Hotels near Firhill Stadium
Glasgow Warriors return to Firhill Stadium to ground share with local football side, Partick Thistle. The current capacity of the all-seated ground is 10,887. The ground currently comprises three stands, with an unused area at the south end.
The main stand, running along one side of the ground, is the oldest of the stands. It was built with an original capacity of 6,000, but now holds somewhere closer 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 built on the site of a huge section of enclosed terracing nicknamed "the Shed" by supporters of Partick Thistle. The stand was constructed in 1994 with a capacity of 6,263 and is named after former Thistle player Jackie Husband.
The newest stand is the North Stand, at one end of the ground. This was built in 2002 to meet the Scottish Premier League criteria on stadium capacity, which stated at the time that member clubs must have 10,000 seats in their ground. Ironically this criteria was changed at a later date to only 6,000 seats, which not only allowed for the relegation of Partick Thistle, but meant they had spent much of their resources on a stand that under new regulations was unnecessary.
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.
