ian_mac Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Drove by this morning hoping to get my breakfast and it was shut! Anyone know why it's closed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hopefully there's a perfectly good explanation for this and it's not the end of this institution. Jaconelli's should have Listed Building status and be taken under the guardianship of the National Trust or be a National Heritage site or whatever it is they do with places of great historical importance. Jaconelli's is an integral part of the very fabric of Maryhill, and has provided a service to the Jags community since before I was born. In fact, it's as much a part of Firhill life as yer macaroon bars and Wrigley's spearmint chewing gum....uh oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post Blackpool Jags And I thoroughly agree, it would be a tragedy if Jaconelli's was lost. But it has been closed all day today which is very unusual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I noticed a few month ago that the chippy next door, michas, had shut down, wonder if its connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin energy Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I was chatting to a mate who knew the owners, dont think it was paying, only time it was paying was on match days, maybe new management may take over ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rid Skwerr Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Thistle move all training away from Firhill to Glasgow Green and Jaconelli's shuts down? Coincidence? At least the players' diets might improve now. (judging by today's shambles it hasn't helped in the slightest!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I was chatting to a mate who knew the owners, dont think it was paying, only time it was paying was on match days, maybe new management may take over ? Is this the chippy you're talking about? In my younger days following the Jags (late 80s/early 90s)I used to go to Jaconelli's after almost every game (this habit stopped once the drink got involved in things!) and the shop was regularly queued out the door with football punters. I walked past after the last game of last season against Raith Rovers, happened to notice that there was not one customer in the joint and thought back to the 'good old days'. If this was at all indicative of how business as a whole has been in recent times then I'm not surprised that it's struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
