Intermission: All I Want For Christmas Is A Queen's Park Away Kit

Apologies for the delay - now back to the events of Saturday, March 31.

Johnstone was our final Wimpy that day, as next we headed to Hampden for Queen's Park against Stenhousemuir in the Scottish League Division Three.

I'm no football expert - check out a match report here - but the atmosphere was something special. Inside Hampden's giant bowl were, as usual for Queen's Park, just 600 or so Spiders and Warriors supporters (check out that sporting knowledge) giving it their all despite the 50,000-plus empty seats. Queen's Park emerged triumphant, and we headed for the club shop.

And from there came the official Wimpy Crawl clothing - Queen's Park away shirts, in the garish orange and blue colours of sponsors Irn Bru. You can't get much more Scottish than that.

An aside - last time we went to Scotland (see the first post) we went to Peterhead's home game against Ayr. It finished 2-2. This weekend, strangely, Peterhead also hosted Ayr - and the game again finished 2-2. Coincidence?
