Julie Ann Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 cant believe you are still trying to defend your position ohh and if they did the car wash thing i would bring my car yo get washed so even more cash went to the club, you should e-mail that one to the club well done nearly forgot, for 50P an item i will do it why? because i don't agree with your view? i'm not exactly the only person on this thread who disagrees with you. its ok for you to say i'm wrong but not for me to suggest something different from you?

lennythistle Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Slight over reaction. Well guess it's all about opinions. I happen to find some of the arguments against the club stance on this really sad. still, i guess each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Ann Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yeah, calmed down a bit now. I shouldn't have said it. Funny you have a night like "WAS" and see everyone getting along and leave the night so proud you support PTFC. Then you read this thread and the only feeling you have is one of despair. agree. a great night for everyone who was there and then to find that we've hit a level where we're collecting jumble to raise money brings on despair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 was that the league sponsors' competition that every club was taking part in? did we not get £10k for that? i think we should set up a car wash on maryhill road on a sunday and get half the players washing people's cars. the other half could be chapping on doors looking for odd jobs. i've got some ironing needing done. i reckon paul paton would do it for a 50p an item. I really want to try and understand the negative reaction to this scheme - is it the fact that it is old clothes, etc or is it the amount of money that is on offer that is the issue? Would you support it if it was old books getting £400 per tonne or if it was £1,000 for old clothes? I am genuinely interested as I don't think anyone on the forum has taken the position that the club should do nothing in terms of raising additional funds so if this scheme does not meet with your approval what would you suggest?

ian_mac Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Julie Ann, quit while you're ahead sweetheart Dark Passenger, or whatever you're calling yourself this week, this is simply a case of the club helping out a charity and getting some reward for it. Maybe the Glaswegian haven't given it quite the angle that we would have wanted, but you can't always control what the press write about you.

Chicofan Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 this forum has completely turned on its head these days. it used to be a place where the club's activities were scrutinised and challenged but now it seems to be full of happy clappers. fair enough. guys like red monkey, dave j and the like would have had a field day with something that contradicted something the chairman had said just weeks earlier and now sees the club collecting jumble to raise money. if this had been clyde collecting jumble can you imagine the slaughtering this forum would be giving them? well done to those who are going to take their old underpants and socks up to firhill. for the avoidance of doubt, does anyone know how much jumble is needed to make up a tonne? it is incredible and sad and telling that we've fallen so low that fans are applauding a jumble collection to raise £400. its also incredible that some can't see that. What ever happened to that guy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Been staying out of all this but I got a couple of points. Firstly the Club needn't be doing this. It should be the very sort of caper that a supporters association (Jags Trust or whoever) should be organising and getting involved in. Desperation doesn't even begin to describe a professional football club trying to provide funding in this way.What next the Sally Army setting up a soup kitchen to feed the players.fricking embarrassing. and secondly some things said in jest and all that. A year or so ago the Club stopped providing lunches for the players. Prior to that they were fed in the Aitken Suite on training days. Nowadays the players have to provide for themselves. Just my opinion but, especially when you take into account our Chairman's profession, that's a far more embarrassing situation than this rag collecting. Yet the no lunches thingy went more or less without remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
