Jags Trust Board Statement - Update

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, the 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 and now represents 7.46% of issued shares.

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 have communicated with the Club as representatives of a body of supporters with a significant shareholding, seeking an early opportunity to meet with members of the Board to be briefed on the current position vis-a-vis any potential change of ownership of The Club.

It has now been agreed with the Board that such a meeting will be held at a mutually convenient date as soon as can be arranged.

We hope that it will be possible, thereafter, to provide our membership and the wider support with some definitive, rather than speculative information.

A similar dialogue with representatives of those seeking to gain ownership of The Club is being sought subject to their identity being confirmed.

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!
