kni Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 The club says that it "won't be staged at Firhill" - http://www.ptfc.co.uk/news/2010-2011/may_2011/english_non-league_side_heading_to_scotland_to_play_thistle I would hope that we can find a venue to allow the fans to watch the game and provide extra cash for the club. So what are the options? Here are a few suggestions Lochburn Park Petershill Park Scotstoun Newlandsfield Any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are the options? Here are a few suggestions Lochburn Park Petershill Park Scotstoun Newlandsfield Any others? Can't really see the Club getting much in the way of extra cash. It'll be a "home" game and season ticket holders don't get charged. Wouldn't be surprised if it's held behind closed doors somewhere or maybe down on Glasgow Green.

Pie Of The Month Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 "Micky Mellon’s men end their week in Stirling with a friendly against Scottish Football League Division 1 side Partick Thistle provides the opposition on Saturday 9th July. This game will be open to supporters." Fleetwood Town website If they are training in Stirling then it migh be somewhere around there.

The pitches at Stirling University are used for a few U19s and U16 by Scottish Premier League Teams ,so that would probably be a good shout. No competing Uni games taking place as well.

Tom Hosie Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 It's a venue in Glasgow that I'm not familar with. I'm told that it should be open door but I want to be 100% about that sort of thing before posting a venue and kick-off time on the OS. Sorry not to be more helpful.

No competing Uni games taking place as well. The pitches the youth players play on at either Stirling Uni or beside Forthbank are both synthetic. I'd imagine no one would want to play on a plastic surface at that time of year. Can't recall if the Uni has grass pitches as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Incognito Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 For entirely selfish reasons, Scotstoun would be ideal. Petershill Park is also quite easy to get to on the train, so that would be okay. Newlandsfield is a bit out of the way but at least we could stand up to watch the game.

Blackpool Jags Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Fleetwood Town are touring Scotland and the club cannot afford to take the team to Blackpool. Fair enough, but if we can afford the North East of England then I'm sure we can afford the North West. Far more interesting, both in a football and social sense.

I'm not sure I understand all this . Apart from the fact that Fleetwood Town are in Scotland so it would be a bit silly heading to Fleetwood to play a team that's not there, why could we not afford to play another team in the NW of England?
