Worth it? It does resemble Hampden. There's not much of a footprint around it either... Should've done something similar in the 90s when Hampden was done up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never in the old North Stand, although I've been informed it was a dump. Had a google there and it held around 4500. For those fans who have never been to Hampden, this photo was taken in 1993. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the photograph doesn't show is that the stand only takes up slightly more than half the area under cover. Despite being the smallest Hampden actually has a bigger footprint than both Murrayfield and Parkhead, even including the area overhanging Janefield street. Personally I would move the Pitch 20 yards closer to the South stand and completely rebuild another 3 double tiered stands close to the pitch and open them to suit the size of the crowd. Money though. How long do you think it would take you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 That's got a bigger space behind the goals than Hampden and Murrayfield combined!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 What is their obsession with running tracks? I know they were probably more the rage back in 1992, and you open it up to being able to hold athletics, but it's not really conducive to a good watching experience for what was presumably its main function. I do like the very generic "fast food" stalls though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Only holds 41,000 though. In an ideal World we need 60-70,000 capacity over 3 closeable tiers. Lower = 25,000. Middle = 15-25,000. Upper = 15-20,000 in order for it to satisfy all needs. i.e: 25,000 capacity for LC/SC SF's between smaller teams & unattractive Int. friendlies. 40-50,000 for LC/SC Finals between non OF* teams and your typical Int. fixtures and 60-70,000 for OF* Cup Finals/SF's as well as key Int. matches. You're right though, Juve's stadium is a cracker and something to be modeled on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiresexsymbol Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 We should decide where to play Scotland games based on the votes in the independence referendum? Given that this discussion has produced plenty of bonkers ideas that one is right up there with them. I agree, what a total bellend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I agree, what a total bellend! Why thank you.However my point was semi serious probably more with regards whether there should actually be a Scottish national team rather than where the stadium should be. As much as I love Scotland and voted yes, bottling out of an indy vote should see us compete as team GB with the rest of the home nations. I didnt agree with much of Mr Blatters points but its hard to disagree with that one. *Awaits onslaught from tartan army members* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
