Remember paying £21 ten years ago at Easter Road for Lambie and Chic's last game.
Last game of the season, wasn't really worth anything. To make matters worse, my wife came, and she doesn't really care. So, £42 for a "friendly", sitting behind the goals, in 2003. On this basis it seems very reasonable.
By the way, Thistle scored a late winner that day, so it was actually worth every penny.

You forum guys are all ancient! I reckon I was at a 2-0 defeat to Aberdeen at Firhill in about 1980 ish? And not long after that, a 2-1 defeat to st Mirren at Fihill where Alan Rough saved a penalty. But this is vague memories and may be well off. Set me up for life though. My daughter's seen Jags winning four out of four and I'm worried that this is poor preparation.

Class performance. I'm in awe.

It's frustrating that, despite everything that's happened in recent years, we are still being priced out by teams who have large unsustainable debts. This is not a criticism of Thistle, but will clubs never learn, and wouldn't a bit of financial fair play regulation be in order?

Apparently not
If Gary Harkins can get 7k a week for playing in the second division then good luck to him. I could almost be a h*n for that. ( I said almost!)

I'd agree with this, not having a dig at anyone as i would imagine there is only so much you can do as the only paid head with a couple of volunteers helping when they can.
But half the battle of surviving as an SPL team is running your business like a professional club, and that is impossible to to do with the infrastrure we have.
look at whats happenned, and whats still to take place: secure trackside/programme sponsors for next season, build the hospitality package and sell bulk packages for tables.
all whilst dealing with player contracts, insurance etc.
added onto that, the day to day running of the office, arranging transport, accomodation and facilities for the squad for pre season.
jesus the list is endless... whilst the signing of big names get all the headlines, we as a fan base, probably take an unhealthy interest in the back office/boardroom goings on at our club (probably because of save the jags, the jags trust rep etc) an interest that very few other fans of other clubs have....
Agree with almost everything. Except that I don't think the interest is unhealthy (well okay, it maybe is for the fans). But look at what's happened at clubs where the fans take less interest.

Look away !
Eh, naw

Catalonian - red and yellow are the region's colours and are on the club's badge.
Jags wannabes. Just like the rest of Spain. And Belgium. And Australian beach lifeguards.

There was a lot of talk of Kris Doolan being sought by other SPL clubs. I wonder what the situation was. If we've beaten other clubs to a player then it must be good sign in terms of being able to compete.

Player of the year voting on main site. No disrespect to the guys on the list, but how Aaron Muirhead can be overlooked for both awards is beyond me. I'd also say that Paul Paton deserves a mention, but I suppose he's more understandable given the he's gone.

Yes Lawless for sure missed him
These five players could go on to be decent players with a future sell on in the next couple of seasons
Only after a league and cup double
-
Who do they think they are?

I'd much rather keep every one of them. On extended contracts.
Yep. And add Lawless to the list.

Heart says O'Donnell as I want as much of last season's team as possible. Head is undecided as McMillan seems a decent replacement. Would be happy with either, or preferably boh.

A view from outside. St. Mirren's average crowd this season was 4389 compared to 4492 last season, a difference of 103 per game, when you factor in the Ross County/Dunfermline games this drops to 41 - we really missed you Sevco!
As an aside our biggest crowd this season (and for 3 out of the last 4) was against Kilmarnock - many of our fans (myself included) just can't be arsed with the hassle & unpleasantness when the OF come to town. I expect to see a higher attendance for the Thistle games compared to Celtic next season.That is genuinely very interesting. The media are so out of touch on this.

No doubt about Beckham's career credentials, although quite unique in that being a winger I don't recall him ever taking on a man and going past him; different attributes, though.
Can't say hand-on-heart that I've ever found any of his interviews anything other than, em, humdrum.
Maybe he'll have more time, now he's retired, to learn some new words.
Agree with this. Apart from as a footballer, he was totally dull.
I see Billy Dodds has made a predictable career assessment... "For me he wasn't up to the same level as the true greats." Why the need? It's as if by being negative these "experts" think they're seeing "beyond the celebrity" where in fact they're doing the complete opposite
-
Anyone else think that the Herald article is very pro Thistle? Just thought I'd note it, given that we're all very quick to jump on articles which are the opposite.
-
On this, anyone remember a Thistle team poster in the 1980s or 90s, with a big advert along the bottom for some Rangers promotion? Made me proper angry.
-
In my first 25 years of watching Thistle, from 1986 to 2011, Lambie was the manager for roughly half of the seasons. I can honestly say that Lambie's worst season was probably better than the best season without him.
-
No question, Waddle was talking rubbish. Beckham would be in all time top 20 in Premiership in my opinion. Just because he wasn't Messi or Maradona doesn't mean he wasn't a top player. Unfortunately the celebrity issue seems to get in the way of people's judgement.

Speaking of which, who thinks the SPL will accept the SFL counter-offer to the restructuring? I can't see it myself, but the SFL have played it well I think.
I had't heard of a counter offer. What's the story?
-
Hardie on Off the Ball described Alan Archibald as his best friend in football. Might be significant?
-
Good news. Both played a big part, and both young and improving. 2 years?
-
The SPL clubs have already voted, The SFL will vote next week. On monday we become an SPL club. Are we then the only club of the 42 that dosn't get a vote.
There's only 41 clubs. Zombies don't vote

He'll forever be remembered for a certain free kick against Ayr United, as far as I'm concerned.
