twinny Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I know that Shuggie counted up all the Nomads and constantly updated a list of their locations on ptfc.net, but that was now two forums ago, and I'm sure we have lost and picked up some Nomads on the way. So I've started a poll to see where all the Nomads are from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand McNally Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 100% Englandshire so far, I'm afraid. Â Suppose all you guys down under are fast asleep! Can't let England win so get voting (once your up)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Keynes Jag Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've voted. This may be a useful test to see whether Nomads will respond to our own sub-forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Exile Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I met Shuggie for the first time on a plane up to Edinburgh a few weeks back. Looks exactly like he does on the internet! I miss his lists. Â Seems to me the main priority for our group should be to keep up the pressure on the club to move forward with plans for some form of 'official' live commentary and highlights packages. Been talked about for almost three years now as far as I recall. Bit strange for the club to ignore such an obvious revenue source, but then strange seems to have taken over from unpredictable as the nickname for our club.

Wiltshire Jag Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Chippenham, Wiltshire, Engerlund. Have adopted Bristol Rovers as a surrogate Jags - but it's never the same, even the disappointment isn't as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Registered Nomads continue to receive periodic News-Mails on topics of interest to them - so we do have a big distribution list and knowledge of where they are (or maybe were) Only when their e-mails bounce would we wonder about their whereabouts / state of health. Â Steelie_toes Ailsa carried the Flag for a good while as Secretary and /I know she is looking for a successor. Â There ought to be well over 170 Nomads if we're all still around and kicking. Â Our objectives as a Supporter's Club are written on the Official Site. Checkout there how you can join us. Â Our efforts to support the Club from afar are pretty good given we rarely get the stimulus of a pint or six in a Thistle Bar every second weekend. Â We await a new dawn when the engagement we have sought reaps some reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapiti Jag Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Kapiti Coast, NZ, currently (I think) reigning champion in the Most Southerly Nomad competition, well until someone from Invercargill pops up... Â Been here since January, convinced that the down-turn in form this past season coincided almost exactly with my last game (Dundee, 5th December)!

erzamacaroonbars Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Clocking in from sun soaked Ballarat in Victoria, Oz. Â I think the last good performance from the team was my last game up in Inverness (2-3). So I have convinced myself its not me thats been the jinx for all those years. Love this whole Nomads thing, 12,000 miles away and still talking Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danish jag Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Originally from Denmark, I now live in Glasgow, but still consider myself a nomad as I still remember the days of the F5 brigade and how much better we could make the match day experience for people not able to go to the games. Maybe we should have a look over one of Shuggie's old lists and see if there are new objectives to the Nomad cause that we could develop further. Will be doing my bit of HWing next season.

Â Been here since January, convinced that the down-turn in form this past season coincided almost exactly with my last game (Dundee, 5th December)! Â My wife and I must share the title of 'Most southerly Nomad/s' for now - we're not in Invercargill but not too far away! South Canterbury represent see my post in the other Nomads thread. Â We have yet to make a game at Firhill or anywhere for that matter - though we do make it to Glasgow now and then as we are both part of a successful Pipe Band, it's always late July early August for the Pipe Band World Champs which are usually held on the very first day of the football season! Next time we're gonna stay a while after so we can make a game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcapmilkdrinker Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 We have yet to make a game at Firhill or anywhere for that matter  that makes me feel a bit better.  I've only ever seen three games live, two in the glory days of 1975 where I was brainwashed by a distant and sadly departed relative, and one in the late nineties. The one in the late nineties was against Dundee United and was memorable mainly for the wretchedness of our performance and my disbelief that Scottish central defenders would still hoof the ball over the stands even when losing. The games in the seventies were memorable for the size of the crowd and the fact that as a five year old a dead dog seen floating peacefully in the canal you cross to get to Firhill seemed so interesting.  When I arrived in Scotland in the mid nineties i was picked up at the train station by a relative of the person who had encouraged me to follow Thistle. After some idle chit chat i said, somewhat gloomily, that the Jags hadn't been traveling too well. With the air of someone who doesn't follow diddy teams she asked me why I'd said that. 'Don't all the family follow the Jags?' I replied. 'No just weird David, we all support Rangers and they've been going great'.  Wouldn't change a thing though.  'Mon the Jags from Adelaide, Australia.

Exiled AusJag Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Lived in beautiful Melbourne since 1983, only returning to Scotland once since then in 2005. Saw Thistle a couple of times during that trip. Occasionally watch Melbourne Victory, (my son is a season ticket holder), but most of my football is refereeing.
