TJF is delighted to announce, for the fourth year running, our Firhill Hospitality Takeover!
This season our fan ownership day will take place on Saturday 9th January 2027, at the home league tie against Livingston at Firhill. This is a great opportunity for members to celebrate the New Year in some style while backing Mark Wilson and his team onto victory (we hope).
How it works 💡
Each year TJF chooses a home tie at Firhill where traditionally hospitality uptake is expected to be lower than average. We then book out the full Alan Rough lounge, guaranteeing the Club full value for the day, and sell places via a ballot (and at a significant discount) to our members.
On the day, parts of the hospitality experience will be given a TJF twist, making for a great day out and a thank you for your support. Fundraising initiatives around the day, as well as ticket revenue, help TJF to recoup some of the costs, and to top-up our total annual contributions to the Club beyond our core of £179k of pledges for the season.
This year's deal 🤝
The Takeover Hospitality package this year includes:
a delicious two-course meal provided by the Club’s premium catering partners, Regis Banqueting
your matchday ticket in the padded seats of the Jackie Husband Stand
an all-inclusive drinks package (pre and post-match)
half-time refreshments including pies, teas and coffees
the chance to mingle with some Thistle legends past and present
There will also be some unique TJF twists to the afternoon, including, games, fundraising and prizes to be won in the room!
How tickets will be allocated - the ballot 🎟️
If you are a TJF member and you want to be in with a chance of a place at the Takeover, please enter the draw using this form. The deadline for entering the ballot is Sunday 22nd November at 10pm.
More than 350 members have already participated in at least one Takeover Day. As with last year, we want to make sure places are allocated fairly across as much of the membership as possible.
As with previous years the draw will therefore first give priority to those who have never attended a Takeover Day, then to those who have only attended one (and so on). Full details on the ballot are in this morning’s members’ email.
If you are successful on the ballot, you will be notified by email on Monday 23rd November and asked to pay for your place by Thursday 26th November.
Should there be any remaining spaces after the ballot has been exhausted, there may be an opportunity for TJF members to purchase further tickets via the TJF website.
Everyone can take part 🌍
There will be other opportunities for the wider membership, including those further afield, to take part in the TJF Hospitality Takeover fundraising campaign. This will include a series of auctions and a membership-wide raffle and prize draw.
More announcements to follow on these soon!
