Jaggernaut Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thistle Archive Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Thanks for the fuel Jagger, much appreciated, vroom vroom. The main stand used to be really busy in the 70s for reserve games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..............

The Thistle Archive Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 Finalizing life particulars can be rewarding, but sometimes a bit upsetting too. Alas, our JERRY SUTER lies in Blackburn Cemetery, his presence ignored on the headstone. We see you Jerry. Jerry Suter, 3 June 1863 to 7 October 1901, R.I.P.

The Thistle Archive Posted February 2 Author Report Share Posted February 2 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. Alex Wright → 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thistle Archive Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 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...

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!

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Thistle Archive Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 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... St Mirren vs Partick Thistle, 2nd March 1963 → Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
