Weir, 71, has purchased a majority shareholding and a holding in land at the club's Firhill Stadium. His 55% shareholding will then go to a fan group being developed, based on the Well Society model at Motherwell. 'Fan owners will not need to repay a penny'"Thistle for Ever planted the thought of fan ownership as a real option in my mind," said Weir in a statement. This is a major financial commitment on my part as fan owners will not need to repay a penny - but I believe this gives fan ownership the best possible start."
