Club statement – Graeme Shields

QUEEN’S PARK FC would like to place on record the club’s thanks and appreciation to Graeme Shields who has stood down from his role as President with immediate effect.

Mr Shields has also resigned his position on the club committee.

Upon departure Graeme said: “I have taken this decision after much deliberation, particularly having experienced an increased level of personal and online abuse towards myself and others associated with the club in recent months.

“Having overseen the successful completion of our safety certificate at The city Stadium and the SFA annual club licencing audit, the time is now right to step away.

“I wish Sean Crighton and all the players and staff at the club every success this season.”

The club’s committee and staff will now work together to manage the club following Graeme’s departure.

No further comment will be made at this time.
