They are the Mighty Rainjurs. The Queen's XI. The most successful club in the world( even though they arent) . So there is nothing to see hear. Scottish football needs a strong Rainjurs. Move on.

Rangers have a huge fan base so it isn’t surprising there’s a queue of folk wanting to invest/donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially, or the general complacency that seemed to set in around the club after he arrived may not have, and we’d still have been turning a profit and maybe stayed a top flight club. This in no way is made as a detrimental comment towards the late Colin Weir, but part of our club stopped fighting for everything and seemed to believe his backing alone would sort everything out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 With regards to the AGM itself is anyone here going to be zooming in, I suppose the benefit of doing it this way is that people who don't live close enough to attend in person normally will be able to participate?

I don't know what anyone is expecting, we are a dead club and there is no sign of anyone bringing us back to life. We have an incompetent chairman, anonymous board of directors, splintered fanbase, average manager and team, shite academy even though millions have been wasted and a stadium that is half falling down! Only thing i can see changing in next few years is the ownership of the club to an incompetent splintered fanbase that will probably take us further down. But thankfully we have the Petershill Complex for when we go tits up and end up junior or lowland league eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman will be replaced overtime Board will be replaced overtime Fanbase can come back together Manager is what he is Academy isn’t costing us anything Stadium will at least be ours this time next year Petershill complex is nothing to do with Partick Thistle FC it’s Partick Thistle Charitable Trust, not part of the club at all but shares name as a way to help it promote itself, it’s actually grown to big for its current set up so running Petershill makes sense and at no liability to our football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman will be replaced overtime - i would like to believe that to be the case but the wet willies we have as fans who wish to take over accepted her back and would no doubt crown her again when shares are transferred. Board will be replaced overtime - see above Fanbase can come back together - true Manager is what he is - true Academy isn’t costing us anything - Maybe not costing us anything but is a waste of time and may cost us one day soon Stadium will at least be ours this time next year - true but still 50% decrepit Petershill complex is nothing to do with Partick Thistle FC it’s Partick Thistle Charitable Trust - They sound organized maybe we should transfer the club to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They become apprentices and get loaned out never to be heard of again and released at end of their contracts. Even now when we cannot find enough for the bench they are not invited along even for experience. The women's team is also of no benefit to the club yet yet gets a higher vantage point than our academy that is supposed to bring through players but doesn't. Both should be kyboshed and focus put on the 1st team where the real bread and butter is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should put more funds into that. I both applaud and condemn this post. I applaud it because anything that provokes apoplexies in the ‘it’s still 1973’ element of our fan base is a good thing. And condemn because it makes me all too aware that not all Thistle fans can be found pre-game discussing the relative merits of John Schlesinger and Lindsay Anderson. Such was my romanticised view of Thistle supporters from over land and over sea. Edited December 1, 2020 by madcapmilkdrinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
