elevenone Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 5 hours ago, Norgethistle said: It’s pretty hypothetical as we don’t know who or how yet. Is it a small group of Thistle fans that would have control on their own, or a small group of fans who would engage and bring onboard the fan base (including TJF) and have their views listened to and be accountable to? Ive no idea what’s being proposed but of course TJF is open for discussion and would enter (if consulted) without prejudice or preconceptions. Is it fan ownership (Motherwell model) or owned by fans (Like when Beattie was in charge). Talking hypothetical then lets say lightening strikes twice and I win euro millions tonight and offered 3BC’s a full buy out even over the top of valuations etc would I be declined by them do you think? I’m a fan so would be fan ownership technically. I only forward this theory as I have a feeling this may be the road they are going down ie a yet unknown ‘fan(s) taking the reins and Jags trust could just be our assumption as preferred bidder. ps i am now obliged to buy a euro millions ticket tonight.

Fawlty Towers Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I shall treat the last 2 post with the contempt they deserve (joking guys). I have seen in a couple of other threads people saying it will be Friday when we hear about the preferred recipient of the shares but from the announcement it stated it would be prior to the ICT game so I would hope we hear either on Monday or Tuesday. Given TBC stated last season they did not want this issue to distract from the football it would seem strange to announce it on the day of a televised game which now has a little more pressure on it.

I think you are onto something there FT. That IS the 3BC strategy to find a home for the shares. One lucky fan will win all the shares provided they can set-up a democratic fans organisation by re-inventing the TJF wheel. The draw will be fixed to ensure it’s a ‘member’ of the PTFC Trust who wins, thus securing their presence in the Boardroom ad infinitum.

It’s obvious 3BC are playing silly bu*gers. Which is I suppose their right to do, except they are gambling with the future of our Club. I am still appalled at how the professional approach of TJF has been deemed not up to requirements. The reasons for rejection don’t stack up. It’s obvious that 3BC had another solution in mind all along. I am angry and sad. Angry it has come to this, sad to see our Club descend into farce. What on earth would Colin Weir have made of this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifexile Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Mrs fifexile has a very special birthday on Thursday this week (she turns 60). A membership to TJF seemed a very good choice as a birthday present. Delighted that her membership number is 865! Great to see the numbers still climbing. Wonder when it will break 1000?

In the interests of full transparency, as most folk will have worked out, the membership numbers are slightly higher than the actual number of members. This is because of lapsed members, how rejoiners rejoin and how some with payment method issues resolve them. That said, we now have more than 740 members. Well over 100 joining this past week alone.
