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 />

Let’s get right behind the Spiders with as<br />

many as possible on the bus on Saturday.<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.
