Palmerston is the venue for our league one encounter with Alloa this weekend. The match will have a later kick off due to BBC Alba televising it live.
We last faced each other on the opening day of the league season back in August when we fought out a goal-less draw. But both go into this game on the back of good wins, Alloa were five-nil winners over Annan last weekend while Pharrell Willis scored the only goal of the game in our victory over Montrose.
The Wasps who have yet to lose on the road, currently sit joint top of the table on 20 points after 12 games along with leaders Cove Rangers, three points better off than us.
Ahead of the match tomorrow, Manager Peter Murphy said “We had mixed feelings last week. The players gave everything for the club, but we just let ourselves down slightly by not managing the game well in the last ten minutes when playing against nine men. That being said, the most important thing was to pick up three points and we were happy to do that.
There will be plenty of ups and downs throughout the season so we need to stick together, and we will have more positive results.
This week we have another later kick off under the lights. The visitors, Alloa will come full of confidence after their convincing win over Annan. We have to have the same belief in our abilities to go out and build on the win over Montrose, trying to build some momentum in such a tight league.
Enjoy the game and keep backing the team”.

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).

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 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.
