Norgethistle Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I’ll ask more directly some questions to the Working Group as I know a few monitor on here. 1. Can you list what the working group have achieved to date. 2. Is the working group still wholly intact 3. What is expected date for a transfer of shares. 4. When does the working group intend engaging with supporters or at least communicating with them . 5. Who is the working group accountable to, if anyone? The supporters or the club board/3bc? Thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business people are not the automatic answer they are like everything else .....some good some bad .....and football is littered with business people who have ruined clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javeajag Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Update on Twitter ... x The Working Group has continued to work hard during lockdown, with plenty of Zoom discussions and ideas developed and now expect to have plenty of news to communicate as the Club returns to football business in early September. Thanks to all of our fellow supporters for their patience to date. With all the challenges of Covid-19, we had decided to keep a low profile and had to postpone the direct fan engagement we had planned for the end of last season. We hope and expect that meaningful fan engagement can commence shortly. Moving forward, the next stage will cause an evolution of the focus of the Working Group, and consequently certain changes will occur to its composition. With personal commitments unexpectedly changing for so many, during an extended period none of us anticipated, we have already had a few changes to notify you of: Pauline Graham, Tom Hosie, Frank Pieri, Gordon Shaw, and Elaine Sibbald have all stepped back from their roles within the original Working Group. We are sure that all continue to be enthusiastic champions of fan ownership from the touchline. The remainder of the Working Group thank them all for their input and efforts in taking us this far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambies Lost Doo Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 5 down already? It's like any committee. People pile in and then when work is identified with other pressures like family etc a drop off quickly happens and a small core get lumbered with majority of work.

Fawlty Towers Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 If we get promoted from league 1/2 do we go to league 1/4 and why is not league 0.5 in this age of decimalisation - I demand answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in the current climate, no one else who isn’t an asset stripper is going to have the means and inclination to own or control our club any time soon. And in the case of scenario A, people need to remember that Jacqui Low is just a director of 3BC and of Thistle. She personally holds no shares in either. If/when 3BC is distributed as part of the Weir estate to his will’s beneficiaries, we’d better be hoping it doesn’t mean others with no attachment to or interest in the club own and control it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree but the last few months have been exceptional times. Hardly surprising that folk's circumstances have changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt she will still be there after fans seize control and the idiots will probably build her a statue. Her latest embarrassment as seen over on P&B is that she is assisting the young fans with a banner to say Scottish Football is Corrupt, she is an embarrassment!
