PARTICK THISTLE has been accused of treating its supporters with contempt after Colin Weir’s 55 per cent stake in the club was transferred to the PTFC Trust, an existing body that already held a 19.28 per cent shareholding in the Maryhill outfit.
The fan ownership dispute at Firhill has been contentious, to say the least. The Jags Foundation (TJF), a grassroots supporters’ organisation with over 850 members, was named as the preferred recipient of the shares in October of last year – and had been in negotiations for around two and a half years before talks broke down in August – by Three Black Cats (3BC), Weir’s company that holds the shares.
