Trust the process: PTFC Trust ask Thistle fans to wait before they judge

THE PTFC TRUST say they are determined to engage meaningfully with Partick Thistle supporters in the wake of the controversial share transfer at the Championship club.

Five supporters – Richard Beastall, Ali Campbell, Neil Drain, Fergus Maclennan and Randle Wilson – were last month co-opted as Trustees by their predecessors, who they then replaced with no consultation with their beneficiaries, or, indeed, the wider support, with a view to inheriting Colin Weir’s 55-per-cent stake.

Three Black Cats (3BC), Weir’s company that held the shares of the late Euromillions winner, were charged with delivering fan ownership and were in discussions with The Jags Foundation (TJF), a grassroots supporters’ body comprising more than 850 members, for over two-and-a-half years until talks collapsed a month ago.
