
our SPFL Division 1 play-off (1st leg) match this<br />
evening.<br />
I have no doubt at all that this will be a significant<br />
challenge for Queens <strong>Park</strong> but one that we very<br />
much look forward to. It is a slightly unusual match<br />
in that the two Clubs have not opposed each other<br />
for several years therefore to some extent there<br />
will be an “unknown factor” involved but I’m sure<br />
that it will be a highly competitive contest.<br />
I very much hope that you all enjoy the match.<br />

A Word from the Gaffer.<br />
Welcome to Hampden for the first leg<br />
of the SPFL League 1 Play Off Final, our<br />
first play off final since 2007.<br />
This is our final home game of the<br />
season and on behalf of the team, I<br />
would like to thank everyone for their<br />
support both home and away.<br />
Saturday’s game was tense for both<br />
teams with so much at stake. We were<br />
delighted with our late winner which<br />
sets us up for a tough couple of games<br />
with tonight’s opposition<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong>.<br />
Both teams go into this game on the<br />
back of games going to extra time,<br />
however, I am sure that both teams<br />
realise the importance of the next two<br />
games and will relish the chance to<br />
play in League 1 next year.<br />
I look forward to welcoming you back<br />
to Hampden at the start of next<br />
season, with some new faces and some<br />
more great games to watch.<br />
Have a great summer and enjoy the<br />
game.<br />
Gus MacPherson<br />
Head Coach.

When They Met 61 Years Ago<br />
2 January 1954 - <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> 4 <strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> 0<br />
<strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> and this evening’s opponents <strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> have met on numerous<br />
occasions in the Scottish League since 1922, with both clubs having their share of victories.<br />
One of <strong>Queen’s</strong> best wins against the Warriors came in a Division B match on Saturday 2<br />
January 1954.<br />
As was the tradition in Scotland at the time, teams played on both New Year’s Day and the<br />
following day. On the first two days of 1954, <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> faced Third Lanark and<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong>, with both games at Hampden <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
The Ne’erday derby with Thirds ended in a 1-1 draw, although, on the balance of play,<br />
<strong>Queen’s</strong> should have had two points rather than only one.<br />
No one knew quite what to expect against promotion-minded <strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> on the<br />
following day. <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> were regarded as being a somewhat unpredictable outfit at<br />
the time. Thankfully for the Spiders’ fans in the crowd of 6,000, <strong>Queen’s</strong> turned in one of<br />
their better performances and the Larbert men were unable to match the home side’s skill<br />
and opportunism.<br />
The opening stages of the match were fairly dull but once <strong>Queen’s</strong> got into their stride,<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> had no answer. The opening goal came in 29 minutes when Junior Omand<br />
squeezed home a Charlie Church cross at the near post. Goal number two came in 69<br />
minutes. Omand was again the scorer, racing through on a Max Murray pass to fire home<br />
a splendid goal. Ron McKinven added to the Spiders’ lead in 80 minutes with a great rightfoot<br />
shot and, five minutes later, Bobby Dalziel put the icing on the cake with an angled<br />
shot from close range.<br />
Star man for <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> was Willie “Junior” Omand, who posed a constant threat to the<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> defence. The match programme remarked, “Only Omand of our forwards<br />
has not scored. We really look upon ‘Junior’ as one to make openings rather than cap<br />
them”. Junior’s response was to score two fine opportunist goals.<br />
The teams on that January afternoon were: -<br />
Frank McCrossan<br />
On This Day<br />
<strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> - Hastie Weir; Ian Harnett and Neil Dewar; Bert Cromar, Andy Bell and Willie<br />
Hastie; Charlie Church, Ron McKinven, Max Murray, Bobby Dalziel and Junior Omand.<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> – George Brown; Alex Paterson and Peter Smith; Colin McLean, David<br />
Paton and Bobby Wilson; Bobby Thomson and Jimmy Silcock; John Clifford; John<br />
Cuthbertson and Alex Anderson.<br />
Events Elsewhere on 2 January 1954<br />
In Division C (South-West Section), the <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Strollers went down 6-2 to<br />
Stranraer’s first eleven at Stair <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
The BBC agreed to pay £1,500 to televise the 1954 FA Cup Final. This was an increase of<br />
fifty per cent on the previous year.<br />
The St Andrew’s Society of Glasgow protested against “certain inaccurate terms” in the<br />
<strong>Queen’s</strong> Christmas Day broadcast from New Zealand. They objected particularly to the<br />
reference to Queen Elizabeth 1 of England as a forebear of the present Queen, where<br />
her ancestor was in fact Mary Queen of Scots, as well as to the suggestion that the<br />
Queen was undertaking her voyage around the world as the Queen of England rather<br />
than the Queen of the United Kingdom.<br />
The Brazilian FA decided to change their national colours from blue and white to yellow<br />
and green to stimulate the players.<br />
As was the custom on the first Saturday of the New Year, a toast was give to the<br />
Monarch and all visitors at the end of every league game played in England. The toast<br />
was drunk in champagne from a loving cup presented before the war to all members of<br />
the Football League by Sir Francis Joseph of Stoke City.<br />
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, a 45 year-old tram driver was fined £10 for driving a tramcar in<br />
Farmloan Road, Rutherglen while under the influence of drink and causing the tram to<br />
collide with a Corporation bus.<br />
Three Burmese circus elephants were frightened by a Pomeranian dog at Olympia in<br />
London and crashed into a sideshow, bringing it down on a showman and his wife. The<br />
woman, who was only 34 inches tall, was taken to hospital with broken ribs. The dog<br />
was trampled to death by the elephants.<br />
West German government estimated that there were still over 96,000 German prisoners<br />
of war in Russia.<br />
A spectator grappled with Bolton goalkeeper Stan Hanson on the pitch at Anfield. He<br />
had rushed at the ‘keeper shouting, “That was a goal. You know it was” after the referee<br />
turned down a Liverpool penalty claim. Surprisingly, Liverpool police did not charge the<br />
fan.<br />
There was concern that Mrs Dale, radio’s favourite soap character, might not last out<br />
1954. BBC executives were unnerved by an audience drop from four million to three<br />
million. In the event, Mrs Dale and her diary lasted a further fifteen years.
Alloa Athletic. The journeyman forward has scored goals for every club he has been on the<br />
books of and he has 7 to his name this season for The Warriors.<br />
We extend a warm welcome to Hampden<br />
today to Brown Ferguson and his<br />
<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> squad for our first leg<br />
League One play off final.<br />
Stenny reached this stage courtesy of a 4-<br />
2 aggregate win over East Fife in the semi<br />
finals. Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg<br />
at Bayview The Warriors ran out 3-1<br />
winners after extra time on Saturday.<br />
Kieran Miller had given them the lead in<br />
the 2nd minute before Jonathan Page<br />
levelled for the The Fifers with only<br />
minutes of the match remaining.<br />
Stenny won the game and booked their<br />
place in the play off final courtesy of extra<br />
time goals from Jamie McCormack and ex<br />
Queen's <strong>Park</strong> man Craig Sutherland.<br />
The Manager - Brown Ferguson<br />
Brown took over the reigns at Ochilview as<br />
Key Players<br />
Caretaker manager in February 2015<br />
before being given the position on a<br />
permanent basis in April.<br />
Prior to going into management Ferguson<br />
had a playing career which saw him<br />
represent a number of senior clubs in<br />
Scotland.<br />
Having started off with East Stirlingshire in<br />
1998 he went on to play for Alloa Athletic<br />
(twice), Hamilton Accies, Partick Thistle<br />
before ending his playing career at Stenny.<br />
Since taking over as manager in February<br />
he has led the side in 15 games; winning 3,<br />
drawing 3 and losing 9 giving him a win<br />
percentage of 20%.<br />
Stewart Greacen<br />
33 year old centre back Greacen began his Career at Rangers as a<br />
youth player before going on to play for Airdrionians, Livingston,<br />
Queen of the South, Greenock Morton (twice), Derry City (twice)<br />
and Gelntoran before arriving at Ochilview in<br />
January 2014. Stewart’s experience is an<br />
invaluable asset for The Warriors.<br />
Martin Grehan<br />
Striker Grehan joined Stenny in the summer of 2014 having<br />
previously played for Dundonald Bluebell, Motherwell, Fofar<br />
Athletic, Striling Albion, Partick Thistle, Stranraer (twice) and<br />
Colin McMenamin<br />
Prolific goalscorer McMenamin joined Stenny in the summer of 2014<br />
having previously played for 11 other clubs. McMenamin is another<br />
who could aptly be described as a journeyman of the game and like<br />
fellow striker Grehan he has a scored goals wherever he has been,<br />
most notably 23 goals in 46 appearances for Gretna, 20 goals in 44<br />
appearances for Ross County and 21 goals in 80 games at Dundee.<br />

Keith McAllister<br />
Imagine that you ran a cinema in the town and someone<br />
came up to the door and said that they ran the cinema<br />
down the road and they wanted in for nothing. You’d<br />
chase them. Or if you had a bakery and the guy from the<br />
bakery across the street came in and thought that it would<br />
be acceptable for him to take some of your stock without<br />
paying simply because he had a bakery too. You’d be over<br />
the counter (age and infirmity permitting) and send him<br />
briskly on his way. Yet, in football, this is not the case.<br />
I’ve written before about the crazy situation we have in<br />
football where a huge host of people think that because<br />
they are involved in the game they can simply come to<br />
watch a game without paying. The reason that my dander<br />
is up (a situation that is cause for celebration at my<br />
advanced age) is that we have a big game tonight and I just<br />
know that there will be a queue like an execution to uplift<br />
free tickets. Now I have no problem whatsoever with<br />
anyone who puts something into this fine club, such as<br />
sponsors, ex-players and coaches, coming in with our<br />
blessing.<br />
But there is a line to be drawn. Particularly when there are<br />
cancellations or on nights like tonight, we’ll have been<br />
besieged by those looking for free tickets. It’s just not right.<br />
I’ve been in the QP office on occasion and seen the<br />
requests for tickets flood in, and I’ve seen some people<br />
make a bit of a scene when their personal requests for<br />
tickets due to some tenuous link to either QP, the<br />
opposition or no link whatsoever are rebuffed. I<br />
particularly remember one woman demand, yes DEMAND,<br />
that someone from the <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> office head off to look<br />
for her father who assured her that he’d arrange for free<br />
tickets to be left for her and her entourage. Six people<br />
were to be let in free because this woman’s father was the<br />
manager of the opposition. He wasn’t taking her ‘phone<br />
calls, so she expected someone to go looking for him, and<br />
this is when our office was in the portacabins in Somerville<br />
Drive. She was politely told that there was no one available<br />
to do that. My admiration for the member of staff who<br />
dealt with her, increased immeasurably. I would<br />
have dealt with that situation disastrously. She<br />
would have ended up slapping me and there<br />
would have been a strongly worded letter of<br />
complaint going to the President. I am not a<br />
political animal.<br />
I remember a few years ago, two clubs in our<br />
division who were two of the poorest supported,<br />
sent round an e-mail to every club in Scotland<br />
saying that they would not be providing free<br />
tickets for anyone. Everyone had to pay to<br />
watch the game. It was only two teams out of 42<br />
and I wonder how long that policy ran. Hopefully<br />
it is still in place today.<br />
For a <strong>Queen’s</strong> home match, the money coming<br />
through the turnstiles isn’t great. From our fairly<br />
dismal average of 500 or so enlightened and<br />
handsome individuals, you can deduct full<br />
members and season ticket holders. A fair<br />
number take advantage of our excellent<br />
concession price, meaning that auld yins and<br />
students get in for £2.00 and wee yins get in for a<br />
pound if they bring an adult. That leaves a gey<br />
few actually paying top whack. Without knowing<br />
the numbers and having never asked, I’ll take a<br />
stab at about the 150 mark paying £12.00. Yes,<br />
it will be more than that tonight, but how many<br />
will be blagging their way in? 50? That’s 50<br />
times £12 = £600. Not much if you are Celtic or<br />
the like, but that pays for an away bus for<br />
<strong>Queen’s</strong>.<br />
So, why is it that football permits this nonsense<br />
to endure? Do we not need the money? Are we<br />
afraid that we’ll offend someone? I know that<br />
I’m peeing against the wind with this, and I’ve<br />
relinquished my humble place of power at this<br />
most wonderful of clubs so I’m in no position to<br />
influence anything, but if there was one small<br />
change that I’d like to see at this level of football,<br />
where 300 is a good crowd for some teams, I’d<br />
decree that everyone pays.<br />
I go back to my initial analogies. Any business<br />
that feels that it can afford to give away its<br />
product is not going to stay in a healthy state for<br />
long. Football at our level is on its uppers. I<br />
would love every club to be united in saying, “I<br />
don’t care who you are; if you’re not putting<br />
something into my club, you should be paying<br />
in.”<br />
And with that, I bid you farewell.
SUPPORTERS’ NOTES<br />
ALL ABOARD FOR OCHILVIEW THIS SATURDAY<br />
The cost for the bus to <strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> will be the £7 for adults and £5 for under 16s.<br />

<strong>Stenhousemuir</strong> – Clarkston – 12.30pm, Mount Florida – 12.45pm and High Street 1pm.<br />
Tickets will be on sale from the Shop and Graeme Shields (in the concourse before the<br />
exit stairs). It would be great to see so many people on the bus again.<br />
Let’s get right behind the Spiders with as<br />
many as possible on the bus on Saturday.<br />

Another great save from Muir denies Murray as is shot was heading for the top<br />

Arbroath Highlights<br />
The long friendship between <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> FC and Middlesex Wanderers AFC will be<br />
renewed this weekend when we welcome them to Hampden on their 2015 Glasgow<br />
Tour.<br />
When the Richmond Town Association F.C., which had developed from the Old<br />
Boys team of the British School in Richmond, Surrey, failed financially after undertaking<br />
a tour of France, two members, brothers Bob and Horace Alaway, formed a successor<br />
club, Richmond Town Wanderers, in 1905 with the initial intention of a farewell tour.<br />
However, the club flourished, pursuing its mission of spreading football to countries<br />
where it was less developed than in England. By 1912, it had affiliated to the Middlesex<br />
County Football Association, adopted the name Middlesex Wanderers, and had begun<br />
to restrict membership of its touring teams to players with county representative<br />
honours or better. The club's constitution set out its remit as:<br />
To promote a good fellowship among football clubs and other sporting<br />
organisations throughout the world.<br />
To send teams of British footballers on tours abroad.<br />
To play occasional football games in the British Isles and such other games as the<br />
Executive Committee may approve. [3]<br />
Many former <strong>Queen’s</strong> <strong>Park</strong> players have benefited from the Wanderers tours and we<br />
are delighted to be able to play host to their tour. Wanderers will kick off their tour<br />
with a challenge match against a Dundee United side at Lesser Hampden with a 10:30<br />
am kick off.<br />
On Sunday afternoon the Wanderers will be playing a <strong>Queen’s</strong> Select XI on Sunday (17th<br />
May) at Lesser Hampden with a 3pm kick off.<br />
While the Wanderers tour for 2016, Ghana, may be slightly warmer and further to<br />
travel, we hope they enjoy the Scottish hospitality this weekend.
