PARTICK THISTLE have been given the go-ahead to build a new 2000-seat stand at Firhill. Glasgow City Council have granted outline planning permission for the redevelopment of the south terracing.

Thistle plan to erect a seated stand and want to offset costs by installing offices inside the structure and generating regular income by renting the space to potential tenants.

Thistle cannot use the south terracing at this moment and the area was left empty during last season's Premierleague campaign.

lFalkirk have released two different sets of season-ticket and walk-up prices for next term as the issue over their promotion to the Premierleague rumbles on.

If the club fail in appealing the SPL's decision to deny them access to the top flight, the first division champions will play their games at Stenhousemuir's Ochilview when the new campaign gets underway with a home clash with Inverness Caley Thistle on August 9.

However, if the SFA overturns the SPL's decision at the appeal hearing next Wednesday, John Hughes' side will ground-share with Airdrie United and kick-off the new season against Dundee at New Broomfield.
