Our committee

I initially got involved with the DSA in its inception, in my role as board member of The Jags Foundation, acting as a bridge between them and the club, before formally getting on board. The last three years has seen the organisation grow from a pipedream to a fully functioning registered charity, with an active and growing membership and a management committee that is engaged and working hard to make "Firhill for All".

Being involved with the DSA has made me look at going to Firhill with different eyes, realising what I take for granted can cause issues for other fans, helping to mitigate these issues for fans attending matches, and engaging the wider community is why I and my fellow board members stay involved.

I have been a Thistle fan for over 45 years, albeit a Nomad for the last 22 years in Norway but still retain my season ticket. I firmly believe that being able to attend Firhill should be as easy as possible for all those that wish, regardless of background, health or mobility.

I am the secretary of The Partick Thistle Disabled Supporters' Association. I first became a Jags fan in 1989 when I came with my Granda and uncle; we sat in the Colin Weir Stand. Some games weren't great - 37 years later I'm still going to the games, with a real chance of promotion this season.

I have a real passion for improving the lives of disabled people. I have sat on the board of the Glasgow Disability Alliance, an organisation which fights for the rights of disabled people, and I hope to bring that experience to the DSA.

I'm Charlene and my roles within the PTDSA are Treasurer and Social Media Convenor. I have lived experience of both physical and invisible disabilities, and football - Partick Thistle especially - has been my life since I could walk. I have my Granda George to thank for my Jags obsession; he wasn't taking me anywhere else but Firhill. Once he took me to my first game in 2004, that was it! They've not been able to get rid of me since.

Being involved with the Partick Thistle DSA is both an enjoyable and rewarding experience - I love everything about it! In my spare time I'm either reading a book, listening to music, or looking after my animals.

My name is Annabel Bleasdale. I became a board member of the DSA in February 2026. I am neurodivergent and my aim is to make Firhill as accessible as possible for all fans. I am really passionate about raising awareness of hidden disabilities. I love watching Partick Thistle - even though you go through the emotions constantly!

Hi, my name is Gary Murray. I am passionate about adding to and improving the great things already in place at Firhill, transforming the ground into a safe, fully accessible, and welcoming space for people of all abilities.

I was thrilled to be included within the management structure, where I look forward to collaborating closely with fellow members. My ultimate goal is to break down all physical and mental barriers that stop people attending Firhill on matchdays, ensuring every fan can experience matchdays with independence, confidence, and peace of mind.

I am very dedicated to this role. I have a wide knowledge of a variety of disabilities - physical and mental - and as a lifelong supporter of Thistle I want nothing more than for people to come and enjoy matchdays the way I do.

I've recently joined the DSA to help support its work in making Firhill accessible for all. I've been a Jags fan for 67 years and counting (yes, I was at a certain cup final) and have worked in the NHS and Ambulance Service throughout my working life.

Health problems have made it difficult for me to attend Firhill at times, and I want - via the DSA - to ensure we make it as easy as possible for those with challenges to get to games.
