We’ve all done it. Displaced, or even worse, disposed of something important.
And that’s exactly what’s happened to Scottish Championship club Queen’s Park.
Queen’s Park have admitted an embarrassing mishap during the renovations of the JB McAlpine Pavilion at Lesser Hampden, which resulted in the inadvertent disposal of the club’s cherished donor wall.
The wall, which was previously housed in the bar area of the pavilion, honoured fans and contributors who had supported the club over the years.
However, during the building’s refurbishment, the structure was mistakenly discarded, leaving a gap in the club’s historical record.
Despite significant efforts to retrieve the names and details of all individuals who were commemorated on the wall, the club has acknowledged that some information remains missing.

The Mount Florida-based club went on to state: "New for 2025 will be the creation of a commemorative brick wall, on the exterior of the JB McAlpine Pavilion, to mark the anniversary of 100 years of Lesser Hampden.
"Fans will be able to pay to have their names engraved onto a brick which will be placed onto the exterior wall, as well as receiving a replica brick to take home, along with a commemorative certificate. Everyone entering, leaving or walking past the building will be able to view the bricks.
"If you did have your name on the previous donor wall, we would ask you to get in touch with us by Friday 14th February, 2025 by calling club offices or by emailing donorwall@queensparkfc.co.uk and confirm if you would like a brick for the new wall, and in what format (up to 20 characters are permitted).
"A brick for the wall will be produced at no additional cost to you. If you would also like the addition of a replica brick and commemorative certificate, this will cost £50.
"Further information will be provided in future as to how all other fans may purchase a brick for the wall."
