Structures

The ground currently comprises three seated stands, as well as an old terracing, which is now unused. The main stand, running along one side of the ground, is the oldest of the stands. In January 2006, the club announed that this stand would no longer be used on matchdays due to high stewarding costs. All home fans are now housed in the stand opposite, the Jackie Husband Stand, an impressive large cantilever stand which was built in 1994. 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. Originally, it only ran for two thirds the length of the pitch and was nicknamed "The Viagra Stand" by the fans, because it was only half-erect. It was extended in 2003 so that it ran the full length of the pitch. It replaced a former terracing. Opposite is the South Terracing, almost identical to the former North Terracing. Thistle have announced that they plan to demolish this terracing to make way for another new stand. It is unclear, however, when this will take place. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...
