Are there football clubs that do not purport to be about more than just the success they may achieve on the field. It's just that the "more" part is all Queen's Park have left.

"ludere causa ludendi" - or in English, "to play for the sake of the game" is all you need to know about Queen's Park.

Although if you want to know, or think you know the history of football you must know about Queen's Park.

Yes I know about Queen's Park. In the past I have even written about them and their history in a small website/blog kind of thingy I have. No need for your patronizing attitude.

To play for the sake of playing - just like young lads in a park (shirts for goalposts). Also the reason why no one is watching the lads play.

I doubt that was directed at you, rather at people higher up the thread, unless I read it wrong.

I thouth it may have been directed at me, since I hinted earlier that SI might want to reconsider their stance on Queen's Park's status as a permanently amateur club.

I didn't mean to sound to grumpy. :cool:

It is possible to change their status to professional in the editor so I would imagine that if they do this irl then their status would change accordingly. To test this i swapped them with Motherwell and changed their status in the editor beforehand. Once I started a new game they remained professional.

I don't like to use save editors, so I was thinkin I'd begin a new game after making Queen's Park semi-professional (like they wewre presented in earlier Football Manager games) with the pre-game editor. But would they then remain semi-professional? I decided to go all the way: new rich chairman, no debt and and status: professional.

One can always imagine...
