Glasgow Warriors ground share with local football side Partick Thistle.
The capacity is 10,887 and currently comprises of three stands, with an unused area at the south end.
The main stand, running along one side of the ground, is the oldest stand. It holds somewhere in the region of 2,900 seats. There is a small enclosure of terracing at the front of the main stand.
All home fans are now housed in the stand opposite the main stand, the Jackie Husband Stand. This is an impressive large cantilever stand which was constructed in 1994 with a capacity of 6,263 and is named after former Thistle player Jackie Husband.
The North Stand is the newest and is situated at one end of the ground. It was extended in 2003 so that it ran the full length of the pitch with a capacity of 2,079. The construction of this stand was assisted by the sale of some land to allow the construction of student flats which now lie behind the stand.
Partick Thistle had announced plans to replace the disused terracing at the south end of the ground, commonly known as the “City End” with a new structure that would comprise of a 1,000 seat stand as well as residential and office accommodation. However, planning permission from Glasgow City Council was not forthcoming, and it is currently unclear what the club’s next move will be. Nevertheless, they have pressed ahead with the demolition of the former south end and that section of the ground is now completely removed.
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. Rugby League, very much a minority sport in Scotland, has returned to the ground on several occasions since, including for the 2000 World Cup.
During the 2005/2006 Celtic League season, the Glasgow Warriors played their home games at Firhill, moving from their previous base at Hughenden.
