We’re not allowed though to set up a table banners or have an official presence on club property Appreciate what your saying but my comment was more about Britton having the decency to issue an explanation on why consent is withdrawn and to what end. Withdrawing consent for TJF putting on an official presence could well be the start of trying to finish off TJF so I think he should explain what TJF members are and aren't allowed to do.

We are a small fanbase in the great scheme of things. A group with almost 800 paying members (in short space of time) is a decent proportion of core support and to threaten them with security and removals is quite frankly the behaviour of someone in a corner and worried. 70-100k potentially per annum just dismissed with threats. Any CEO worth their salary would be using language that does not exclude such a group and instead be looking for compromises and a middle ground. The books must be very healthy not only to threaten TJF in such a manner but to piss off normal fans like myself who will now withdraw attending games, centenary fund, merchandise, hospitality, lounge pre game, pie stalls, 50-50 tickets, jagzone and money into players fund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's best for the club will always be sacrificed for what's best for JL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpj Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Interesting development: https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/club-update/ I'm hoping this means the PTFC Trust are acknowledging TJF have a right to exist and would then at least be prepared to engage with them but we will need to wait and see what happens over next days and weeks.

ClydebankJag Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I think the release actually makes the club look worse. “We had no self awareness of how inappropriately we had acted until some others fans sat us down and pointed it out to us”. It is one thing to be empowered as a decision maker but it’s another thing entirely to have no awareness of the reaction to those decisions unless someone else points it out to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougall Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 The club having conversations with itself again? It's difficult to discern the difference between 3BC, the PTFC Board and the PTFC Trust as their actions and comms seem to serve the self interest of JL rather than the fans.

elevenone Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 PR spin. Making the trust look like good guys instead of acknowledging what a mess they made of banning them in first place. Plus only mentions tonights game as being allowed back. On plus side a good chance for TJF to engage more fans and hopefully move towards the 1000 barrier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that one of the sponsors has received a nasty letter. Don't think that's productive. But McCall mentioning it in the times a) keeps fan discontent in the public eye b) thereby puts public pressure on the board and c) publicises the fact that sponsors are uneasy about the ramifications of the situation. I don't think McCall is daft and would know these are the effects of him mentioning it in the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggy1967 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) The part that really pisses me off in the club statement is that they wished ' Our intention had been to afford the Trust the same opportunities as TJF had previously enjoyed' All I can say on that one is I wished TJF had been offered the same opportunities in the last 2 years regarding negotiating fan ownership as clearly PTFC Trust have been given.

GoonerJag Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 As someone who claims to be a communications professional, Jacqui Low ([email protected]) has failed to master it for all the time she has been associated with our club. From the disgraceful way she released the news of Kris Doolan's departure before he even knew himself to this pathetic backtracking over TJF's presence at Firhill, her incompetence knows no bounds. Right now, the future of OUR club is in her hands. Scary, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
