THE controversy surrounding the relegation of Partick Thistle by the votes of other SPFL clubs (Vote passed at long last", Herald Sport, April 16) will not be forgotten by fans of the Maryhill club.

The decision by the Thistle board not to pursue legal action despite the compelling arguments in favour detailed in the QC's Opinion will, however, be hard for many of them to understand. It was a decision which was no doubt made after much deliberation but will leave fans feeling a sense of injustice and powerless to do anything about it.

As someone who was vice-chairman of Thistle the last time we resorted to litigation against the League in 2004, I can vouch for the expense incurred and time expended in what turned out to be a fruitless exercise. Going to court is not the best option.

There is an alternative for Thistle fans to demonstrate their displeasure with those clubs who voted the Jags out of the Championship. Hit them where it hurts – in the pocket. Boycott away fixtures at those clubs.

Thistle fans showed their mettle 20 years ago when they came together to save their club through the "Save the Jags" campaign. They can now show a similar determination and demonstrate their feelings by attending home fixtures in greater numbers but avoiding those fixtures at clubs who relegated them not by victory on the field but through doubtful machinations off it.

For my part, I will be renewing my season ticket and invite others to do likewise. Go to Firhill but find something else to do for away games which involve the other clubs in question.
