Yep, Forrest Precision Engineering (FPE) of Springburn - main sponsors of my other team, Petershill.

Didn't Roughie work part-time in Greaves back in the early-mid 70's?

Certainly pleased that Colin Weir has bought the club, rather than the god-awful 'consortium'. I only wish he would just hand over complete control of the club to me rather than bother with this fan ownership malarkey. Democracy doesn't work. A benevolent dictatorship is the way forward.

Jim Oliver, or Jim Bowen?

Luton Town?

AJ, Did you ever get over your local branch of Santander closing down?

I thought Mary Whitehouse was dead.

What an error of judgement it is to blindly trust someone else's judgement....

This "transformational" New City Capital proposal, if the view of Barnsley fans is anything to go by, stinks. I think some people on here have been somewhat seduced by words like "billionaire" and "business consortium". They may be billionaires, but they didn't get to be that well off by pissing their money away on pipe dreams and vanity projects. According to Barnsley fans, they've injected zero money into their club. So if they aren't chasing a dream of Thistle lifting the Scottish Cup and cracking Europe (which would be bizarre, as they have no connection with the club), what are they all about? Nothing good that I can discern.

" .... though he dwelt by the Brokes of Lad .... "

Freeing up capital for the Thistle purchase, no doubt.

Can we change the name of this thread to Christie Elliott (with two t's). It's the least we can do to show our appreciation for his efforts in a Jags shirt this last eight years. I'm sad to see Christie go, and wish him all the best for the future. Gave his all for the cause.

Any thoughts about how the forum could be jazzed up a bit?

Or out of their depth when it comes to doing their jobs properly.
