Under SPFL rules, and in an effort to promote an entertaining and family atmosphere at all Partick Thistle FC matches, please be reminded that unacceptable conduct whilst at any Partick Thistle match – from home or away supporters – will not be tolerated.
Partick Thistle accepts a duty of care in respect of ground safety, behaviour at matches and damage to stadia to ensure that our players, officials, supporters and any other person exercising a function for, or connected with, the Club does not engage in unacceptable conduct at a stadium on the occasion of an official match. This includes all home and away matches played by the Club.
Unacceptable conduct covers conduct which is violent and/or disorderly and includes:
The safety team at Partick Thistle works very closely with Police Scotland and the regulatory authorities to ensure that safety and security is never subject to compromise and that fans receive the highest level of service in this regard.
Any individual who participates in unacceptable conduct at home or away matches will be ejected and/or arrested. Partick Thistle reserves the right to take further sanctions, including exclusion from the stadium, for a period of time or permanently. Police Scotland will also pursue Football Banning Orders.
Police Scotland and all SPFL clubs have a disclosure policy whereby details of “away” fans involved in unacceptable conduct will be passed to their home club.
Flags/Banner Policy
Large Flags/banners are allowed provided they are accompanied by a certificate from the manufacturer confirming they are made of fire retardant material. They will be subject to examination prior to entry to ensure that the flags or banners do not depict anything offensive.
Flags/banners can be draped over vacant seats at the discretion of the match day security team, however banner/flag surfing is not permitted. Also banners cannot be draped over and obscure advertising hoardings
Flags on poles – small flags on wooden canes are permitted. Please note that metal telescopic flag poles are not permitted.
