Jags Trust Board Statement

Office Bearers of The Jags Trust (the trading name of The Partick Thistle Supporters Association) have been aware of the ongoing speculation regarding a potential takeover of our Club.

We have also read the statement recently released  by PTFC Ltd.

After Save The Jags,  1,000,000 B Shares allocated to The Jags Trust made supporters the equal largest shareholder though that position has since been diminished by subsequent share issues.

The Jags Trust can confirm that we have not been approached with reference to our shareholding which, in any event, cannot be sold.

We will continue to monitor this situation and will attempt to liaise with the Club to ensure that members, and indeed all  Thistle fans, are in possession of as much accurate information as possible.

SDS AGM 2019

The first Annual General Meeting since the incorporation of Supporters Direct Scotland as a stand-alone organisation will be held at Oriam, Scotland’s National Sports Performance Centre, on Saturday the 22nd of June from 10.30am until noon. This AGM will review the first year of our activities as a locally incorporated Scottish organisation. Representatives of all member organisations, and individual associate members, are invited to attend.

The AGM will be held from 10.30am until noon, after which lunch will be provided and AGM attendees will be joined by other members of the Scottish Supporters Network for our annual Supporters’ Summit which will run from 1pm until 5pm.

The theme of this year’s summit will be Scottish fan culture, looking at what makes Scottish football distinctive – celebrating the good things, and also exploring some areas where our game receives unwelcome attention. The programme is still being finalised, but we hope to have sessions covering issues such as the recent policing review, supporter misconduct, the role of alcohol consumption in football cultures, responsible gambling, and the changes to the league structure / pyramid.

Tickets are now available free of charge via Eventbrite.

Space at Oriam is strictly limited, and tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Please do not apply for a ticket unless you definitely plan to attend!

John Lambie

The Board and members of The Jags Trust send their sincere condolences to the Lambie Family.

It was with deep sadness that the football family received the news that John Lambie, a Thistle legend had died on 10 April 2018.

The mould was definitely broken when they made the man, the footballer, the manager and pigeon fancier. John Lambie was a larger than life character and everyone who rubbed shoulders with him had their own story to tell.

On Saturday 21 April 2018 The Jags Trust Board welcomes to Firhill, the Chairperson, Office Bearers and Committee of Hamilton Supporters Trust.

At this poignant moment it is very fitting that these two teams meet for the SPFL Premiership match at the Energy Check Stadium @Firhill.

Lambie steered Thistle through some agonising parts of our history but he also in true Thistle style experienced the triumphs.

Johnnie Lambie’s Red n Yellow Army!

Derek Harvey

It was with great sadness that the Trust has learned of the passing of Jags fan Derek Harvey.

Derek was first introduced to the mysteries of Maryhill's Finest when studying at Glasgow University, but it was his meeting with, and marriage to, Maggie Forsyth that committed him to Partick Thistle. Joined by their daughter Fiona, the trio were a fixture at Firhill and at away matches until the end of last season when the long-term effects of his illness curtailed his movements.

Our sincere condolences are extended to Maggie and Fiona during this difficult time and details of the funeral service can be found below.

HARVEY DEREK. Peacefully, at The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice, on 22nd August, 2017, aged 65, in the company of his wife, Margaret (Maggie) Forsyth and his daughter Fiona.

A retiral collection will be taken for the work of The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice.

Please be aware that red & yellow colours at the funeral is optional, however they will be on prominent display.
