Our KDM Evolution Trophy matches continue tomorrow when we welcome Clyde to Palmerston for the first of our home games in the competition.

Both sides go into the game on the back of draws in their respective leagues, as we fought out a goalless draw at Stenhousemuir on Saturday, The Bully Wee came from behind to take a point with a one all draw at Stranraer. The draw leaves them 7th in league two on two points, with two draws and two defeats from their opening four league matches.

The teams have made a similar start to the KDM Trophy, tomorrow’s opponents lost 3-1 at home to Celtic B in their first game, while it was the same scoreline as we were beaten by East Kilbride at K Park.

Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “We picked up a good point at Stenhousemuir on Saturday but we felt that we can play better. This is an extra game that we don’t need but it’s a competitive match that we have to play so we will go out and compete to the best of our ability. We will look at who is available and we might make changes and bring in a couple of the young players again. Clyde are a division below but we have faced teams from league two already this season and we found it very difficult. I have no doubt that they will be up for the game and will dig in and make it tough.”

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 lounge bar under the Thompson’s Solicitors stand will also be open to both sets of supporters prior to kick off.

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. No bottles or cans will be permitted through the gates, so anyone bring juice should bring cartons. 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.
