Partick Thistle - club statement

During the course of last night’s match it became apparent that a number of away fans had obtained tickets in sections designated for home support. We would like to apologise to all Thistle fans and, in particular, to any that felt intimidated or uneasy as the match progressed.

 

Unfortunately, due to the exceptional circumstances of Celtic being able to win the league, interest in the game was higher than usual. We would like to emphasise that every possible effort was made by the club to ensure that any tickets sold for areas of the stadium designated for home support were not knowingly sold to away supporters and, anybody requesting Celtic tickets, were turned away.

 

Obviously last night was not the type of atmosphere we expect or encourage at Firhill. We will be closely reviewing our match day operations and sales procedures to help ensure that a similar situation never happens again. As part of the review process we will be liaising with supporters' groups to gather feedback, as we continue to try and improve the match day experience.

surely not. Celtic fans are loved wherever they go.

 

Aren't they?

Far be it for me to stand up for celtc fans, but 'felt uneasy or intimidated'?

 

Balls.

 

Didn't want Old Firm fans near them, yes. But stop hiding behind this simulated terror; Scotland isn't that wussy yet.
