Out of curiosity, would that apply if we sink to bottom place and start looking like we might stay there?
Before anybody wets their knickers, the question is just out of curiosity!
If we had lost all our games so far, yes i'd agree with some of the calls for change but we've not, we have beaten top of the league by 5 goals at home, broke our hoodoo at dens, but we have also lost games we should have won.
Look at who is in this league this year who have bigger budjets and expectations than us
Dundee
Livi
Falkirk
Morton
Accies
Thats 5 out of 10 that are expected to be challenging, add to that Ross Countys exceptional start (with a settled squad and manager) and we are probably where we should be, we are a mid table club these days after years of financial mismanagement and decline, anytthing above 5th is a huge bonus with the squad, its age and inexperience of the management team

He's been in the job less than half a full season FFS, by all accounts we have at times played some great football, its inconsistency thats our downfall and thats what you get with a young squad which is all we can afford. He needs 18 months before this topic comes up.
We are starting to sound like glory hunters from the other dark sides of the city

My college lecturer at Stow College a mr Joe Kerr, also had a Mr Mann (1st name tony) there, at my 1st job at rolls, we had a Peter Ness, who's clock card red P.ness and a old guy called Hugh Bonner, who was called huge due to his surname

Yesterday I paid the deposit (tuition fee, accommodation, insurance, Season ticket) at a bank. The remaining thing is to improve my English and Russian.
Fixed it for you

You should have asked my advice on this...Vax are and have always been a poor relation in the Vacuum trade...Hoover and Dyson have always outsold them as Vax have always had design faults, my old work used to manufacture parts for all the big hoover companies and Vax's designs were always in a word....ABYSMAL!!!!
Yours sincerely

Used to be a hoover specialist myself,, plan to re-enter the trade for the heaton park triple nighter

Chico Fan -is it not up to the Club to try and a)entice these people back and
ensure we have regular contact with them even if they cant make that many games -I fall into the category of part time supporter for my other team RCD Espanyol and yes I travel over for -but not exclusively "the big games" thats life ,people lead busy lives -it doesnt stop them being Jags Fans just the same as not going to every game doesnt stop me being an Espanyol Fan ,we need to ensure we have them as part of the Thistle Family no matter how little or often they come to the games.
At the What a Sensation night an old guy of 94 travelled up from down South to attend he makes very few games these days -is he not a "real" Jags Fan.
The Club needs to accept that Football as a "day out" needs to be improved otherwise people wont come.
all the best

Spot on post JJ, in this day and age where lets be honest for most families every penny counts, spending a decent amount of a weekly wage on 90 minutes of little excitement in poor surroundings in poor weather with not so great catering and not to mention police or stewards asking you to sit down/ shut up/ don't sing that song/ etc etc can we really wonder why folk spend there money else where, yes we are better value for money for families that any other club, but its still not value for money if its not enjoyable (especially for the kids), i've had some great days at firhill in the past even when weve been beat due to the atmosphere, the patter and the laughs we used to have.... we seem to have lost that, but so has football in general, whats the answer if i knew beatie and co would have been told already so we could turn it around, part of the reason we're on our arse is because scottish football is also on its arse...... grim days ahead as i can't see the corner being turned by us or any other club in the next few years. Saying that i canny wait to get back at xmas to see the games, moan about the ground, laugh at some of the comments and scald myself on a bovril, absence soes make the heart grow fonder, but i dont have to justify the outlay every 2nd week.

Reterrace the bing and put a roof on it. Atmosphere problems solved in an instant.
We have a kids zone, lets have an adults zone, where you can swear, stand up, have a fly puff all whilst slighly pished, that zone will only sell pie's bovrils and quenchy cups, and a wee gadgie can be employed to sell macaroon bars and chewing gum round that zone, charge a quid extra to get in and everyones a winner
-
The matchday experience at almost all grounds has gone as football like society has become so sterilized its pish, don't shout or swear or stand up or smoke etc etc... this is the same for most pubs too. We as a society are becoming robots we are fast losing our characters and who made us what we are

Does anybody have any information on how St Mirren fans have taken to their new stadium (capacity 8,023)? It looks like one of those bog-standard 4-lego stands with big gaps at the corners which suck any atmosphere out of the ground.
Incidentally, they've still never filled it, even against the ugly *ucklings.
We should build an 8,000 "bowl" instead of the standard 4 sided lego built, with retail units under it like they did with Viking over here (althought thiers is 16,000 capacity)
-
Iwas thinking we would have to move.
I'm agreeing and giving justification to your answer, we will get more for the ground in 1 sell than bit by bit which will end up happening.
We either keep where we are and fix what we have (which we can't afford and its way too big for us) or we sell up and move
-
Why not?If our board dont come up with some creative ideas to make up for the shortfall.We might be told the only option is to sell Firhill.
And who really wants to buy a narrow L¨shaped piece of land with minimul car parking and whos business would be disrupted every 2nd weekend

or the "SPL chaged the rules after we built it" stand

Ask for volunteers every one is given a free ticket for the next game.

There was a theory expressed here the last time this happened that the SFL just swap us and ICT in the fixture computer and the result is that we get this idiotic "derby"fixture.
I wouldn't put it past them!
The SFL have a computer!!! and even more surprising they have someone that can work it

As an EK resident I'll say no thanks. There's enough idiots in this town already
Another 50 or so won't make much of a difference

Norgethistle. He lives in Stavanger, so, if he can't fully translate it himself, he'll know a man who can.
Edit: Beaten to it!!

The host is looking for a team to support and the other guy mentions the jags and how the manager is a character who loves his football, cigars etc proper character, he's not taking the piss at all the bit about patrick partick is more so they can pronounce it also also says he told one of the player that he was as useless as a pigeon, and pulled out out from his inner pocket in his jacket.

Well maybe i stand to be corrected tomorrow
Just Like 10 Years Ago ...
