Meet the TJF Board
The TJF Board of Directors is democratically elected by the members of The Jags Foundation.
Directors face re-election on rotation, with one third of the TJF board elected each year (usually in May/June). There can be a maximuim of 9 elected positions in total.
There is flexibility, under the TJF Articles of Association, to co-opt additional board members, serving until the next Annual General Meeting. This allows us to draw on the wider talent of the Thistle support more flexibly, as and when required.
Board Profiles
Graeme Cowie
Graeme was first elected to TJF’s board in April 2022 and was re-elected in 2025. His day job is in politics, working impartially for the UK Parliament as a policy profession lead and constitution and devolution expert. Scrutiny and accountability are his watchwords, in both his professional life and with fan ownership.
Graeme lives near The Valley in South East London and frequently bemoans that football down south “just isn’t the same”. Having grown up in Kirkcaldy and Aberdeen, his association with Thistle owes a little bit to his late father, a little to the intervention of a Jags-supporting family friend, and quite a lot to the free copy of Ultimate Soccer Manager that came with the family’s Packard Bell computer in 1999.
The rumours that, in 2008, he decided to apply only to Glasgow University so that he could become a Thistle season ticket holder, can neither be confirmed nor denied.
As Secretary of TJF, Graeme oversees a most of the administration and governance of the Foundation, as well as member communications and consultations. He also represents TJF as a nominated “trustee rep” and so also plays a leading role in oversight and accountability of the Club’s senior leadership team.
Graeme also co-ordinates the London Jags Supporters Club and is an atrocious recreational golfer and cricketer.
