Fawlty Towers

Is this today's (Friday's) Daily Record as I am looking at Soccer Shorts on page 66 and there is nothing about Thistle in it?

It appears that ICT did not know the rules either, the whole things just seems like FIFA/UEFA making rules for the sake of it. What difference does it make if a player is 23 in the season when he moves clubs - how does one team not receiving compensation make football better

Is there a formula for deciding on the level of compensation or is it decided by tribunal?

Greaves have extended the deadline for using the £5 discount voucher in the season ticket book to 14th September.

Some information on opportunities to buy season tickets along with an extension to the period that the £5 discount is valid for: http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/july_2010/season_ticket_update

Judging by his comments after the game the manager hopes to make a couple of signings next week, probably after the Dumbarton friendly I would imagine: http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/july_2010/ian_mccall_on_yesterdays_friendly_win

Nice to win but the main thing is players getting match fitness and avoiding injuries. Although he has been told he can leave Boyle is really the only natural left sided fullback at the moment so I was pleased to read that he played a role in the third goal - how was his general play apart from that?

Although you would not think it was summer at the moment there are a number of special summer offers on easyfundraising that may be of interest to people: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/home/summer-sales/

The total now sits at £120.55 as of 01/07/10 - thanks for your efforts

Just back from Firhill with my season ticket and home top. Arrived at about 10.45 and the players were just boarding the bus, went through to the Aitken Suite and collected my ticket then to the club shop to purchase the new top. Even at that early time it was quite busy with people getting their tickets and buying tops. In terms of the season tickets these are the discount vouchers: £5 off home top (valid to 31/07/10 so get in quick) 10% off all Puma Products in October 10% off all PTFC leisure & training wear (offer ends 30/11/10) Mystery Greaves Voucher -TBA 15% off Apex Hotel stay in London, Edinburgh & Dundee if booked 28 days in advance (valid until May 2011). Citroen Glasgow - MOT for £19.99, Service & MOT for £69.99 Glasgow Warriors - Free entry to 1872 Cup match versus Edinburgh (must apply for ticket by 31st October). Caulders - Free cup of coffee or tea (valid until 30th May 2011), 10% off plants (until 30th May 2011) & 10% off real Christmas tree (December 2010). For anyone who was unsure about the top - it really is excellent! The red is red not orangey as some have worried about and I think it will be a big seller.

I will be popping in to pick up my season ticket and buy the new top.

I like it , the shorts & socks don't really bother me as I only ever buy the top and if the team are winning then they could be wearing a suit of armour for all I care. Had a look on the Greaves site and some new training tops are on sale and they look very smart (in my opinion). http://www.greavessports.com/partick-thistle-b503#cat3

Bump!

Not long to wait until we see what it looks like: http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/july_2010/new_home_kit_officially_launched_tomorrow

It seems to me looking at what is taking place across the division that all of the clubs are taking a broadly similar approach - small squad of recognised first team players to be supplemented by youth players. There has been some negativity about our squad but I think that is based on what is most fresh in people's minds which is the second half of the season. However if we cast our minds back to the first half of the season we were playing well most weeks and scoring was not too much of a problem so we need to replicate that and then hope that we avoid the loss of form that most of the squad suffered after Christmas.

The total is now £119.58 as of 24/06/10, this means that in the week since the last update 252 searches have been made which benefit the Trust. Once again we would like to thank everyone who uses this facility to support the Trust and encourage others to give it a try - it doesn't cost you anything and the Trust benefits

With the "summer" here there are a number of offers with easyfundraising for you to take advantage of whilst helping to support the Trust: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/home/summer-sales/ There is also the start of this month's competition: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/free-competition-uk/2010-07-hotels.com/

Another £1.18 has been raised which takes the total to £118.32 as of 17/06/10 - thanks and keep up the good work

Still time to make purchases through easyfundraising and get yourself entered in June's competition with a 32" inch flatscreen TV worth £800 up for grabs (plus you help raise funds for the Trust).

A total of £1.75 was raised during the last week so we are now sitting at £117.14 as of 10/06/10 - a great effort and is much appreciated

Just over a week until Fathers' Day so you better get that gift soon!

As of 03/06/10 the total is £115.39 - a total of £1.50 was raised during the week since the last update so if we can keep up that level the Trust would benefit to the tune of £78 per year. Although this doesn't sound like a huge amount it does help us with running costs so that the money we raise through other ventures can be directed to things like community initiatives. Thanks for your continued support

Easyfundraising has added some specific Fathers' Day offers: http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/home/fathers_day/

Fathers' Day is 2 weeks today so if you are planning on buying a gift you can also help raise funds for the Trust at the same time by purchasing it through easyfundraising - thanks for your support, it really is appreciated http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/
