Partick Thistle Women's Football Club, formerly known as Thistle Weir Ladies Football Club, is a Scottish women's football club based in the city of Glasgow. It has been the women's section of Partick Thistle since 2013. The club currently plays in the Scottish Women's Premier League 2, the second division of women's football in Scotland.
History[]
Thistle Weir Ladies Football Club was officially founded as part of the Thistle Weir Academy in 2014, having previously existed as part of the Charitable Trust for one year prior to that.[1][2] On 22 October 2018, because the top two teams in the SWFL 1 South (Hibernian U23s and Celtic Academy) were not eligible for promotion as subsidiaries of top division clubs,[3] third-placed Thistle Weir were promoted to the Scottish Women's Premier League 2.[4]
On 23 January 2019, the club rebranded as Partick Thistle Women's Football Club.[1]
In September 2020, a new management team made up of three Partick Thistle professional men's team players was appointed, with Brian Graham as manager, in what the club believed was the first arrangement of its kind.[5]
Stadium[]
The club previously played its home games at the Glasgow City Council-owned Petershill Park in the Springburn area of Glasgow. Due to the ground being closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, matches during the 2020–21 season are being played at Lochinch, the police sports club facility located within Pollok Park.[6]
