licencetogrill Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I met my first ever fellow Dundonian Thistle supporter (apart from my two year old son! ) in the new Dundee asda last month ! My wife, who is a jambo, was distraught she has never had a random stranger in Dundee exhall all things great about her team in 13 years here! A proud day!. As i've said before here though randomly Dundee have a soft spot for Thistle Rod MacDonald as he does playing a minor roll in a local jute museum exhibit ! Which is surely only the 2nd mention of jute in the history of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just me and 2/3 others in dublin . Although they don't go to games. In saying that I only got to one last season and what a game it was. Dunfermline at home. Great game. Great atmosphere great goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Quite a few Thistle fans in Stirling, Bridge of Allan etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SussexJag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Quite surprisingly there are 2 in my street here in Brighton, a guy from Bishopbriggs and me from west end. And we have four kids between us so hopefully that's another 4 despite the scepticism of our partners. My pal knows how to get thistle matches on internet which has led to a couple of terrible hangovers. There is at least one other who apparently goes to watch Brighton at 'the Amex' - 36 quid a pop by the way, which is why i dont! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Not seen many Jags in the Preston/Blackburn area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzJag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Loads of us in East Kilbride, 7 in my family (still trying to add my wee cousins to that list, already brain washed one) and 5 of my pals plus all their families are Jags fans. There were also a couple of boys in my year and in years below me at school who were Jags fans and that I often see at the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan100 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 There's a few in Shawlands/Pollokshaws. My next-door but one neighbour is a 'lapsed' fan. A casualty of previous regimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blutarsky Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 i did meet two cycling Jags pedalling out the '77 earlier in the summer (on separate occasions). i suppose it's a similar experience for OF supporters meeting each other at the Sheriff Court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwejag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 There's 3 or 4 in Stavanger Any Norwegians or are they all Scottish exiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Quite a few from the south side I think. Far too many, if the truth be told. Always thought that the Briggs was a stronghold for jags fans, even though I'm not from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jago1953 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I was brought up in Whiteinch in the 50s/60s & a lot of Jags fan there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Not seen many Jags in the Preston/Blackburn area. Ditto Blackpool, and that's with a very sizeable Scottish diaspora. Almost exclusively (the Scottish contingent that is) slabbering, festering wretches from the paleolithic creature communities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicofan Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Only ever seen one other person with a jags top on over in Pollok in 13 years and I think he may have been lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clash cityrocker Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Iam originally from Springburn but moved to Bishopbriggs as a teenager, went to Bishopbriggs high school where Frank Coulston was my P.E teacher. Iam now living in Linlithgow and my wee boy is Jags daft, he managed to 'convert' his wee pal from sevco to the dismay of his Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam jag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Not many now in Amsterdam only 2 of us I think but that was not always the case. When I arrived in early 2000s I put an advert in an old forum for a Celtic game being televised and there was 8 of us altogether turned up in the Tig Barra. Funnily enough I do see a lot of the old Amsterdam faces quite regularly when attending games at Firhill. I grew up in Campbeltown and in my year at school there was only 2 of us supporting the Jags, in fact think we were the only 2 Jags in the entire school. In Campbeltown most of the Jags supporters were of the older generation. But this seems to have changed with at least 5 season ticket holders who attend on a regular basis, another who travels when work permits, a guy from Lochgilphead who owns a shop in Campbeltown is also a Jags fan and a few of the elders Jags still there. I have also met a few old fellow school pupils who now attend Firhill with their sons and daughters. Onwards and upwards as they say.

northernsoul Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've never seen so many Jags strips at the local football pitch after school time finishes and at the weekends in the area I live. Predominately young lads about 12-16+ years old. Great to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
