The guy behind the TFE group was previously behind a shambolic takeover at Stirling Albion, runs a group which claims to speak for all fans in Scotland and has had no apparent connection with Thistle until this opportunity came about. To me that suggests TFE is more to do with the ego of a wannabe than anything. At least if a consortium of billionaires wants to buy a 'fixer-upper' and sell it at a profit later, the club will then be improved in some ways. Letting people with either poor or no records of running a club take over will most likely see us becoming part time at best.

I'll try again.
I don't think Jacqui Low is the right person to be leading the club. She doesn't seem to know how to run a football club, or understand that it's not like running any other business. In addition, she appears to moving in certain political circles and trying to attract a certain type of person to the club under the auspices of a 'business club' when she should be concentrating on getting results on the pitch. If we don't start improving soon and getting results we'll be back in the 2nd division, struggling for cash, and if one follows a particularly pessimistic projection we could even be looking at another Save The Jags campaign. The best way to attract sponsorship money (other than chance encounters with eccentric millionaire art collectors) is by being a success on the pitch.

I assume you mean Ross Quaile, the commercial manager. With all our on-field woes I've not really been keeping up with off-field matters. In what way has he been failing to attract sponsorship?
'Assume' being the operative, as I made no comment on him directly.

Reading between the spaces and politicing, Bell is frustrated by the part the board are playing in the shambles our club is becoming. There might be a political motive behind the post but Bell isn't the first fan to get angry about the decision making of the clubs chair who has zero footballing background.
My original post was that ms low over ruled her trusted football aide mr britton, Bell shares the fruatration?
Thank you! At least somebody managed to look past the swearing and mentions of political parties and actually read the ******* post.
PS, it's not actually politically motived, it's motivated by the fact I believe her to be ******* useless.

And then when posters criticise him for it he is lashing out. Better making your point simply and directly rather than trying to flower it with your own agenda.
So it's OK for people to abuse me directly? folk attack me and call me an idiot, and say my opinion doesn't matter? Good to know, thanks.

its stated aims are to allow business people to network though, it says nothing about attracting sponsorship. that's what the club's business manager is supposed to do.

What a ridiculous post , ill informed etc , clubs like us rely on business’ partly to do with sponsorship, corporate hospitality etc and are an integral part of running any football club providing much needed funds. Jacqui Lowe only became chairwoman about 6 months ago and unless she’s been playing Centre half not sure how’s she’s to blame ?
By the way , the business club started at least 20 years ago !!
Your post is crass at best regarding political persuasions, we’re a football club not a platform for what politics we believe in .
She's appointed a manager who's got one point from a possible 18.
But thanks for informing me about how we rely on sponsorship to exist. I was under the impression that prize money and tickets paid for running clubs, and success on the pitch was likely to increase sponsorship income. I now know that having a failed tory candidate speaking to entrepreneurs is how we become the next Chelsea.

footballing decision taken by a business person?
I still say Jacqui Low is to blame for the whole debacle, because of the way she's trying to run the club. A failed Tory candidate and a business-person who's probably never done a day's work in her life and who's introduced this 'business club' thing to Firhill. **** any business except for Partick Thistle FC! The only thing she should be worrying about is making the club/company a success, and pandering to a crowd of tory business-types who want to 'network'. How about improving the matchday experience for the average fan? Ideally by ******* off and letting somebody who knows what they're doing run the club and appoint a manager who can actually win a game.
No apologies to any tory business types offended by that statement. You're part of the problem.

Let’s bring drums flares and megaphones and go European about it to make more noise
There's no real need for that. The north stand has an amphitheatre-type effect which amplifies the noise from even a small crowd. The year we won the 1st division the players all commented on how the noise really benefited them and how it was like a twelfth man. Since then the northy's been noticeably quiet most games. **** knows we could do with a twelfth man most games. But then, with our squad as it is at the moment, it might be more like a ninth man.
But it should be noted that I was being facetious in my first post.
The real problem is having a Tory chairman.

The North Stand for not singing enough.

Don't see why i should be dropped, tbh.

I'm going to boycott the away game at Celtic Park in support of the Green Brigade.
WHO'S WITH ME?!
-
we're mid table, and i'm more than happy with that.
-
not specific enough. how is something hypothetically happening twice, five months apart 'continuously'?If they do it for this game, it's pretty safe to say they will try and do it again for the game in March. Should we draw Rangers in the cup, I'd imagine it will happen then as well.
-
how is being moved once 'continuous'? be very specific with your answer.we are continuously shifted
-
QFT eh?When asked previously about ST holders moving from the JHS to the north stand you said: I intend to.
You also said in July last year...
i plan on moving over, but i doubt it'll be in place on saturday, as the club will want to make as many seats available to visiting (read: Celtic) fans as possible.
i have sat in the north stand occasionally, but mainly i sit with my pals in the JH who don't want to move over.

a smoke bomb isn't likely to start any fires, as they don't produce a flame, whereas a flare does, and depending on type can burn at over a thousand degrees. that's a fire hazard.I must have imagined killie fans letting off a smoke bomb 2 weeks ago then.
-
how do you mean?What made you change your mind about moving to the North Stand?
-
is that what i said? must have been, aye.Ok, so only OF fans are allowed to protest?
again, that must be what i said, so aye.Anyone who protests is automatically an OF fan?
yes well it's notSorry, but it's your kind of logic
moot point, as explained above.that sounds like an OF fan to me.
paranoia? seeing secret celtic fans everywhere? go back to Rangers Media!"If he's not one of us, he must be one of them".
well, i go to watch them, clap, shout things, etc. nothing out of the ordinary. why do you ask?Can I ask what you do, personally, to back the team every week?
name names.I'm willing to bet that some of the people who are criticising the fans for protesting are the same ones who were STILL moaning at the players from the JH stand when we were 3-0 up in games last season. Perfectly audible on some of the highlights.
correct. i am not an ex-rangers fan who sits in the north stand.Are you not an ex rangers fan, who sits in the North Stand?
-
by the amount of whinging going on, and 'protest' banners, i was beginning to think some of the support WERE actually OF fans. if some 'North Stand fans' are to be believed then they're the ones who should get all the credit for Thistle being in the top flight again, so how about they stfu about having to move for one game and just concentrate on getting behind the team?
-
i think some people should try and keep it in mind that we're not really Barcelona, we're Partick Thistle, and we aren't going to win every game. perhaps the success last season just went to people's heads a little too much, but a reality check is long overdue. we've been playing good football for the past few years, and have developed a squad that play well together, and a system they're all used to. drastic changes to that now will only have adverse effects.

aye, that Full Moon's fairly brought out the best in some people round here.
-
the Celtic supporters will all start leaving circa 80mins anyway, distraught that we're beating them 2-0
-
the simple solution to this problem is just to come out in support of the Poppy Appeal or something, and then the green brigade will 'bhoycott' Firhill and we won't have to deal with them at all.
