I'm a Hibs fan, and in the late 70's and all though the 80's I used to travel to every away match. Firhill was always one of my favourite grounds. Great traditional stadium right in the heart of Glasgow. Thistle have had some right good players over the years.

Great to see the old shed first stood there 1978 got the train down from Oban

[@cnoc500]

Such large proportions - one of my fav away days back in the day.

[@Fernandwinnie]

I loved the grounds back then. Terracing and crush barriers behind the goals, packed with fans standing. What have we got now? More stewards than supporters !

[@johnwheelhouse6254]

Good to se the old format, being going there for 57 years, but its now a stadium to be proud of, rembering that the toilets were a wall behind the shed. It will be good to see the proposed small stand finally built, and why not call it The Twenty one- Seventy one after our cup wins

i was born in Kirkland street and lived in firhill street for a bit went many times to the old thistle ground game v Rangers 40000 + was the biggest attendance I saw there

[@stephenheffernan4163]

What a place, used to be up in the shed with the Firhill Shed Boys, later to be the NGE

[@raymondmcmenemy303]

Enjoyed many a Pie and Bovril at Firhill. The occasional game too.

ahhh memories ,, watching `taggart` being filmed whilst taking a pish at the wall behind the shed, giving Gerry McNee pelters in the tv box after he urged all football fans to support Ra**ers in europe, anglo scottish cup ties in the middle of winter, walking round to the exits with 10 min to go, the steepest stairs in the world,, the old programme shop,,, ahhh bliss ,, ` the best stadium in the world ,, great vid , cheers for the memories x

[@jamisbillson4872]

Why did sweaty stadiums have square goalposts?

[@sphero23]

see you again soon at Firhill !

[@ianbennett1242]

Looked a fine old stadium...but clearly way too big for Thistle.

[@Jimmy_Cooper]

Ian Bennett , obviously now it would be ,but no back when it was built

[@alastairmacgregor75]

I'm sure the crowd st the 1988 cup tie against Celtic was over 24000 Archie McLean from Dunbeg near Oban was Thistles goalkeeper that day I also attended a 1_1draw in 1980 again against Celtic Jim Melrose equaliser for Thistle in the last minute. The crowd was well over 20000. Two world cup goalkeepers that day Alan Rough and Pat Bonnar

[@gavb9816]

surprised this club stayed afloat, given its only when the old firm come that there is anyone there

[@Fernandwinnie]

Says it all about the Glasgow public.

[@alastairmacgregor3529]

Sorry Thistle have a decent.support particularly away. Queens Parks figures 1200 plus in the away end when Thisle visited this month. I rather imagine Livingston Ross County and St Mirren struggle to.take that to away games . Last home game not on season ticket book 3650 plus kids go free that's several hundred more. Not a bad gate for Scotlands second tier
