I had Brian Graham on the other day for a nice wee lockdown chat; great initiative by the club.
-
His figures assume no season ticket income, which is a bit daft.
-
Spot on. I'm sure they are spending every waking moment right now trying to come up with some formula that will meet those 3 goals but still relegate us.
-
The club better be getting ready to fight our corner; I have zero confidence we will not end up getting shafted here. Will not be happy if we roll over meekly and accept going down for some woolly 'greater good of the game' notion.
-
Since that format has been introduced in Belgium it has been constantly moaned about by everyone involved, they are always talking about changing it. No-one has been happy with it, even the big 5 or so clubs who wanted it in the first place to guarantee themselves more big games against each other.
-
Similar situation here, was told exactly his on the phone by the ticket office. Picking up 3 replacements tomorrow night. Like the screenshot idea #thistlehack
-
Wouldn't expect them to comment at all, no. Our situation is completely up in the air at the moment and we know nothing about any progress, let alone unrelated outside organisations.
-
Aye; better, but still far from terrific, though I was forced to miss the tumultuous last 15 minutes due to taxi duties, so maybe that was when the terrificness happened.
-
Thanks for all the forensic analysis, WJ, superb effort. And the contributions from those of you (JJ, jlsarmy) who have inside knowledge and have given actual facts rather than innuendo and rumour, much appreciated.
-
Where was that quote, whose ramblings ? I was there but don't buy it any more.
-
Yep, no problem here.
-
Check your spam folder, just found mine
-
Same here; arriving late tonight, expect to be banging and shouting at the turnstile to be let in, furiously waving 3 useless cards.
-
Thread of the year, very interesting and lots of good sense.
-
Pleased about Penrice, less so about O'Ware. He's on the (long) GTF list for me.
-
Fox was replaced at kick-off by Sneddon after injuring his Achilles in the warm-up. No idea how serious it is.
-
Aye; his invisible man act has been enraging me every match I've seen this season, like playing with a man short. Barely touches the ball or an opposing player all game.
-
Ah yes, sorry, didn't mean to imply those quotes were yours. 'Transformational' was from David Beattie and 'great track record' was from Malcolm Cannon at the board Q&A.
-
Indeed. To use all the recent relevant quotes from this debate, I would say 'no worse off', not at all 'transformational' and showing no 'great track record' :-)
-
That's true, yes. So the full picture would be half a season of consortium ownership wasn't enough to save them from Championship relegation and a whole season was enough to get League One promotion. So far this season they're on track to repeat the cycle, and their pattern of recent years.
-
Good job I never tire of adding this to 'track record' claims; they were relegated first under the consortium before that promotion. Track record shows zero on-field progress by either club compared to the season before the consortium bought them.
-
No evidence whatsoever. Neither club has achieved anything more than what they had already achieved immediately before being bought by the consortium. Consortium offer would be a leap of faith. As would TfE.
-
A promotion which followed their relegation...following their takeover by New City Capital. At the Q&A Malcolm Cannon admitted Barnsley had made zero net progress when I challenged his assertion of the consortium's 'great track record'.
-
I think you're right to read between the lines, there's definitely a gap between DB's mentions of concern at how things were being run, and the assurances at the Q&A that it's just about the bid.
-
Available on the Companies House website. Someone posted on here (probably in one of the hundred-odd pages of the New Owner thread) very good instructions on how to find it. Go on Companies House, search for Partick Thistle, click on FIling History. The 9th January 2018 entry for confirmation statement gives the entre shareholding at that date.
