Pie Of The Month Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 In the last year or so there's been a decent amount of kids around here at the bottom of Maryhill Road wearing Thistle tops. Probably a mixture of kids go free and the club doing well that has played a part in this but it's a massive improvement on when I moved in 5 years ago where you'd struggle to see Thistle colours outwith matchdays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Passenger Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I'd be surprised if any other area outside the traditional heartland could claim to have more Thistle supporters than Cumbernauld, which makes the decision to relocate Clyde there even more perplexing.

Alan Murray Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 There is a window across from me in oak road in Abronhill with some jags stuff in it. Saw a good number of jags fans on the bus back after games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito 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. On the way back from the Cowdenbeath away game last season I seem to remember a large number of Jags alighting the train as it stopped at Bishopbriggs.

Guy Incognito Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 There's one in Japan, apparently, but I think he studies over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryza Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Grew up in Lenzie, there were 2 other Jags in my year in the 90's add on there wee brothers and also a good few a couple of years above us. The folks still stay there and spot the odd Thistle fan. Moved out to EK when I got married and like a previous poster on here said, there are a few to be seen, slowly making EK a happier safer place.

thisal Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 See the occasional Jags fans in Baillieston / Garrowhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry gaz Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Any Norwegians or are they all Scottish exiles? My Two Daughters are Half Norwegian and are occasionally dragged to Firhill, does that count? Remember the Southside bus in the nineties was brilliant.

east lothian jag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Used to be quite a few out in Erskine in the 70's and 80's ( Glasgow overspill ). Used to run a bus from there! Not sure how many left....I'm now in the Southside and see a few scarfs in Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Cathcart etc Used that bus on a weekly basis, home and away, happy memories!!!

stillresigned Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Originally. from Partick and after various detours now living in Mosspark, have heard of other Jag's fans on the grapevine, but never actually met one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sunnylaw Jag Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Of course, once we are all in the glorious world of TAG, we will all be part of our local federation and will know our neighbouring Jags fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Stevenson Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Definitely a few in Cambuslang besides myself. Sometimes see Jags getting on or off the trains on match days. Guy who was a local councillor is a Jag (Lib Dem; 3rd choice on my ballot paper as he at least had something positive going for him) and there's a car parked near the station some mornings with a Jags sticker on it. (I stopped doing that after our tyre got slashed the night we lost to the predecessors of Sevco in the League Cup....). Cambuslang is, however, generally orientated to the cheeks with a preponderance favouring Sevco. Neighbours are Motherwell fans though and the guy across the road is a Hibee, so not all on the dark side like Billko....... Edited to add that I am not from the Slang however. Born and raised in Finnieston/Anderston and moved here 14 years ago. The old zone has changed a lot in that area from Finnieston X to Kelvingrove! No Two Ways or Sandyford anymore, it's all Brass Monkeys and Big Lebowskis these days....

MWM Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Theres a few in the Briggs, but I think theres more in other areas such as the west end and Bearsden/Milngavie. We've got the famous briggs bus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campbell Hughes is a big Thistle fan and also from the Lang so might be a few more of you dotted around As for me i have only known 3 Thistle fans (2 at school who were brothers and Campbell Hughes who was one of our football coaches in the team i played for many moons ago who loved nothing better than kicking anything wearing blue or green at training) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
