Every Partick Thistle fan is an ambassador and an advocate for our Club. Growing our support depends not just on an entertaining product on the park, but a common story to tell off it. The Club is working on a project to better define and articulate what Partick Thistle stands for: what it really means…
On Thursday 18th September, Partick Thistle hosted a Meet The Board townhall event at Firhill. The panel included Richard Beastall (Club Chair), Allan McGraw and Alistair Gray (the directly elected Fan Rep Directors), Elliot Gilmour (Academy Lead), Ian Baraclough (Sporting Director) and new skills-based appointees Grant Russell (Branding and Communications) and Jacqui McInnes (Finance). You…
Yesterday afternoon the Club Board and representatives from The Jags Foundation had an open, candid, and comprehensive discussion about the future direction of the football club. We are still in the relatively early days of fan ownership, and inevitably there will be missteps on that journey. Passions can sometimes run high, precisely because everyone involved…
Bidh cuimhne mheasail aig cuid den luchd-taic againn air Thistle Pin na mìos seo. Air a’ mhìos seo, tha sinn a’ toirt urram do Iain Èàirdsidh MacCoinnich a rugadh air aon de na h-Eileanan an Iar, eilean ìosal, uaine Thiriodh.

As part of our unique three-part sponsorship of Saturday’s fourth round Scottish Cup tie against Dunfermline Athletic, the Club kindly agreed to host a pre-match “press conference” for TJF members yesterday afternoon. Ian McCall was joined by Stuart Bannigan and Jack McMillan, and gave those in attendance a real insight into where things are both…

As a result, a timetable and associate actions have now been agreed between TJF and 3BC, with the support of the Partick Thistle Board. The proposed…
Despite the flurry of matchdays, The Jags Foundation has continued with virtual meetings in recent weeks, and there has been much going on behind the scenes. Firstly, responsibilities have been allocated as follows : Gavin Taylor – Chair, Liason with Three Black Cats (3BC) and Partick Thistle FC (Club) Allan Heron – Secretary, Governance Sandy…
It is, of course, great to have Partick Thistle back in our lives on Saturday afternoons (and Tuesday nights) again but the virtual matchday experience is a sharp reminder of what we are all missing. We naturally all want to see Partick Thistle emerge victorious every time eleven guys in Thistle colours step onto the…
While Glasgow, and consequently our own club, remains firmly in Level 3 of the Covid-19 Protection Levels it has been heartening to see limited number of fans once again permitted to attend football matches in other parts of Scotland. Football played without the backdrop fans is a much diminished experience and hopefully the days where…
TRULY momentous moments don’t occur all that often for Partick Thistle. In fact, they usually come along just once every 50 years.
In 1921, the Jags lifted the Scottish Cup for the only time in their history while the Maryhill club’s finest hour – the 4-1 thrashing of Jock Stein’s Celtic in the 1971 League Cup final – arrived precisely five decades later. And with 2021 on the horizon, Firhill is bracing itself for another significant development.
