Here is some information from Kenny including an udate...
Have mentioned in this week's local press that I am publishing a pictorial account of the road to Hampden. The book will also contain a piece on Palmerston itself and is being done in association with Queen of the South. I have obtained some pics from the two games I missed at Peterhead and against Linlithgow.
However the main aim of the book is to include fans stories and memories of the 2007/8 Scottish Cup. I need people to write/e mail asap their recollections and what this year has meant. I need words about Peterhead, Cappielow, McCann's goal, words on players, bus trips the parade, please write on as many topics as you wish. pieces can be a sentence, a paragraph or a page, I don't mind. Your name and home town will be included in the book if a written piece is selected, SO BECOME A PART OF QUEENS HISTORY !! The book will be coffee table type, hardback about 1.5kg in weight to be printed in Singapore and November will be the last deadline, but hopefully before.
If you wish to subscribe in advance let me know and your name will be listed on the last page under Queens initials.
Any queries let me know by e mail or on 07779140923.

If I get no words I cannot do the book.
Finally if anyone has programmes from the games let me know too as I need pics of themyou an update on written responses for the book, I have received just 22 (looking for close to 200) with the longest being more than 1200 words- a magnificent effort that. I have received one anecdote from the Peterhead game and one about Cappielow.
Update June 5th 2008
Just to give you an update on written responses for the book, I have received just 22 (looking for close to 200) with the longest being more than 1200 words- a magnificent effort that. I have received one anecdote from the Peterhead game and one about Cappielow.
I had a nice story about the keepers but nothing so far on the Chairman, the gaffer or other individual players bar the McCann goal. Any stories about Palmerston also welcome as I am including a photo essay on the ground.
Keep spreading the word
Update 11th June
Since I last posted on 4th June, the number of stories has reached almost 50 from as far and wide as Ottawa, Peterhead,Dunblane, Bolton,Nottingham, The Wirral and of course Dumfries. I have written to the supporters clubs (4) for help and things are beginning to move quite nicely. I would encourage you to write though because I promise you a great souvenir and to have your piece included I am sure will be something to look back on in years to come. I will be doing some quotes from the squad as well to get their take on things so that might be another 15 or so anecdotes.
So far nothing on the gaffer, very little on the Chairman and really only one individual piece on Thommo of all the players so bear that in mind.
Many thanks again

Update 13th June
Any stories on the cup run, any stories to go with feature on Palmerston Park, and in particular views/thoughts on players, manager and chairman. I don't think I have received anything about the manager yet. Two great stories on David Rae received today
