Das erste Mal seit 1984 hat Partick Thistle die Top 6 in der ersten Liga erreicht- und darauf soll nun aufgebaut werden:

Partick Thistle secure funding for £4m training centre to build on top-six spot

Partick Thistle are to receive £4m funding for their first-ever dedicated training ground and believe it will help them compete for future honours.

The Glasgow club secured a top-six finish in the Scottish Premiership with Saturday's 1-0 win over Motherwell.

Now they have announced funding for the new facility from the Weir family who won £160m on the lottery in 2011.

Partick Thistle managing director Ian Maxwell agreed it could help keep the Jags at the top end of the table.

"I think it gives us that opportunity," he told BBC Scotland.

Die haben echt einen tollen Lauf! Wir bekommen sie ja am Samstag im Ibrox vor die Brust und da bin ich gespannt. Klasse, was die leisten!

Ja, das sehe ich ähnlich, nach Jahren im Schatten des schottischen Fußballs hat sich Partick Thistle jetzt wirklich was aufgebaut und scheint sowohl sportlich als auch strukturell auf einem guten Weg zu sein. Natürlich haben sie mit den Weirs auch Glück gehabt, aber andererseits finde ich es von denen eben auch sympathisch, in ihren Lieblingsverein zu investieren- zumal die Gründung einer Jugendakademie und die Errichtung eines neuen Trainingszentrums ja auch wirklich sinnvolle Investitionen sind.
Jetzt müssten nur noch die Fans auf breiterer Basis mitziehen und mehr Leute zu den Spielen kommen- denn das Potential dafür ist ja da, wie beispielsweise die 8000 Zuschauer beim ersten Spiel nach dem Aufstieg 2013 belegen.
