Proposals to make Partick Thistle's Firhill a four-sided stadium An application submitted to Glasgow City Council reveals plans to redevelop the South Stand, adding almost 5% to the total capacity of Firhill. The scheme proposes building a new 450-seater stand, 79 residential flats, 620m2 football club facilities, 2760m2 of office space and 430m2 of retail space. The 79 residential flats would be a mixture of private apartments and social housing, with a provision for special needs housing for the local housing association. The proposals are identical to an application that received planning consent in June 2010. Tim Clark of ZM Architecture, which is handling the application, said: "The timescale for concluding the original consent has now ceased and our client wishes to resubmit the original application as they still have intentions to develop the site, which was interrupted by the downturn in the financial market in the intervening years." The current capacity of Firhill Stadium is 10,102 seats. The Main Stand was built in 1927. Directly across from it is the Jackie Husband Stand, built in 1994. Eight years later, in 2002, the North Stand was built. Plans have been afoot to build a fourth stand at the stadium since at least 2005. Partick Thistle was unavailable for comment at time of publication.
