Whilst Patrick Thistle would be an amazing name for a Hollywood movie star, Partick Thistle is the name of Glasgow\u2019s third top-flight football team behind Rangers and Celtic. They play their home games at Firhill Stadium and have done ever since the ground opened in 1909. In the past Firhill has also hosted rugby union and rugby league games and has acted as the temporary home of both Clyde and Hamilton Academical.<\/p>\n

In 2000 the stadium was used as one of the venues for the Rugby League World Cup. Another rugby link for the ground occurred in 2007 when Glasgow Warriors rugby union side used it for their home games. When Hampden Park was used for some of the football games in the 2012 Summer Olympics, Queens Park used Firhill Stadium for their home matches.<\/p>\n

Firhill Stadium Seating Plan and Where to Sit<\/h2>\r\n \r\n
<\/div>\r\n \r\n
From PTFC<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

At the time of writing there are just three stands at Firhill Stadium. There is nothing at the South end of the ground, despite attempts by the club to build some seating there on a number of occasions. The North Stand is also nothing too special, built in the early 2000s when the club graduated to the top-flight and had to build a new stand to meet Premier League regulations. The Jackie Husband Stand runs along one side of the pitch and is a single-tier section of seating, whilst The West Stand is the main stand in the stadium and is often referred to a such as it contains the dugouts and changing rooms. It was built in 1927 and is currently used to house away fans.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
