 * I will take on this review. C679 10:34, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Prose

 * Lead
 * The alternative names referred to in the lead have no sources, and indeed are not mentioned at all anywhere else in the article
 * It is misleading to state "It has been the home ground of Scottish Premiership football club Partick Thistle since 1909." since the club have only been in the Premiership for two and a half years
 * There are three "also"s in the second para of the lead


 * History
 * Was the site purchase connected with the previously written sentence of "The club found some spare Caledonian Railway land in Maryhill, which became the site of Firhill."?
 * "The present main stand was constructed in 1927 and the terraces were improved." when were the terraces improved - in 1927, or before construction, or later?
 * "In 1986, Firhill became the first Scottish ground in modern times to be used by more than one team" what do you mean "modern times"?
 * "Ironically this criterion was later changed to only 6,000 seats, which not only allowed for the relegation of Partick Thistle, but meant they had spent much of their resources on a stand that under new regulations was unnecessary" the stand wasn't unnecessary under the new regulations, but having spent money on it was. Clarify wording


 * Structure and facilities
 * "The Main Stand was built with an original capacity of 6,000, but now holds somewhere closer in the region of 2,900 seats" What do you mean "closer in the region of"?
 * "There have been exceptions, however, including the Scottish Cup match against Rangers and the final match of the league season against Greenock Morton." When? Which league season?
 * "All home fans are now housed in the stand opposite the old stand, the Jackie Husband Stand. The stand is a large cantilever building, and was constructed in 1994 with a capacity of 6,263 and is named after former Thistle player Jackie Husband." This is fine but makes the sentence "The Jackie Husband Stand, opened in December 1994, is an impressive large cantilever stand which was built on the site of a huge section of enclosed terracing." in the previous section mostly redundant
 * "There is a small enclosure of terracing at the front of the stand." BUT the article also says "with no standing areas available." just two lines before
 * Future developments
 * "Thistle had announced plans to replace the disused terracing at the south end of the ground, commonly known as the "City End" with a new structure that would consist of a 1,000-seat stand as well as residential and office accommodation. However, planning permission from Glasgow City Council was not forthcoming.[6] Planning for a new development is ongoing." When? "had announced" and "is ongoing" mask the time at which these events happen
 * Other uses
 * "In December 2005 Firhill also became" Firhill became
 * "a victory over their Irish counterparts" who are they? The Ireland national Rugby League team? "Ireland" for short, "the Republic of Ireland"?
