The Thistle Archive Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 112 years ago today Thistle played their first-ever match at Firhill, the stadium of dreams, the palace of the gallus. It's the place we've called home since 1909, but there's a lot more to the old ground than just Partick Thistle. Which Olympic champion ran at Firhill? Which Jag was born closest to the ground? Heard about the time we burned the pitch? Firhill's stories are as weird and wonderful as the club itself; join us for a 30-minute celebration of The Life And Times Of Firhill Park → Supporting the piece, we have 14 new list pages → breaking down all the (mainly non PTFC) Firhill activity from 1909 to date. Our ambitious Firhill diary → goes for the full megalist approach. Happy birthday Firhill! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is the tortured life of a Partick Thistle fan. Still. I wouldn't have it any other way. As much as I moan about them, I love my club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
