It's just amazing, the amount of information you guys are gathering and organizing.

For this particular set of records, can't wait to see the Reserves sides from the 60s, when I was too young to travel to away games. But always loved the atmosphere in the main stand at the Reserves matches.

Thanks for the fuel Jagger, much appreciated, vroom vroom.

The main stand used to be really busy in the 70s for reserve games.

 

The thing that remember about the main stand back then was the massive big bovril /pie stall , which now is part of the office area..............

We have 1,989 first-team players in the Thistle Archive, all of whom have a standardized introduction bio. 875 of them now have a 'Bio Extra' tab whereby we delve a little deeper and chat a little more freely about their story. Today, Alex Wright is the latest Jag to get the 'extra' treatment. More than 1,000 still to go on that score if anyone fancies writing some paragraphs on George Smith, Dougie Somner, Chris Erskine etc.

Our managerial pages were updated this weekend, with Doolan taking his place in the A-Z, sandwiched between Cormack and Easton. History in the making, it's quite the thought...

We have a 'Partickle' which covers every move from the very beginning and has been updated this weekend...

Great night for the Jags at Dens, especially for BRIAN GRAHAM who leapfrogged Gerry Britton and shot into our All-Time Competitive Top 50 goals chart, now in joint 48th position with 44 goals. We can't wait to chart his ascent from now. Our illustrated list has every goal from our elitists...

One hat trick for Graham, last season at Inverness.

We'd love that to be true, but it's just not the case; the opener was a clear own goal by Wallace Duffy. We feel a strong sense of duty in recording Partick Thistle's history accurately in every era - it's the reason for the existence of our Archive!

Apologies. Going by my recollection of the TV commentary, and my own failing eyesight.

Not at all, a fair shout, and always happy to be queried, 8 eyes are better than 4 as we always say.

If The Thistle Archive used the media for their info they'd be scratching their heads wondering "Duke Gekantawa-Where is he now?" and just where yon Doohlan fella ranked on the goal scoring list.

Oh, absolutely this. 2 or 3 mind-boggingly ridiculous assists month-in-month-out from the OPTA network which even the SPFL uses! The level of care for the Scottish Championship is shameful.

On this day 1963... over 120 SFL fixtures were now backlogged due to the 'Big Freeze'. Thistle were back in League action for the first time since New Years Day. Amazingly, goalie George Niven broke his wrist on the 1st January, but recovered in time for this next League game! 17,238 were at Love Street to see if the Jags could go top of the League in March. So close, but not quite...
