Fans asked to pay for transfer fund

Partick Thistle chairman Allan Cowan has urged fans to dig deep to fund new boss Ian McCall's signing targets.

The Jags are looking to swell their transfer budget by getting fans to put £100 into the club each month as part of a financial overhaul.

But Cowan insists it will only be the well-heeled supporters who'll be targeted.

He said: "We're working very hard to ensure the long-term future of the club. We haven't finalised the playing budget but we know there's not a pot of gold in the First Division."We'll make as much money as possible available to the manager and we've just launched a new scheme available to supporters which we will call a 'Players Fund'.

"We'll be inviting supporters to donate £100 per month to be put into a fund which will allow us to sign players. If it's a success there could be more funds available to the manager.
