Pie Of The Month Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Went along to get a season ticket so headed along to this. Great idea from the club for the kids to go along and must've been a day to remember for the 5 fans who got to join in. The players came out and punted loads of free Thistle branded balls into the crowd for the kids to keep and then we watched the players pass the ball between them for a bit like they do in the warm ups before the game before they played a training match on a smaller pitch where the players could only take 1 touch which was later changed to 2. Then afterwards everyone got to meet Jackie and the players in the Alan Rough Lounge and the players were all excellent with the kids whilst they also handed up free fruit juice and milkshakes that the players have been drinking throughout pre-season. Well organised and a credit to the club. It's a shame there wasn't a bigger crowd for it but the weather wasn't ideal and the kids (and the big kids like myself) all seemed to have a great time regardless.

I hope they were working on their set pieces (my main gripe over the last few seasons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_miss_jag Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Now am not the biggest fan of jaggy MacB but he won me over today and was actually quite funny! Jaggy MacB has a new fan Good idea from the club though - the balls at the start was a bit of a shock - no warning - the players seemed to rather enjoy throwing them at us though! But made sense with the kids at the end getting them all signed! Great idea from the club and everyone there seemed to enjoy it! Shame about the weather though!

Dark Passenger Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just went along and got my season ticket! You'd think you and PotM were bumping uglies or summat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Another well done day but what is it with Thistle and the weather? I was cold enough at the Firhill Cup day but today took the biscuit. Players look fit and ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I took my 5 year old today who was absolutely delighted to meet the players, still has a massive smug grin across his face all because the players spoke to him! Fantastic idea thistle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy davie Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was there with my boy. Ireckon there was about 100 folk there. Was very enjoyable - I hope they repeat the exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Great idea by the club. Had hoped to take my niece, but my mum had other plans. Did make a stop at Firhill about 1.30 so I could buy the away top though. Disappointed they're not doing kids mini kits, but this big kid has a smile on her face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
