Reading thread in another sub-forum about groundshares and noticed only licensed grounds in Glasgow/surrounds with 3G parks but not already 2 clubs are Hamilton and East Kilbride. We don’t actually know yet Communication (or lack thereof) from the club is a real issue at the moment. Leeann Dempster indicated in a media interview that something was lined up but that’s it. Hamilton would be a decent enough option given train connections to the south side, pubs nearby etc. Airdrie (again) would be a nightmare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton would be good for me but please not Airdrie and no way Falkirk or, more accurately, back of beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've a new manager who's just back from holiday and some of the players are still under contract until early June. At least we're better off than Celtic.

Fae_the_'briggs Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Excuse me for not keeping up with things, and it's probably been well covered in earlier posts, but what is the hold up with the move to Lesser Hampden? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Hampden Burn, or whatever it’s called, run under Lesser? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell from old maps but it looks to come from the direction of Mount Florida School towards Hampden. Sometimes nobody knows where these old culverted watercourses actually run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you will find that it is Jenny's Burn that runs under Hampden and it comes out into the Clyde near Shawfield Stadium. I remember doing hospitality at a QP game a number of years ago and the guy told us that it runs down Letherby Drive and runs diagonally under the pitch and that there is a manhole cover on the track at the Celtic end of Hampden and that if opened you can see the burn running underneath. He also explained that the burn was one of the reasons that QP bought the land as they tied the pitch drains into it and it saved them a fortune. I don't think that he mentioned anything about it running under Lesser. I think he also said that Jenny's Burn started up around Castlemilk/Busby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also mining excavation under the car park which is why it was said to be no good for building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard it referred to as Jenny's Burn - always Mallsmire Burn. A while back I saw a map in the Mitchell Library from the time of construction of third Hampden and it showed Mallsmire running as Dooflick says, think it would be roughly in line with the tunnel entrance at the West end of the stadium nowadays. A map I have of the area from 1910 shows Mallsmire Burn resurfacing in Toryglen, approximately where the back of the main Toryglen Football Centre building is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have made Tony Robinson chief exec instead of Dempster. Or Baldrick for that matter... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
