As far as I understand (might have been said at TJF AGM) as they still had to pay notice period for McCall etc and Doolan and McDonald were already on payroll there was no saving or increased cost because of sacking decision in short term at least. Archie has now found a new job so presumably is no longer working notice period as garden leave so potential saving there now.

I've just read the story in some of the papers online and SPFL are saying they have paid upfront already for this season so looks like no immediate issue.

Looks like hopefully some incoming players soon according to Kris at bottom of article on official site: “I can assure fans I have been working around the clock over the past two weeks on securing deals with players who want to play for Partick Thistle next season and we will be able to begin announcing some of those this week. The response from Jags fans over the past fortnight or so has been nothing short of remarkable, in particular season ticket sales, which is a huge boost and makes me even more proud to be Partick Thistle manager.”

This was discussed during Q&A last night and due to increased membership and existing members increasing their donation amount there appears to be no issue with fulfilling this commitment.

I don't think so. I think these games are just part of Sky's overall package so their fee goes in to overall prize money pot.

Question for the archivists. I was thinking this on way home last night, is this the longest season we have ever had? Without a break for world cup/winter break etc our first competitive game was on July 9th 2022 and our final game will be on 4th June 2023, almost 11 months.

They switched a game with Cove Rangers in January (I think)

According to rules we are entitled to up to 20% of the capacity (section 29) https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/5364/scottish-cup-rules-for-2019-20.pdf (This was from several years ago but I can't imagine it's changed)

Sevco away, hopefully lots of cash

Any win would take us above them as we have scored more goals

Just been confirmed as actually still being at Ochilview https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/queens-park-fixture-confirmed-for-stenhousemuir/

Looks like our game could be first game at new Lesser Hampden or possibly in main stadium if it's still not ready https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63551173

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but our second game up there on 25th March is at 3pm when Scotland now have game at Hampden at 2pm so almost certain to also be moved.

As far as I can see since big announcement no one from club board or PTFC Trust seems to want to answer any questions or communicate with their so called beneficiaries and seems instead their main tactic is to discredit TJF any way they can to somehow justify their decision.

Has anyone from TJF spoken to Mhairi Black? I don't agree with everything she says or does but she could be a useful ally in this situation. A number of others have been commenting on lack of action by TJF but I personally disagree with that. The next course of action seems to be contacting SFA or going down some sort of legal route and they appear to have been gathering plenty of evidence of lack of communication and engagement by the PTFC Trust with their so called beneficiaries which may come in useful if they pursue action in that direction.

PTFC Trust also now put out their own statement obviously completely independent of the one the club put out http://www.ptfctrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Confirmation-of-Share-Transfer-from-3BC-final.pdf

So what was said on Saturday was clearly untrue then https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/majority-shareholding-transferred-to-ptfc-trust/

Interesting development: https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/club-update/ I'm hoping this means the PTFC Trust are acknowledging TJF have a right to exist and would then at least be prepared to engage with them but we will need to wait and see what happens over next days and weeks.

You mean zonecard, you can still get it but it has a minimum of 1 week, they really need to introduce a daily equivalent

If I remember rightly it was actually one reporter that was banned because he publicly said, after a fine by UEFA for sectarian singing, that Rangers were not actually serious about banning certain songs and one director had said 'The Billy Boys' was one of his favourite songs. The BBC then stopped sending any reporters to Ibrox as a protest. No doubt they have now come to an agreement as the reporter concerned no longer works for the BBC or something similar. UPDATE : Here is a watered down version of original story not actually mentioning what he said: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/bbc-refuse-send-staff-ibrox-6179565

Did we not originally have Danny Lennon on a 3 month loan before signing him permanently?

Gary Mackay scored winning goal against Bulgaria which meant that Ireland won the group
