partick_twinny Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I've not really followed club politics too much the past few years through apathy. Don't we already have a Jags Trust and a PTFC Trust? Are these both not already fan organisations that hold shares? I get why fans would be put off by the Jags Trust, but why create a third fan body for the purpose of holding the majority share? Is it that control isn't really being handed over? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralstonite Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Serious question, folks. With Queens Park now turning semi-pro, coupled with Thistle's recent downturn in fortunes, are any of you worried that they might take your place as Glasgow's third club? They have a more illustrious history, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a more “illustrious” history than most clubs in Scottish football, because they were winning competitions which were entered by about 4 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether this recent splurge is a Gretna-esque race to the top or whether they are building up long term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just learned that their team is full-time, which I think is extremely profligate and unnecessary for a League Two club. However, they received £5 million from the sale of Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 If Queens Park reached the same level as Thistle and we were regularly competing against each other in the same league I think that would be class. Huge potential for a local derby and rivalry that let's be honest Thistle don't really have at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're similar sized clubs, and though not Glaswegian, St. Mirren Park is located just 3.5 miles from the Glasgow boundary. IMHO, Thistle are far more relevant than Morton. 7 minutes ago, Dr Koop said: Third club? Aye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thistle Archive Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) The Thistle Archive tour (2/4) - Players Our Player's A-Z features every player (1,900+) known to have been listed on a Partick Thistle first-team teamsheet, 1876 to date. At the very least, mini-bios are included for all, even the short-lived obscuros e.g. Kane Hemmings. As things stand, these mini-bios offer no critical insight, but we're open to the idea of extending them in some shape or form yet to be decided, perhaps by a new Thistle Archivist? A big project for someone... Current squad players carry a fairly comprehensive stats overview for this season, as well as their Thistle career to date e.g. James Penrice. Every goal in the club's history which can knowingly be attributed to any given player (10391 of 11339) is listed within each player's profile, as are each and every one of the 750+ penalties taken e.g. Chic Charnley. Looking ahead to the future, our specially applied profile for Alan Hansen gives an idea of how we'd like to shape the player hubs, with several tabs covering every game, Thistle honours, International Caps, Photo Gallery, Stats Watch and more. Directly related to these A-Z profiles, we've added a major section for player's club connections, with almost 8,000 connections identified at more than 1,400 clubs from all around the world, all the way from Auchinleck to Adelaide. Throughout the site, we're always asking for help; any more connections that you know of, do get in touch. A couple of mildly interesting Top 10s... Most connected clubs: 134 - Ayr United 132 - St Mirren 129 - Dumbarton 125 - Falkirk 121 - Rangers 117 - Hamilton Academical 111 - Greenock Morton 109 - Dunfermline Athletic 106 - Queen's Park 105 - Queen of the South Most clubs: 32 - Ritchie Pacquette 26 - Jose Quitongo 21 - Dave Rogers 21 - David Byrne 20 - Tommy Barber 19 - Andy Roddie 19 - Leon Constantine 19 - Nigel Jemson 19 - Peter Kyle 18 - Chic Charnley 18 - Greg Strong 18 - Jason Banton 18 - Richard Huxford Finally in the players section, our Squad Stats tables give you a sense of the most important players on a season-by-season basis. Each season's summary table is applied simultaneously as we sign off the match hubs for any given season, so we currently have 40 out of 146 good to go, the rest to follow when time allows. Any questions / ideas fire away, pt 3 of the tour in a couple of days... Edited September 12, 2020 by The Thistle Archive 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to1998 we’ve only spent 4 seasons in the same division. We always seem to cross over with promotions/relegations, which might explain why Thistle & St Mirren isn’t a bigger rivalry than location would suggest it should be. I only started going to games around 2000 and was too young to have experienced when our matches with Killie were a big deal, but I think that rivalry existed because we played each other a lot and were always at a roughly similar level (a mixture of that and their natural rivals Ayr being so shite). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
