We are back at Palmerston tomorrow as we host Peterhead in league one.
Tomorrow’s opponents won league two last year and like ourselves have a win and defeat in the league so far. Both sides have three points from the opening fixtures, but the visitors sit third in the table ahead of us on goal-difference.
Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “We go into the game on the back of a couple of disappointing performances so we all have a point to prove. Newly promoted to league one, Peterhead will also be out to prove themselves. They're strong and have good forward going players and good defenders. They like to play a bit of football, are physical and can mix it up, so they’ll come to us and make it tough. We need to make sure that we're prepared and the players that are available go out and acquit themselves.”

Car parking will be available to all spectators within the Queen of the South Arena car park on a first come first served basis.
Supporters’ buses/minibuses should drop off their passengers in Terregles St/King Street and thereafter park on College Mains road just off the roundabout with the A76 on the town bypass (adjacent to Curry’s/PC World, as the other side at Aldi is the access road to the ambulance depot and is extremely busy). Pick up should be the same location as drop off.
Supporters’ buses including minibuses will not be allowed to park in the Arena car park.
Those travelling to the game should be aware that there are roadworks in and around the town which are likely to cause some delays. People travelling should check Traffic Scotland website at http://trafficscotland.org/index.aspx for confirmation of any road closures or delays.
The catering outlets within the supporter’s areas of the ground will be open for use. Fans should note that these kiosks are cash only. If you are looking for catering before entering the ground, The Snaq café within the Arena will be open and will have a range of food/snacks on offer and will accept card. The lounge bar under the Main stand will also be open to both sets of supporters’ pre-match. We do have a hospitality package available for £45 per head which includes a match day ticket and a pre-match curry and a bottle of beer. Contact [email protected] or telephone 01387 254853 to book a space.
For safety reasons, QOS have adopted a robust and thorough search policy for spectators entering the ground to ensure that ground rules and regulations are strictly adhered to, especially in relation to pyrotechnic devices and controlled containers. We would like to remind supporters that letting off smoke devices/ pyrotechnics is a criminal offence, and anyone found doing so will be referred to Police Scotland. Not only is it against the law, it is also extremely dangerous and a health hazard to other spectators. All bags will be searched and spectators presenting themselves for entry may also be subject to search. Spectators who refuse to be searched by stewards will be denied entry to the ground.
Palmerston Park is a non-smoking venue; this includes e cigarettes and other such devices. Stewards are empowered to eject spectators who disobey these rules. No persons will be admitted to the ground who are deemed to be under the influence of alcohol.
With hot weather forecast, parents are advised to bring cartons of juice for the kids as no bottles or cans will be permitted through the gates.
The club shop located in the Arena will be open until kick off where you can purchase our club merchandise. Including half-time draw tickets.
Tomorrow’s match kicks off at 3 pm.
