Season 2011/12
This was the last season the Warriors would play at Firhill Stadium, also the home of Partick Thistle Football Club. It was a largely successful season, with the club again qualifying for the Pro12 play-offs by finishing 4th. They played top team Leinster Rugby in the RDS in Dublin. They showed great fight scoring two late tries, but it was not enough to overturn Leinster's lead. The Warriors also had a good year in the Heineken Cup. Although they finished second in their group (again to Leinster) they failed to qualify for the HEC quarter finals, or the Amlin Cup Quarters as they were the second placed team with the lowest points from all the HEC groups.
