lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Tho' we're not even thru the first quarter the League at the moment is starting to look like it could split in two lots of five. Ayr being this season's "Arbroath" in the surprise category, provided you're not shocked to see bankrolled Queens Park doing rather well. The gap between 5th and 6th compares with gaps between Us and 5th and also 6th and bottom. Difficult spell coming up with some tricky away fixtures plus our next two home games are against Queen Pk and Dundee. A lot could depend on our strength in depth, a quality that was far from obvious against Falkirk. I'm hoping that showing was down to wholesale changes and we'll not see a repeat when it's only one or two coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our competitors have the depth we have - what a difference from last season where we were close to sending on anyone who had a pair of boots with them. Cut out the daft mistakes in defence, be lucky with injuries, and we’ll skoosh it. Did you see us in midweek ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Anybody else remember when we last scored 5, with 5 different scorers. Also the oppositions goal was scored by someone with the same surname as one of our scores. One for @The Thistle Archive maybe.

The Thistle Archive Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 AJ, you must be a mind-reader. Was just about to post this in TTA thread but this is as good a place as any! All the post-match update routine is complete. Don't miss the weekly Stats Watch tab in the match hub; this weekend it's all about 'the goals in this team'...

JAG1970 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Interesting to compare some attendance figures yesterday…. we had just under 3,000 despite being joint top of the league. Dunfermline, top of their league, had 3,644 v Peterhead, and Falkirk had around the same figure at home to Clyde despite then being 5th in the league before kick off. Perhaps underlines the continuing erosion of our core support relative to other clubs, and makes it all the more frustrating we have a board which isn’t interested in fan participation (and potential additional funding)..

I think it's fair to say that result is not one to gauge the team/squad. It's the equivalent of picking out the one bad review on trip advisor and applying that universally.

Not sure I understand your logic. If the core support is eroding, isn’t it better that the board don’t need additional fan funding ? Don’t get me wrong. I think the current situation stinks, just don’t understand the logic of your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in Glasgow we suffer a bit more than clubs that are further away. I was a bit surprised that our attendance was just about the same as the Cove game - maybe the impact of that result and Falkirk?Maybe also some fans turning their backs on the club as a result of the share transfer.

I did see on the Morton forum that a few of their fans said they were happy to have missed the game thanks to the rail strike. I was wondering why we put their support in the Colin Weir Stand when it looked like they could have been in the JHS. Possibly Morton told us they were expecting a larger number than turned up.

Good point that the rail strike perhaps had a proportionally bigger impact to us (fewer Morton fans) than Peterhead and Clyde away support.. but generally it remains concerning that we’ve lost so many fans over the years.

When you see the state of their supporters in hospitality it's perhaps wise to keep their rank and file out of the JHS no matter the numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I think it’s fair to say Dunfermline and Falkirk both have a slightly higher average support than ours. I believe they had over 7000 a few weeks ago when they met as they seem to have a strong rivalry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't make the game today. Much as I would have liked to. I was unwell. I attempted to watch the game 'live' and that, for some odd reason was impossible. Partick Thistle has to get it's streaming sorted out so that supporters that aren't able to attend can still both contribute to revenue and feel involved. My tuppenceworth.

Could I just point you to the extension of that regulation to smaller clubs such as ours having a potential revenue stream being cut off? I would far prefer to attend a game than otherwise, but, if I cannot attend for whatever reason, I would like the freedom to pay and watch. Thereby contributing to my club!

The club needs all the funding it can get even though (apparently) JL doesn’t think the club needs any financial contribution that could come from an active and engaged fans group (TJF). Any additional funding over and above normal income is clearly beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "freakish wonder strike" is a bit harsh. Surely that's one of the best free kick goals you'll see this season. I'd take one like that from a Jags player any day of the week.
