Off the pitch we are delighted to collaborate with Partick Thistle for our forthcoming matches by allowing both sets of season ticket holders and all youths free entry to both games.Hopefully the matches will be competitive and exciting for a bumper crowd, and the collaboration has a positive impact on the growth of our game."
Partick Thistle Women's FC CEO Caroline Mackie said: "We all want our own clubs to grow but more importantly we have a duty to ensure that the women's game flourishes from grassroots up. We look forward to helping to encourage this alongside Glasgow City with this initiative. We hope to see both sets of fans at Petershill Park cheering on their teams, for what will be two exciting games."
