		The Firhill club had initially benefited from an SPL vote earlier this month when Caley failed to gain the eight votes needed to allow promotion in a groundshare agreement with Aberdeen.
		Firhill chairman Tom Hughes had initially claimed the club would accept the decision and begin preparing for life in Division One.
		Firhill chief executive Alan Dick confirmed the Jags' decision - on the same day the SPL fixture list was published.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Partick Thistle FC - Bairns prove that it's Firhill for thrills
		The travelling contingent just about filled one end of the stadium, cheering on a team that cannot stop scoring at the moment - 16 goals in three games is a commendable feat by any standards, and they chalked up No. 17 before quarter of an hour had elapsed.
		The ploy paid off in the 25th minute when Latapy stroked the ball into the path of Duffy, who chipped over Kenny Arthur from the edge of the area for his second of the match.
		Some un-complementary banter broke out around Firhill at the loss of this second goal, but the plain fact was that the score did not flatter the visitors.

		This season, Hamilton are residing in the palatial surroundings of Firhill the ground of Partick Thistle.
		Firhill is surrounded by tenements, some of which overlook the ground and may afford a good view with a pair of binoculars.
		During the previous spell of Accies tenancy at Firhill, the ground was notorious for a poor playing surface and high incidence of call-offs.

	The Hogarth Family Pages - Arms, Badges, Crests & Tartans.
		The Australian branch founded in 1875 by the Aberdonian William Hogarth, 3rd son of William Hogarth of Firhill, tended to used this design on their signet rings, but in the current generations they are believed to be reverting to the correct Pegasus's head (in which the wings are attached to the shoulders and not separated).
		The Firhill arms, whose most recent matriculation was in 1970 (Scots are expected to rematriculate, when the descent is in a straight line, at least every second generation), have for crest a Pegasus head Or winged Azure, each wing charged with an estoile as in the Arms.
		This crest may be lawfully worn within a strap-and-buckle by Hogarth clansmen, but it may not be lawfully used without the strap-and-buckle (nor are the arms available for use by anyone whose surname happens to be Hogarth, despite what the bucketshops pretend).

		'''Firhill Stadium''' is the home ground of the Scotland Scottish football (soccer) club, Partick Thistle F.C. Located on Firhill Road in the Maryhill district of Glasgow, the record attendance for a Thistle game was against Rangers F.C. in 1922 when 49,838 people attended.
		The record attendance at the ground for a football game though was for a Scotland national football team Scotland-Ireland game when around 55,000 people attended.
		In 1996, Firhill was the site of the Scottish national Rugby League team's first game on home soil, a victory over their Irish counterparts.

		By the time Tayport scored what proved to be the winning goal they had already been reduced to ten men after Ross Gunnion was ordered off for his second bookable offence with 11 minutes of normal time remaining.
		As they threw caution to the wind and pushed men forward in a desperate attempt to snatch an equaliser they almost lost another goal right at the death as David Evans sent Allan Ramsay racing in on goal but the substitute swung wildly at the ball and fired his effort way over.
		Linlithgow, however, have shown enough in the previous rounds of the competition to suggest that they are more than capable of bouncing back from the disappointment of yesterday’s defeat and when the Scottish Junior Cup starts all over again in September their minds will, inevitably, turn to booking another trip to Firhill to make amends.

		By again taking the "one game at a time" theory, Dunfermline have to be looking at coming home with all three points this weekend.

		The fans who fill the Firhill stands are a breed apart from your normal football supporter, holding a particular love for the side in the face of persistent adversity.
		The club is based in the heart of Maryhill but its roots and name is still linked to Partick, where it was based for its first 33 years.
		Roberts said: "In the 30s the board decided the navy blue strip was too dark and they wanted a much brighter shirt which would be very distinct from Celtic or Rangers.

		According to Thistle chairman Brown McMaster, changes are being made to the youth setup at Firhill purely on coaching grounds and they have nothing to do with money.
		Far from Thistle being committed to youth, this shows that as far as people in footballing circles are concerned the youth policy at Firhill is being scrapped.
		It appears that the club don't want to invest too much in the youth setup and are making it a part-time operation, which leads us to the sacking of Bob Dinnie.

		As the heavy rain eased off, I had a wander round the perimeter of Firhill which was a bigger, more imposing venue than I had anticipated.
		Although I'd seen a couple of pictures of the stadium, I had pictured Firhill as a small, fairly unappealing setting but the ground was of a much greater scale than I had anticipated.
		I liked Firhill and after making a good initial impression on me, my opinion of the stadium and the home fans improved further as the afternoon unfolded.

		Firhill is becoming very familiar this season, two away league games so far, both at Firhill.
		The only familiar face left at Firhill from the Tommy Bryce era is that of Des McKeown who hit the headlines recently after breaking the nose of a referee, totally innocent we are assured.
		The last season we met the Accies in the League was 1996/97, that term the honours were split evenly with the points being shared twice and both teams recording a home win each.

		But just to show there is no bias at Firhill, their other great moment came with a 4-1 win over Celtic in the 1971-2 League Cup Final.
		From the later eighteenth century until the 1950s this was the port for much of Glasgow’s trade, especially the distilleries roundabouts, and at Spiers Wharf are what must be the most splendid warehouses on earth, like Adam mansions, and now also mainly converted into flats with a view of Park Circus to die for.
		You pass the ruins of Firhill Basin on the right, which was a timber depot and now seems to be converting itself it’s a Site of Scientific Interest, as well as a sight of scenic beauty, give or take a few wrecked cars and supermarket trolleys.

	Partick Thistle Report - 4/3/00
		Sellars appeared to be marking the Namibian guy on their left wing and for a change this season, the Arbroath fans seemed to behave themselves with no raciest chants (well I never heard any but neither did I last time I visited Firhill against Hamilton).
		Their number 10 was a big fellow and was causing some problems with his height in our defence in particular after 12 minutes when he met a cross from their left with Crawford challenging.
		We had a penalty claim for hand ball turned down which everyone saw bar the referee and his linesman who was in front of us.

		Just as Andy McLaren did when he was on loan at Firhill from Dundee United, new signing Scott Paterson is playing his cards close to his chest regarding his future, as he believes he is still good enough to play in the SPL.
		But the experienced defender admits that after injury plagued his time at United, he's looking forward to returning to where he enjoyed one of the best spells of his career.
		I probably had one of the best times of my football career when I was here the last time, and although there are only about three players still here from my time; keeper Kenny Arthur, big Kenny Milne and Derek Fleming, not much has changed.

		Defender Whyte will celebrate his 34th birthday a week on Saturday, and a quick glance through the history books offers a glimpse of the odds that are stacked against the SPL new arrivals.
		On the day Whyte was born, Celtic thumped Thistle 6-1 in the League Cup at Firhill with Bobby Lennox running the Thistle defence ragged and in the process netted five of the afternoon's goals, while on the same date the Hoops reserves hammered Partick 12-0 at Celtic Park.
		While Lambie's side have made a respectable start to their SPL campaign they remain favourites for the drop and realistically, it would be difficult to envisage Thistle stemming Celtic's flowing form this weekend.

		I actually saw it as a game which, in the long-term, would be regarded as a major step towards our fiftieth Scottish league title because the players had managed to focus on the need to stay four points clear rather than get upset by the lack of cohesion in their play.
		The loss at Fir Park and the win at Firhill were both marked by classy players performing sh*t - but in Glasgow’s West End we had the focus sharpened by conceding an early goal.
		Alex Burns couldn’t miss but the Firhill striker was still fortunate to see his shot evade both Stef and Bazz on the line.

		So it was on Saturday afternoon as league leaders Partick Thistle stretched their advantage at the top of the second division to four points thanks to a 2-1 victory courtesy of a first-half winner from Scott McLean.
		Two full-backs and an ageing midfielder for a fiver, along with the bric-a-brac, as the sign might have said.

		While scoring goals away from home is a big problem for the club, their form at Firhill is what has kept them away from the danger area.
		They like to defend deep and invite the opposition on to them, but when they do gain possession it's essential for players like Britton to be able to hold on to the ball until teammates get up in support.
		It's always an occasion for his players to entertain either half of the Old Firm and in the knowledge that they'll be helped with a terrific atmosphere, it should help put another yard on to the stride of the underdogs.
