Partick Thistle Football Club

 Saturday's Programme

Wednesday 16th September 2009

Things are really starting to gear up ahead of Firhill's 100th birthday celebrations this coming Saturday.

To help mark the occasion a special programme has been produced.

In addition to the normal 40 pages Saturday's programme will include a 16 page supplement that takes a look back at 100 years of life at Firhill.

Interspersed with the personal memories of some Thistle fans this supplement , with reference to contemporary sources, takes a look at some of the key moments in the history of Firhill and Partick Thistle and includes:

  • A look at Thistle's home grounds prior to moving to Firhill.
  • Firhill abortive opening and the first game v Dumbarton Harp.
  • Thistle's record attendance.
  • The opening of a new stand in 1927.
  • Firhill's Full International and another record crowd.
  • A record Thistle win.
  • The Firhill Floodlight switch on.
  • European Nights at Firhill.

To offset printing costs there is, for this programme only, a price increase and Saturday's programme carries a cover price of £3.50.

With 56 pages though we are confident that this programme represents value for money and that the special supplement provides an interesting look back at a century of football at Firhill.
