The Main Stand

My mate Paul now runs The Doublet and really wants to turn it into a very Partick Thistle friendly pub. I've given him a few pointers as how to go about it. Might take a wee while to establish. He doesn't get to games anymore. Anyhow, if you're in that neck of the woods pre or post match, pop in. He'd be happy to hear ideas. He's the Canadian guy, by the way. Used to front a band called Vera Cruise, who had a single out a few years back called "The Last Time Partick Thistle Won". Good guy!

How long has he signed for? I thought we had him on a 1 or 2 year deal. Anybody know?

Was talking to an old pal tonight when he informed me that he was keen to get his kid to support Thistle before he got swayed to join the "dark side". The wee guys aunts and uncles all support Rangers and Celtic and my mate reckons it's only a matter of time before they buy him an old firm strip. Thing is, my mate doesn't have much cash but he's really keen to get the wee man a Jags top. The wee guy is 7. So, i was wandering if any of you guys out there have a home top that one of your kids may have grown out of that you'd maybe like to donate to a future Jag. If so, could you PM me. Cheers and thanks for your time.

I never made the game tonight but a friend of mine - a Dundee Utd fan - said we played well and the score flattered Utd. The guy on the radio was going on about how well we were playing in the first half. I kinda feared the worst when i heard that. We need to bury teams at half time, like we should have with Hearts and Killie but didn't. It'll come. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I'm glad that Elliot got a start tonight. Nice to hear that he had a good game.

I got my photo taken with him in the The New Goth in Cowdenbeath just before he left. I was genuinely starstruck. Spent most of the first half of the game trying to post it on facebook.

The atmosphere in the North Satand on Saturday was brilliant. Looks like we've found our "12th man". More should come over. It's a good laugh in there. Made me realise how bad the atmosphere used to be at Firhill.

What about : "You're gonny get you f***in' head kicked in" or "You're going home in a f***in' ambulance" Maybe just against Airdrie? At least.

Maybe the gain on the mic needs to be turned down a wee bit. Will help prevent the feedback and be less tinny. Mind you, the PA system they have there isn't the best to be honest but could be ajusted to sound better.

Eh?

I agree. I actually thought the atmosphere in the ground was great today. Full marks to the shed for the singing. I don't think it's a bad idea having a little bit of the atmosphere/singing coming through the speakers. Could sound a bit better in future but not a bad effort for a first attempt. Oh and by the way.....It's a PA system. Tannoy is a brand name! It's amazing how torn faced some Thistle fans can be after a day like today. Always looking for something to complain about.

Welcome aboard Toasters! It'll be tough, but you'll love it! Mon the Jags!

I'm buying a season ticket this week although i doubt i'll get to use it much though due to working away most weeks. As long as it helps the Jags!

"Unquestionably there are major financial consequences, for all Clubs in Scotland, should a newco Rangers club not take a place in next season’s SPL and there has been a proposal put in front of the SFL clubs that would allow Rangers direct entry into SFL1, contrary to the current league rules. On its own this proposal is clearly unacceptable, on a number of levels, and is something the Board of PTFC are not prepared to support." Kinda sounds like they don't support Newco joining the First Division.

Don't want to rain on the parade here but, isn't it a bit obvious that teams like East Fife and Clyde will vote NO to Newco joining the first division?

Cheers Matt. E-mail sent!
