  1. Following on from the North Stand u-turn there is a solution to ensuring that Archie get's his wish to have jags fans behind him and the dugout. Move the dug out to the opposite touchline and you don't have to move the fans. The changing rooms are accessed from the south wet corner so I can't see any reason why they have to be situated where they are (sun in their eye's in the late afternoon perhaps when it's not obscured by grey cloud). Is there any reason why the dugouts must remain in front of the main stand? It would make a better spectacle surely for teams to run out to the centre of the pitch and for the tech team and subs to have to face the JHS as they take their seats, no?

  3. did anyone else notice the wee ballgirl sitting behind the goal at the north stand. who is in charge of the ballboys/girl. for the whole game that wee girl had to listen to all the puke and vile coming out of some(fans) mouths directed to the dumbarton keeper and the few fans that they had?? especially standing down near the front of the stand, even one of the stewards had to say something to him. whoever is in charge need to give this some thought next time, put her along the old main stand out of harms way.
  4. I genuinely hope that the initiative of relocating the more voluble members of our support into the North Stand behind the goals will work and that there will be sufficient numbers to generate sufficient noise to motivate the team and generate some of the long-missing atmosphere around Firhill. But will it, and is the motivation really to enhance the atmosphere or simply to address what is seen by some as the perennial problem of hospitality guests being inconvenienced by close proximity to the lumpenproletariat??? Let’s examine the logic. Despite the very good intentions leading up to" sell out Saturday" – it won’t – sell out that is! There may be a bounce in attendances, and that will be welcome at every level, but will it be sustained? All the evidence of long and sometimes painful decades following The Jags suggests that good intentions do not fill stadia. Nor does good football, despite all the nonsense spouted by pundits who should know better. A winning team is the only things that guarantees a permanent upswing in posteriors in positions – and then only as long as the winning run continues. If it is accepted that vocal support is a significant contributory factor in achieving that run of success, then is the decibel level really going to be raised by splitting our support rather than concentrating it in the Jackie Husband Stand? Further, should our singing section of fans be content with the worst view in the stadium? After all, who when given a choice, opts for a seat behind the goals instead of along the touchline? My fears are that: by dividing we will not rule; that after the initial euphoria wears off, the numbers in the North Stand will fill only a small proportion of the seats available; that the first sight for teams emerging at Firhill will ultimately be far from intimidating gaps in the Jackie Husband stand ; To reiterate, I genuinely hope it works since anything that enhances the atmosphere and provides a stimulus for the team is to be welcomed. The cynic in me, however, questions both the logic and the motivation! “A cynic is what an idealist calls a realist!” Sir Humphrey Appleby (attrib.)
