sc_jag Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just watched a bit of the press conference of the couple from Largs who won the Euromillions the other night, only for the guy to say that "the two Thistles are the love of my life, Largs Thistle and Partick Thistle". Part of me wouldn't blame the guy if he didn't do anything Thistle-wise with his money, but we can all live and dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avie-man Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) You could give our board every penny of what they won and we'd still be deep in debt and up shit creek somehow. Edited July 15, 2011 by avie-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Good luck to them, time for a photo opportunity down Firhill way methinks "Hello, sir. How about you give us 5 million and in return we'll allow you and your missus to have your photo taken on the hallowed turf? We'll even throw in hospitality for two for the Stenhousemuir game".

Jagsfan58 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Don't what out debt is standing at, but clearing that would cut our repayments and give us a good base to move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 A phonecall can't do any harm, even if they gave us 1% of their winnings we would all be eternally grateful! I'm not saying they should or will, just that it would be fabulous if it did happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 John Lambie Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I would... Pay off the debt, update the worn parts of the stadium (including building a new stand behind the goal if 2000 season tickets were sold). Build a training facility with youth academy & also pay new players wages out of my account with the club basically running at break even apart from the stuff mentioned previously!

honved Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 If he is a real Thistle fan then he'll come knocking soon enough. He may well have an affection for one or other of the ugly sisters and be looking to avoid the hate mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
