Partick Thistle FC intend to move the home support from the North Stand at Firhill Stadium to accomodate away supporters for all games next season (and presumably all following seasons). This is not due to police advice, nor health and safety or due to any issues caused by PTFC supporters who have been in the North Stand in past two seasons. This is simply a badly thought out idea of David Beattie and rest of the clubs board.
The North Stand has been central to a much improved atmosphere at Firhill in the past two seasons, seasons which have seen our great football club win the (old) First Division, and then compete and at times excel in the SPFL Premiership and ultimately retain our top league status for at least another season. A North Stand that houses the most vocal of the clubs support, a backing that has been consistently and repeatedly acknowledged and praised by the players, management, fellow Jags fans in JHS, as well as journalists and tv/radio pundits, who have all collectively said the North Stand is Partick Thistles 12th Man.
By signing this petition you are letting the Board of Directors of Partick Thistle Football Club know that you do not want home supporters moved out of the North Stand to the main stand, or JHS, so the club can accomodate away supporters of any club this coming season.
Keep the North Stand Red and Yellow.

The board has formally acknowledged the growth of this petition and requested a meeting to discuss our position. I am currently drafting a briefing document that outlines the impact of the North Stand on matchday atmosphere to present during our upcoming discussions.

Listen to the fans, it's not the best seat in the ground, it's not the easiest to get into but it's whwere the singing section want to be and it's as close to the shed as fans can get. Cmon Thistle listen to those who matter the most to the club, the 138 year old club, not the whims of the current custodians to make away fans happy or to ease the workload once or twice a season!

For once, the club should listen to its fans. the North stand has been the rebirth of this club, the product on the park has helped, but without the support, the club would struggle. For me the North Stand allows for a new generation of supporter to become enthralled in the atmosphere generated.

I feel this move is a gross miscalculation on the part of the club's custodians. NS is the new heart and soul of Firhill.

The North Stand belongs to the fans and is responsible for the consolidation of the One Thistle culture. The BOD have no moral right to arbitrarily remove this from us. Time for the Chairman to admit he's got this horribly wrong and reverse his decision.

The North Stand has really changed the atmosphere at the games for me, and made the matches far more enjoyable. I do not think that I will be buying a season ticket when the the good vibes we have had at the games will not be there next season, and I presume fellow thistle fans will feel the same and so I feel it is in the interest of the club to cancel plans to move the fans away from our North Stand.

Followed Thistle for over 40 years and think this decision is the most badly thought out and disheartening thing I've heard in all that time.Will destroy the good vibe which exists at the moment.I will not renew my season ticket until this is reversed.
