The ninth design in the Thistle Pins series will need no introduction to Jags fans who are regulars at Petershill on Sunday afternoons. We are delighted to announce the launch of the Hawksworth Pin. Just over a year ago, Partick Thistle inducted Mhairi Hawksworth into the Jags Hall of Fame. Mhairi was the first member…
For us, Thistle Pins is as much about telling the history of Partick Thistle as anything else. When choosing the legends to be depicted in each Pin, we try to strike a balance between the old and the new, so that Thistle fans of all ages have a stake in it. But this month we’ve…
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. Chanadh mòran den luchd-taic gur e an cluicheadair a b’ fheàrr a bh’ againn a-riamh…
Two millennia ago in Bethlehem, the Nativity story has it that Three Kings came bearing gifts for the baby Jesus. As a tribute to that tradition, and to raise money for a good local cause, we will be launching the Three Kings Pin on Friday 16th December at 7pm. About the Three Kings Pin The Three…
We are delighted to announce today that the fourth Thistle Pin is the McQuade Pin! The Mad Monk Denis McQuade, known as the Mad Monk (because he briefly contemplated entering the priesthood) spent 8 years as a player at Thistle. Denis played for the Jags more than 300 times, scoring 76 goals in competitive games….
This evening we are proud to announce that the third Thistle Pin depicts none other than Jackie Husband! Jackie had an association with our football club that is simply without parallel. Player, captain, coach, physio and kit-man. With the exception of a short spell as Queen of the South manager, Jackie Husband spent his entire…
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…
Common sense has prevailed. This morning Jacqui Low contacted the Foundation on behalf of the Club Board and advised that, after all, The Jags Foundation would be permitted to have stalls in the John Lambie and Jackie Husband Stands as before. 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…
