In order to validate a future addition to The Thistle Archive, I'm searching for information about a couple of missing reserve fixtures for season 1980-81. These are Queen's Park (A) and Rangers (H). Dates played not known.
If anyone has programmes for the following matches I'd be grateful if they could PM me so that I can pick up anything by way of reports these programmes might contain. Programmes were not sequentially numbered so it's not possible to tell if they were all issued.
Many thanks.
- Rangers 6/8/1980
- Queen's Park 27/8/1980
- St Mirren 3/9/1980
- St Mirren 13/9/1980
- Rangers 12/1/1981
- Celtic 29/4/1981

Funny you should say that M'lady. My old granny used to wrap some in tissue paper and put them in her clootie dumplings - then forget to tell us she'd done so.

Who's going to start the thread for this clearly winnable game?
My last memory of a game there was when Christie Elliott's last-minute sclaff sent us all into raptures.
That kind of helped to come to terms with the absolute, heart-sinking awfulness of Drumgelloch.... All I'll say is I hope that some people living there can try to work towards a better life and raise their everyday environment above being a sh*t/hell-hole, because no matter how you try to dress it up, that's what it is.
Welcome to the so-called UK in the 21st century.
2-0 Jags.
Cue the bile:
Is that an extract from your Lonely Planet Guide entry Jaggernaut?

I can answer the above.
The Club weren't previously printing 2,000 copies. That's a crazy total for our home gates.
Yesterday's print run was for a figure circa 25% higher than was on sale for the last two seasons it was sold to crowds. It didn't sell out then.
Yesterday's programme was a sell out. The last two available copies I'm told went to Zander MacKenzie, who was the subject of our player interview.
The programme is here to stay for the season ahead.
Advertising has been sold for the season. There is the subscription service available via Curtis Sports which I'm told benefits the Club.
I think I can speak for all associated with the programme when I say that we are really pleased with both sales of and response to the programme. It's been really positive all round.
First one is notoriously difficult to put together and we were working to a really tight schedule which won't be the case moving forward.
Yes there was an element of dipping our toes in the water yesterday. It gives us a really good idea of what works, what doesn't in terms of content etc. and gives us a good yardstick for future print runs.
I'll be making a start on the QP programme later today. We go again (I've always wanted to say that!).
Thanks for the clarification. Looks like the rumours were well off the mark.

No names, no pack drill but I heard a rumour on Saturday only 500 were printed whereas around 2,000 was normal. The club were losing serious money every week because they were not selling so they stopped them. Perhaps a modest print run this week was to test the water again? Makes me wonder what happens to the £100 of everyone who has subscribed to the mail order service if the club decide to withdraw them.

Will there be a subscription service for postal delivery as there was a couple of seasons ago?

Just watched the Falkirk TV coverage of the pen shoot-out. Look at the linesman. Is he not ideally placed to judge whether the keepers come off their line with both feet too soon? Think I'm right in saying he was looking at the taker for every penalty, in fact on one occasion he's half looking round and almost missed the kick.

First sighting of Ben "I'll run into this guy, go down and get a foul" Williamson. Unfortunately the former is too frequent and the latter too seldom. Stay on your feet Ben.

One for veteran Private Eye readers. Today's online Record describe him as an "Ashen-faced Jim Goodwin". who was "showered with Dundee United fan fury"
Reminiscent of Ron Knee of Neasden FC facing the wrath of loyal fans Sid & Doris Bonkers. Just a tad surprised that Jim didn't appear "tight lipped".
It was a mystery to me how Pevsner scored an og every week yet kept his place.

Using the SPFL website and taking no account of experience levels or positions played, only 12 teams out of 32 filled their 9 substitute places yesterday. Clyde managed only 3, Stenhousemuir and Stranraer managed 4 and 5 teams including Thistle filled 5. The other 4 were Bonnyrigg Rose, Cowdenbeath, Forfar and Morton. We know in Thistle's case only 3 were outfielders. Even allowing for McMillan and Robinson being injured the squad looks worryingly lacking in numbers. A lot of faith may have to be put in the youngsters.

Please explain.

A cub?

Thistle have discovered in the past that signing players from the lower divisions isn't as straight forward as it might seem. Part-time players often can't afford to give up steady well-paid jobs outside football and go full-time unless the club is prepared to pay over the odds to make it attractive to the player. Harry Milne is a rare exception recently. Ironically when Thistle were part-time (or a mixture of full-time/part-time) it was easier. A hidden cost of being ambitious?

Paine, Hegarty, Narey, Milne and Bannon must be coming to the end of theirs.

There's no indication the cover price was increased. The prog says 1 shilling.

Curious about a 1968-69 programme I recently came across.
Inside the normal PT programme there is a 20-page "Football League Review" (Vol 3 No 35). Properly stapled in - presumably by the printers. Brief research on the internet suggests this weekly magazine was produced by the FA (not the SFA) and as well as being sold (1 /-), supplies were distributed to clubs to coincide with their next home match for insertion into their programmes. Printers must have loved this (not)!
Quite why the FA would want to flog their magazine in Scotland escapes me. There is no Scottish content in the magazine. Can any collectors with programmes of this vintage tell me if this was common practice for Thistle/other clubs? Could it have been a one-off experiment?

Three shillings? That's outrageous. Ah'm no goin' back!
I think the state of the floodlights should be added to the log list of "things to do". IMO they used to be excellent but games on TV are exposing the fact that much of the centre of the park is increasingly darker than the two 18 yard boxes. I wonder how many bulbs are actually working. Are they all working but poorly positioned? Our away televised matches have shown some clubs have lights that are far brighter - and evenly so.
Related to wider issues about energy costs, why is it not possible to start games in all but the deepest midwinter at 2.00 pm? Most of them could finish without the need for the lights to be used at all (or at least only for the second half). This would need to be with the agreement of the visiting club of course. Anyone remember the season we used to dim the lights at half time?
This just emphasises the size of the task facing whoever is running the club. All about priorities I suppose.
