Partick Thistle š”š“ Vs Dunfermline Athletic āŖļøā«ļø
ChiThistle replied to jagfox's topic in Main Jags forum
Anyone know if our annual budget is broken down by ādepartmentalā spend? I know a football club isnāt a traditional company, but I imagine things should be broken down into categories like: First team squad Sales/Marketing Media/PR Matchday operations Hospitality/Events Would make it a lot easier to identify or prioritize cuts. -
Partick Thistle š”š“ Vs Dunfermline Athletic āŖļøā«ļø
ChiThistle replied to jagfox's topic in Main Jags forum
Really difficult watch. We might be able to scrape the final playoff spot, but weād never do anything with it. IMO we need to start tinkering with lineups to see if we can generate any kind of offensive spark before the playoffs. -
McCall pre-sacking game excepted, I think Thistle being competitive against the OF is before my time as a fan. What was different? More quality? Less parity? Scottish talent staying local instead of bolting for EPL dreams? Narrower finance gap between the OF and other teams?

Pulling these numbers off ESPN UK⦠In Championship games this season: Falkirk have had 12 different players with at least 1 goal and 13 different players with at least 1 assist. Livi is 12 and 10. Ayr is 13 and 9. For Thistle, itās 9 goal scorers and only 6 different players to register an assist. And one of those is playing at right back these daysā¦.

Would like to register appreciation for Graham today, who ran his socks off (and it looked like maybe his injury near the end was more down to needing a breather?). As others noted, it was a really gritty finish once we got the 2nd, and I think the rest of the team followed the lead set by the captain. Ablade appeared to show his appreciation after the final whistle. For Grahamās sake, I hope he gets the Scotland womenās job and gets to make a clean transition to full-time management.

My wife does.

Merry Christmas all! And especially any other Jags fans in the USA (soon to be the United States of Canada, Greenland, and Panama)!!!

Also, partnerships could lead to extra revenue. If we had a publicized partnership with another club - like a formal partnership - you could maybe see some of them buying Jagzone memberships to follow some loaned out players. Or, like in my case, you just become addicted to some Scottish club and canāt stop. š

Yeah, but that was for another club under the same ownership group. They wanted to own several clubs and move players about, even if the success of one club had to come at the detriment of another. I think this kind of strategic partnership would be different and would be more in line with, āhey, our clubs have similar playing styles so maybe we look at loan deals.ā If our own academy kids arenāt in line for game time, I think it makes sense.

I see that Dundee have added a player from FC Monterrey, āwith whom the club has a strategic partnership.ā Would like to see us develop some formal strategic partnerships.

Airdrieonians ā¦ļøvs Partick Thistle š“š”

First Roberts long kick - 62 minutes. Some kind of record, no? -

Completely in control, but should be 4-0. Crawford and Fitzy both should have done better. Still not really sure what Crawford offers. Night and day from prior games with passing and possession. Stringing together passes, patient attacksā¦..just the finishing that needs to be better. Some slick passes from Graham too. -

No apologies necessary. Have ye seen the Tranche 2 thread?!? š -
Tranche 2 & the Preservation of Power
ChiThistle replied to Jordanhill Jag's topic in Main Jags forum
I have this niggling fear that this documentary will be primarily about this thread, with bits of football sprinkled in. -
I would love to know more about the playersā weight training regimens. How often they are in the gym, what kinds of workouts they do, what kind of diet the trainers have them on, etc. The closest I think we got is when the official site accidentally posted Harry Milneās meals for the week! š

Yeah, I think JJ has some fair criticisms of TJF butā¦..saying members werenāt consulted about Issue A and then complaining members ARE BEING CONSULTED about Issue B seems weird. That kind of thing should only happen between someone and their spouse. -

ChiThistle replied to Jordanhill Jag's topic in Main Jags forum
Apologies for the vagueness, but I recall another club a few years back had a home match against one of the Old Firm teams, and the club had to decide whether to relocate its own supporters to accommodate the opponentās support and the increased revenue from it. They put it to their own supporters and said, āif we donāt move the home support, then we need to make up this much in our own increased attendance.ā I want to say the home support responded positively and the decision was taken to not move the home fans. Iād like to see more of these kinds of fan consultations where outcomes and expectations are more clearly set. -
Not only have we not seriously improved, we havenāt identified or developed any young talent to replace our aging attack. We may be forced to take a kids vs experience approach next season without having any surefire kids.

Partick Thistle š“ š” Vs Ayr United āŖļøā«ļø

Iām concerned about this too, but more so for next season. Graham is still quality but we can and should expect a drop off soon. -

Probably in the minority here, but would consider dropping Chalmers for Lawlessā¦.if for no other reason than to āreunite the gangā and see if they can spark some offense for the first 45. I donāt think Chalmers deserves to be dropped, but Iām wondering if somehow reintroducing Lawless gets more out of Fitzy, who seemed rather sub-par at Hampden. -

The funny thing here isā¦..I think everyone has a valid point. You cant keep selling off shares or assets to keep things funded. Thatās not a plan. But anything you cut could be twice as costly/difficult to get back. That said, we 100% need a ādoomsday scenarioā plan that lists what cuts or changes we would make, in priority order, in an emergency. And it would have to look at everything - womenās team, academy, hospitality, Jagzone - all of it except the menās team. -

I would say most businesses need to increase revenue to survive. -

Going forward, Iād really like to see better visuals for communicating things out to the fans. We seem to present everything in narrative form (you could even see it in the video - single PPT slide filled with text), which isnāt the best way to convey info. Concepts like the difference between PTFC Trust/Jags Trust/TJF and the general change in shareholding could be done with charts. A timeline would be really useful for the āwho said what, when?ā conversation and keeping people honest, especially when it comes to the board claiming to budget for break even and then changing to a planned loss.
