  1. Tried sending email to fundraising, chair, treasurer & secretary @ Jags Trust. All four bounced back.
  2. Thanks AJ & MP. I have only asked here for anyone from Jags Trust to contact me. Will contact them now, thanks Fearchar.
  3. Like a season ticket but you add games to it as you want. It was available at the start of the season for £40, pre-loaded with two games (Kilmarnock & Celtic I think). Don't know if you can get one now. Might be worth contacting the club.
  4. Thanks erty13. Glad it is got off to a strong start but please don't think you have to pledge a large amount. In my communication with the vendor I asked whether he would be prepared to remove the medal from auction and, if so, would he be expecting us the raise £1950. As the vendor is keen to run the auction, we are committed to nothing. It is out of our hands at the moment anyway.
  5. Are you reserving a paper ticket or adding it to a smart card (Fan Card)? Just added game to my smart card and it was £20.
  6. If this medal does come home to Firhill, we should go out to celebrate.
  7. Well, that's great belfastjag. By no means certain that this is a goer yet but that's a serious pledge. I'll step up too and match it. Thank you. Don't know if there is a target yet but it's £200 closer now.
  8. Have received a reply from the ebay vendor. The auction will, at the moment, remain active. While expressing empathy for our situation he basically believes he can get a lot more than the starting price. However, he's a business man so he will keep his options open. He has admitted that selling to us has benefits because ebay will want their share of the sale price. I have emailed back with more information at his request and we are discussing possible timescale. The club are keen for the medal to be on display at the club and are discussing the matter internally. No word from the Jags Trust. Don't know about anybody else but I feel that as we have all worked hard to raise £2100 for Archie, it would be crazy for the club to pay out a similar sum for a medal. I would favour a further fundraising effort by ourselves possibly backed up by the club. Any views?
  9. Thanks l-i-b. I'll put you in the No25 slot Will. Can't get laster than that!

  11. Well, not a great time of year for this to come up. Not wishing to stand on anyone's toes on this but I have, this morning, contacted the seller. I said that there may be an attempt to secure the medal for the club. I have asked whether he would be willing to remove the medal from auction and give more time for a club related purchase to be instigated. I have also asked him to set the price at £1950. I await the response. I have also informed the club of this action. I know nothing of the workings of the Jags Trust. Happy to pass on details of my communication if someone PMs me. It's no chore for me to collect money for this but is there willingness from you guys? Let's have some feedback. Cheers.
  12. We now have 14/25ths of a competition. It's looking good. Please, no more payments until confirmed. Thanks guys.
  13. My collection has grown somewhat today. Added some nice pieces. The Sunnylaw Jag jagaloon Dick Dastardly east lothian jag jagfox Ladybug Peaty FC chrishammett Jaggernaut sb1876 JAGSMAN1968 Dougie247 Almost half way. Just 13 required.
  14. Get your slippers unpacked Mustapha, you're home now. Very good news.
  15. Great. So, we're up to 8 The Sunnylaw Jag jagaloon Dick Dastardly east lothian jag jagfox Ladybug Peaty FC chrishammett Welcome to the wonderful world of WAT fundraising chrishammett. Who will join them? Remember, if you are a virgin, this will get you into three competitions. A bargain at only three of your earth pounds. Need seventeen more to make it happen.
  16. Let's get buses and hotels booked. Cardiff will be the new Metz.
  17. Bloody Hell I'm having enough trouble getting three quid in for Secovd Last Jag Stavdivg! Once we've raised a grand or so to get up and fix the sign, we could move on to other stadium repairs. Anybody want to pledge a tenner for new toilet seats? However, topcoat, you have hit upon a brilliant idea. Sponsoring Thistle legends. We have just about exhausted the playing squad and we have some terrific threads this season (Jaggernaut's Who Are The Jags Players In This Photo?, The Jukebox Rebel's Stats Watch 2015-16 and Your Favourite Jag Ever And Why by Weebaw1) which remind us of our heritage. Food for thought... (wanders off screen stroking imaginary beard and intoning "Hmmm...").
  18. Genuinely sorry that you are unable to attend games. When the team plays well we get to witness truly great urban performance art. You really don't have to try to convince me of your intentions. It's Thistle, not Partick.
