We were absolutely blown away by the take-up for the Doolan Pin this morning. All of the 121 original Pins were reserved within the space of about 20 or so minutes after launch. We will be sending an email this evening to all those who have already reserved theirs, so that they can then complete…
We are delighted to announce that the first Thistle Pin available for purchase (£10 including P&P), exclusively by our members, is… the Doolan Pin! This one really is a cracker. Kris helped us by picking out his favourite photo from his time at Thistle (a Donald Wilson classic), and we are really pleased to have…
We would like to thank all 572 members of the Foundation that completed our August Members’ survey in the last week or so. The response rate of 68% was absolutely phenomenal, and reflects the engagement and interest that you all show in your Club and its future. The information we collected was extremely helpful for the…
Back in early August we gave formal notice of our first general meeting (EGM). It will take place on Thursday 1st September at 7pm in Maryhill Burgh Halls. You have until the end of Friday 26th August to request to participate via Zoom, and until 7pm on Wednesday 31st August to submit a proxy request…

This is the correct decision, and we are grateful to those who clearly understood…
On Wednesday 17th August we were advised by Gerry Britton that the Club Board of Partick Thistle Football Club had withdrawn its consent for The Jags Foundation to have a match-day presence within the “stadium footprint”. It will not surprise you to learn that we disagree with the Club’s stated justification for this. However, it…
The support we have received from Partick Thistle fans in this past week has been beyond our most optimistic of expectations. This process has been exhausting for those involved, but we have made ourselves available to you because you deserve a proactive and accountable form of fan representation. The Foundation now has over 710 members…
During The Jags Foundation elections in May, several of us argued for a discounted first-year membership scheme to be put in place. The purpose of this was to enable all Thistle fans, regardless of means, to be involved and to have their say in the fan ownership journey. We know that a lot of fans…
In the second part of an ongoing series, TJF Board Member Allan McGraw sets out why he decided to run for The Jags Foundation Board and what his hopes are for Thistle in the future. It’s now just over two months since I was elected as a Board Member of The Jags Foundation. Now is…
