u all talk about better football, but in my eyes, the best football is winning, no matter how you do it. u could pass beautifully on a nice flat artificial surface, play beautiful football but get done 13-0. 'no danger power ranger, played some excellent stuff today but we got gubbed 13-0.' i think the tatty field helps us. a nice synthetic surface would help a lot of teams, but i think when teams come and see how bad firhill is and the desperately have to try, rethink their gameplan to fit in how bad it is it will help us. i think the tatty field makes it part of what is great to be a thistle fan, one to tell our grandsons about how the rugby buggers used it on a friday night and turned firhill into passechdale and how we used it to our advantage to gazump teams to get into the premier. i say no to artificial surfaces, firhill is grass, mud and howitzer craters and i want to keep it that way
