Administrators Col Posted September 27, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 On October 23rd 1971, eleven men in the colours of Partick Thistle produced arguably the greatest ever shock result in the history of Scottish Football. A result that prompted legendary Scottish football commentator, Arthur Montford to famously declare; “What a Sensation, it’s 4-0 Thistle”. In the 1971 League Cup Final at Hampden Park a predominately young, universally exciting Partick Thistle side humbled Jock Stein’s previously all-conquering Celtic team by four goals to one. On Saturday October 22nd 2011, almost exactly 40 years to the day of Thistle’s greatest ever triumph, the venue is once again Hampden Park for a celebration of that truly sensational result. This though will be no staid look back at one of the Club’s yesterdays. Rather it will be a celebration in true sense of the word, and not just of that famous result, but a celebration of Partick Thistle Football Club in general as well. A night for all Thistle fans; young and old to enjoy. All kids that attend the event will be given something to help them celebrate each of the four goals with. This will be a night of colour (red and yellow obviously), music, laughter and, of course, football. So dig out your scarfs, flags and banners so clear your throats, the bars which will be open should help with that, and get ready to raise the roof in celebration of Partick Thistle. This is the only party in town – make sure you don’t miss it. Included in ‘1971 – What a Sensation’, will be: Music from Neil Sturgeon (The man who wrote and sung ‘Follow Thistle’) Songs from the Shed Boys. Entertainment from a top class comedian. Jags videos from Colin Scott where Thistle always win. Unique interviews from 1971. Presentation of the 1971 League Cup winning team complete with the League Cup itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdtqsLQxB0I Click on the link for the Official What a Sensation Video http://www.ptfc.co.uk/fans/1971'>http://www.ptfc.co.uk/fans/1971 Also attached is the official ‘What a Sensation’ poster.

honved Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Brilliant. Just bought my ticket. Edited to add, sadly my 1972 scarf will not be joining me. I left it on the Citylink back to Edinburgh after one of the postponed Falkirk games last year. Lost property didn't get it handed in, so a Celtic fan must have found it Edited September 27, 2011 by honved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hosie Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Here's a spooky thing, while I was watching the video and the action reached the League Cup Final I got a text message. My text message alert is Arthur Montford commentating on Alex Rae's goal from that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantB Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Looks like a great night. Quick question, why is it not advertised on the front page of the official site? It currently resides, hidden away, in the 'fans' section where few people will see it unless directed by a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant, It was "hidden" there so we could link the mailshot without people see-ing it prior to the launch ,it will be brought onto the front page News within the next 24 Hours.

Munkey Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Getting my ticket Friday. Think it will be a great night. I also think this is exactly the kind of event the club and fans should be putting together regularly. Looking forward to this like a Dumfries Gala day.

Blackpool Jags Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 How many tickets will be on sale? What I mean is what's the sell-out point? I fully expect to be there, but I won't know for certain for a week or so yet - work/family related. Obviously, if we're getting close to selling out, I'll buy a couple of tickets just to be sure of getting in. If we don't sell out completely will it be pay in on the night? That question is for the benefit of one or two maybes I know of. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
