Are you mad? She wasn't expected to. She hasn't pumped millions, in fact she hasn't pumped anything at all, into the new stand project (the club yes, the stand no). She'd be mad if she did. Not sure what your problem is with me mentioning it to folk who think she's god almighty emptying her purse on the table so we have a nice new stand to watch the team from.

Bottom line as Bryan Jackson said she bridged and continues to bridge the finance to get us where we were when no one else frontsed the money. She’s shown leadership, vision and given up huge chunks of her time/retirement to get involved and make this happen. I am grateful to her and as I said everyone involved. Your focus on her is maybe telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The club is in a no win situation with regards calling the game off if it comes to that. Let it go down to the wire only to cancel it at short notice and anger those who’ve made arrangements by train/bus etc and even more so Partick Thistle and there fans. Or cancel it now and anger everyone and have everyone moaning that more time would see it done etc. To me if the games goes ahead on Sunday great I’m happy and can’t wait to sit in my new seat in the new stand. But if it’s to be postponed due to the stand not being ready I’m fine with that because I’d rather it be fully ready and have the club not risk supporter safety by rushing to get the game on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
