Warriors to stay at Firhill
Tuesday 7th April 2009
Glasgow Warriors today announce that they will continue playing at Firhill for the next five years.
Delighted with today’s news, Warriors head coach Sean Lineen said: “Firhill is a great stadium and is ideal for this club as we continue to improve on the field and grow off it.
“The players enjoy playing on what is a great surface and the noise the fans generate from the Jackie Husband stand is fantastic.”
Equally delighted to ensure the relationship with Scottish Rugby and the Warriors continues to flourish, Partick Thistle chairman Allan Cowan commented: “We are delighted that the Warriors have decided to extend their agreement with us for another five years. It allows us both to plan ahead for that period and we look forward to developing our partnership with them.
“An increasing number of football clubs are realising that they must maximise the use of their facilities and this deal is an example of what is possible.”
Following a brief spell at Firhill in 2005, the Warriors have been based alongside Partick Thistle fulltime since 2007.
