Glad you can see our point of view. Perhaps we were a little "chancy" but we were merely going on previous experiences at "Meet the Manager" nights where non-members were allowed entry for a donation. It's the self righteousness of the JT board members, two in particular, that irritates me. Had a more reasoned board member been overseeing entry, this whole debacle could have been avoided. But the sheer pig headedness of the individual on the door tonight has made an issue of something that really should have been a formality.

I covered it in my previous post. Who's misreading stuff now?

Look, mate, your obviously the one at the wind up. It wasn't obvious, considering previous "Meet the Manager" nights, organised by the Trust, allowed entry to non-members. If they were so dead set against letting non-members in then you would have thought they would have made it clear in no uncertain terms. But they didn't. The whole approach to the situation was unprofessional and typifies the Jags Trust. Then they would have made extra money, irrelevant of how big the donation was.

Show me where it is stated it is for members-only. The message on the website says: "This event is free for members – and if you are not yet a member feel free to join up on the night!" I've never claimed that it said non-members could make a donation. What I did say is it didn't specify specifically that non-members weren't welcome. There was enough dubiety to think non-members might be welcome and not bluntly refused entry. I'm not even going to answer your other point because you know fine well that my refusal to pay the joining fee is nothing to do with money.

But it also wasn't advertised as a night that non-members couldn't pay a donation at the door.

Exactly.

Sorry but that is rubbish. Where are the "conditions of entry" stated? As I said in my above post, nothing saying non-members were not welcome was ever published. I attended a previous "Meet the Manager" night hosted by the Trust, paid a donation and there was no problem. However, I dealt with a far more reasonable and sensible gentleman in Grieg Forbes that night. If only decent blokes like him were still around, the Trust would perhaps be more appealing to people like me. However, the same cancerous leeches still cling onto any position of authority and sabotage the whole thing, in my opinion, and that is why I will not be joining the Trust any time in the future.

For a start, the event wasn't clearly stated to be a members-only night. If non-members weren't welcome then a simple "members-only" line would have saved a few people, myself included, a wasted trip. What it said was it was free to members and non-members could sign up on the night. Still no statement that it was not open to non-members to attend and pay a donation. The fact they feel they are in the position to reject extra money outwith membership fees is laughable. We were willing to pay a fiver a head for entry plus 30 or 40 quid at the bar. But apparently that isn't enough. Whoever the joker is who claims the Jags can't mean too much to us because we wouldn't part with an extra fiver clearly has his head up his arse. It has bugger all to do with finance. It's about the fact this shower of imbeciles masquerade as a representative supporters body. I would have rather set fire to a tenner than hand it over to that torn-faced hag who, incidentally, should be nowhere near the Trust. Anyway, I hope the fans who were lucky enough to be admitted entry had an enjoyable night and found it informative.

Do they accept Diet Irn Bru tops?

Partick Thistle Football Club; giving a chance to players who can't play anymore and are desperately trying to cling onto their association to football since 2009. Especially given our budget cuts, I'd rather we spent the money, however little it may be, on financing a player's contract. Maxwell was finished as a player last season and, I for one, would be extremely annoyed if he is given another playing contract.

Oh Christ, what have I started...

McMenamin would be a great signing but I doubt we could afford him. The Deuchar rumour appears to be absolute nonsense and, according to a Saintee mate, he has been offered a new contract at St Johnstone. Wouldn't mind having a look at Alan Lithgow. Just not at his baws.

WHA'S EN CHERGE, HERE?
