Our league one fixtures continue tomorrow when we play host to Airdrieonians. It’s a massive game for both teams so we are hoping for a good backing from the home support within the Palmerston crowd.

It hasn’t been the start to the season that either side would’ve wanted with both teams still searching for their first victory of the league campaign.  Three points separate the sides at the bottom end of the table, with tomorrow’s visitors sitting just above us in nineth place with three points on the board from three draws in their opening five fixtures.

Looking ahead to the game, manager Nicky Clark said “I know it's still early on in the season, but you don't want that gap to become bigger because then it could really start having an effect. It’s four games, zero points, two goals scored and the goals against isn’t good enough either.  It isn’t good enough, it’s as simple as that, but it is where we are and we just need to keep our heads up and get on with it.  It’s Airdrie at home, it’s another one, we'll prepare for, as we always do, and we'll go out and hopefully put in a good performance and get three points.”

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.

Those travelling to the game should be aware that there is roadworks in and around the town may cause some delays. People travelling should check Traffic Scotland website at http://trafficscotland.org/index.aspx for confirmation of any road closures or delays.

Fans should note that these kiosks are cash only.  If you are looking for catering before entering the ground, The Queen of the South 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 be open to both sets of supporters from noon.

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.

The club shop located in the Arena will be open until kick off where you can purchase our club merchandise, half-time draw tickets and the latest edition of the official Queen of the South magazine.

Tomorrow’s match kicks off at 3pm
