Fawlty Towers Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 http://ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/december_2010/hospitality_sold_out I was glad to see the Club reduce the prices for this match and am equally as glad that the fans have responded in good numbers - well done to all concerned Hopefully for the remainder of the season (and beyond) the Club will look at ways of maximising the revenue that it can generate through matchday hospitality whilst keeping it affordable for the majority of fans.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think it's 'Special Sunday Service' whatever that means... As I understand it a "Sunday Service" means there's no fare as such but on leaving there'll be some sort of collection. Prior to that song sheets are handed out (probably at the top of the escalators) and you'll be expected to sing along to at least a couple of ditties. In between these ditties there'll be a little bit of communal shut eye while the fellow running the show will do some talking. Once you wake up he'll probably then want to make a longer speech. I'm a bit confused as to what will make this Sunday Service "special". I'm taking a wild stab at it and guessing it most likely is connected to the sad passing of Captain Beefheart. Hope I've been of some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I've been of some help Well I never considered that, but it's a nice idea, as a Jags and Captain fan. I went to the Apollo on spec, one night in October 1980 and it blew my musical mind, like Denis McQuade used to blow my wee fitba' brain. Now there's a thought. Denis McQuade, Partick Thistle's answer to Captain Beefheart.....hehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) really hoping the game is on, me, my bro and my dad are going out for a wee dram pre-match so if the game is called off we will end up in the pub all day what a dilemma. its a sad sad day if we are fearing a 3rd place raith rovers coming to firhill, i would love to smack 4 past them like they did to us, aye we've only had 1 bad performace in the last 10 games,in terms of the 4-2 game at stirling, but its about time we put in a really good performance at home and get a bit of confidence about us ahead of playing ross county and morton.

hebridean jag Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 For what it`s worth, Thistle are a general 7/4 for the win on Saturday with Raith as low as 6/5 or evens. This a team whose last game was a month ago when they were horsed in the Cup by the mighty Alloa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I take it buses run on Boxing Day? The Subway is shutting at 6pm that day and it'll take me more than that to warm myself back up in the pub before heading home for a turkey sarnie. Don't know if this helps or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 What times will the pubs in Maryhill be open on boxing day with it being a Sunday? Most, if not all, will be 12.30pm. Can't sell alcohol until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOVAN JAG Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Agree with you there..its a necessity now though I'm afraid..when i hear firhill being called "firhill arena" it makes my blood boil Same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryHell Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Right, Raith usually bring a fair support - so whats with them being housed in the JH on Sunday? We usually only reserve this honor for Ross County. Do we have problems with the North Stand or are we just trying to get an atmosphere going? Here - Change In Arrangements For Away Fans On Boxing Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here - Change In Arrangements For Away Fans On Boxing Day Must not be expecting them to bring many fans through, no trains on boxing day outwith Strathclyde. What would a reasonable crowd for them, 400-500? They can cram them into Sections 8 and 9. It can't be a problem with the North Stand as both that and the Main Stand will be open for a packed egghead derby crowd the following day.

Blackpool Jags Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Pitch inspection 10am, apparently. For that reason, I'm out. I set off no later than 9am for a 3pm kick-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might well be an academic exercise. Maybe if you phoned the club earlier they could more or less confirm the game is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we got their crowds, at their last home game they reportedly got 7,546 on a Friday night. Although I would never propose that we played Friday night football, sorry Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Blows Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Just drove by firhill , roads are ok but the pavements are like glass Just back from Maryhill myself. Pavements are a death trap. My guess is that the pitch will be fine but the police might KO the game if we can't clear the access roads.

yoda-jag Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Just back from Maryhill myself. Pavements are a death trap. My guess is that the pitch will be fine but the police might KO the game if we can't clear the access roads. Pitch Inspection Passed - "The referee has inspected the Firhill pitch this morning and he is perfectly happy for this afternoon’s game with Raith Rovers to go ahead." So, as expected, pitch is fine. Any word on whether Police have passed the surrounding roads and ice-rink pavements? Looking at weather forecast, more snow is predicted to move in to west and the area of Glasgow early afternoon, which makes me wonder if the game could get called off nearer K.O.
