Support
The Spiders' support is known for being vociferous, especially during away games, where the loyal support gets behind their team, draw, lose or draw. For a relatively 'small' club, the fans take impressively strong numbers on their travels, usually more to local games (see Rivals section). Some of the Spiders' support call themselves the "Irn Bru Firm" and the Spangle Army currently share an enjoyable relationship with supporters of German club SG Wattenscheid 09. This friendship resulted in Queen's spending their pre-season in the small borough, which is a part of Bochum, for three consecutive years, in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
