Gordopolis Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Murrayfield ain't happening. QP are selling Hampden to the SFA and that's that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Interesting to note that only St Petersburg and Moscow in the group stages of the WC produced crowds that couldn't be accommodated easily in Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not surprising, given only St Petersburg and the main stadium in Moscow hold over 45,000. Only games which have been notably short of capacity have been Egypt's games (except v Russia), and Panama v Tunisia... even then the stadiums were respectively 82%, 85% and 90% full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be just fecking typical of Scottish football for a move as high-profile as this to be done in bitterness and acrimony. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Peak SFA would be them announcing this, then turning up at Murrayfield to find nobody there had heard from them or made any arrangements to host them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 As much as it pains me to put up a link to this particular paper, Stephen McGowan seems to be the leading journalist with this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5984237/Murrayfield-cost-Scottish-FA-twice-Hampden.htmlIf the deal stays as it is then Hampden is cheaper. However the SFA have demanded QP sell up, else they will leave for Murrayfield.Some board members are for Murrayfield to avoid maintenance costs and use bigger capacity most likely for Old Firm games.For me, as it stands I don't like either stadium particularly. Murrayfield was dreadful for football with a shallow rake behind the goals in the lower tier and vast expanses of grass meaning it was hard to see the action. Hampden has similar faults behind the goals too. Both as it stands are poor options for spectators.However I look at the Welsh example. They moved to a rugby stadium and left within 10 years. Their example is one we should be very wary of. As much as having the national stadium in the capital is a normal thing, I don't feel Murrayfield is an attractive option. As previously mentioned it is poor for football fans, parking is grim and it is not going to be a big improvement to an already poor experience.Ideally we would rebuild Hampden or do what the Irish did with building the Aviva making it fit to host both sports, in a central location in the capital.What is everyone's thoughts on the above link and the best way forward? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
