    Guys just to apologise I have totally taken my eye off the ball on this.  I need to collate all names and donations to do a draw asap for the hospitality option so the winner can use it in 2023.

    LLD, I've a fair bit on next year, so when I attend a match,  it'll be at short notice.  Can you leave me out of the draw for the hospitality,  as other donors are better placed to use it. I should say enjoy it! 

    Good luck to the other donors.

    Nice to see a young player debuting. 
    McKenzie looked fast, strong and skillful in the last 20.

    Where did he come from?

     

     

    Stepped up from the Weir Academy, played against East Kilbride in a pre-season friendly  in 2021. Also loaned out to Petershill.  Profile in The Thistle  Archive below.

    I would suggest relegating one into a new Championship of one, which that one contestant might have a possibility of winning.

    Conversely the same contestant would be last........ and relegated again.   :innocent:

    Don't  breath a word of these suggestions to the SPFL.  They might get ideas. But there again, that means using a brain.  :hypocrite:

    When was the last time a Thistle match ended 3-3?

    Cameroon vs. Serbia: in several ways, the most entertaining match so far.

    10th May 2016. A 3-3 draw with Dundee Utd at Tannadice.  Freddy Frans & Kris Doolan put us 2-0 up at half time, with Ryan Edwards getting the 3rd to put us 3-1 up. We then conceded 2 late goals, the 3rd in the 90th minute.  Match was in the SFL  Premiership.

    CORRECTION - I completely forgot about the 3-3 draw at Inverness  against ICT on9th February 2022. Thistle have been involved in at least 73  3-3 draws (excluding friendlies ) in over 5750 matches over the years.

    Why are we playing in this round? It used to be that 12 Premier teams and top 4 in previous season's  Championship went straight into last 32. When did that change?

    The 2019/20 season was the last time 6 Championship clubs entered earlier than the top 4 . For 20/21 ;  21/22 & 22/23  10 Championship clubs entered earlier than the Premier League clubs.  

    I don't know the reason for this change.

     Definitley not the pyrotechnic type, the trouser type. 

    Agree re the late greats.

    Just add  some of that content nearly x rated , Keep your shorts on when the camera's are about. 

    It's OK, AJ.  Bertie didn't have his glasses on!!

    Great, bring back flares. :party:

    Until I looked at the content, I thought you meant the pyrotechnic version of flares!

    Great to see the late great Thistle men - Bertie Auld; Ian Archer and Brian ( Not Jackie) Whittaker.

    A great obituary in the Celtic Wiki for Brian.

    I'm at the Arbroath hospitality with friends from Aberdeenshire, mainly on the Arbroath side.  Just me and a couple of others hoping for a Thistle win.

    Hope that you escaped the lions den intact, sb.  I have visions of that wee nyaff with the  baseball cap holding his second pair of glasses, who sits on the Arbroath bench,  giving you the evil eye!    :cool2:

    I have faith that TJF will listen to the survey results and the strength of other feedback they will have received. 

    I do think we require a different set of tactics now that the PTFC Trust has been outed for what it is.

    Perhaps some collaboration with what remains of the Jags Trust membership would be a useful option to consider.

    But I feel the ST holders are key to the whole situation as passive beneficiaries; if they were to opt OUT of being associated with the PTFC Trust and the Trust numbers fall below the membership of TJF, that would shift the power dynamics. 

    I don't believe that it would change the power dynamics at all. It took Beattie & others to use their shareholding to oust Low on her previous term on the club board.

    It may be better for season ticket holders who are also TJF members to use their leverage as shareholders to change the PTFC Trust board ( if allowable  -if not why not?), and as majority shareholders then seek to alter the PTFC board.  But the PTFC board have created the ridiculous situation that the majority shareholding body only have one seat on the board!  Not sure of the legal position on the makeup of the PTFC board, but that is where the real battle lies. If season ticket holders opt out of the PTFC Trust, it will not radically alter their position that they still represent the remaining season ticket holders - and the TJF are a dwindling body in the PTFC Trust. Their position relies of the lack of comment from remaining season ticket holders who  haven't expressed any  interest on the issue. 

    The PTFC Trust have said they want to recruit non-season ticket holders, and this again is a battlefield TJF can compete in. Clever tactics are needed, and the PTFC Trust and club board will use the lack of comment from the large number of fans who aren't interested in the politics, but just want to support the football team.  The early recruitment of non- season ticket holders  is a big plus for TJF, but I have no doubt that the club board will dig in regardless of fan and media hostility. The  recruitment of non-shareholder fans to the PTFC Trust is now a major litmus test of their "credibility ".

  10. Difficulty is that the Trust are only a vehicle to hold the shares.  They have no places on the club board, and without that anybody claiming that the Trust is  Motherwell style fan ownership is completely wrong.  There is no fan representation on the current board. My concern is that the current board have the club very tightly clutched in their grubby maws and won't let go.
