Pollokshields Primary School backing The Spiders against Airdrieonians

Midfielder Jack Turner made the trip to Pollokshields this week to thank them for their support and hand over the Match Tickets, Black and White scarves and T-shirts with the school also accepting transport to and from the game which has generously been provided by Queen’s Park partner McDades Coaches.

Another partner company of Scotland’s oldest football club, Buck’s Bar Southside, is also backing Pollokshields Primary to back Queen’s Park by providing vouchers to all the children that come along from the school to get a drink and snack at Hampden at half-time.

Jack, who also took part in a Question-and-Answer session at the school, said: “It was great to be invited to Pollokshields and support the ‘Tickets for Schools’ initiative. I could tell that the pupils are excited about coming along to watch our game against Airdrie and I have asked them to make a lot of noise to cheer us on.

“The ‘Tickets for Schools’ programme is a great way for the club to grow their fanbase.”

Kieran Koszary, Head of Commercial at Queen’s Park added: “It is great when pupils, teachers, schools, players and sponsors, like McDades Coaches and Buck’s Bar Southside, all come together for this initiative. The players have played an active role all season and I know that they appreciate the backing they get in return.”

Buck’s Bar owner Michael Bergson said: “We already support Queen’s Park with their Player of the Month however we also wanted to do something for the local community. Helping with the visit of Pollokshields Primary to Hampden is a fantastic way to do that.

“I hope the club and the pupils enjoy a great game on Friday.”
