cooponthewing 1,139 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) You probably don't realise how close you are to the truth in that statement Are you suggesting that their shaky beach hut may be on the verge of structural collapse Rab? This being the case the mhanky ones would be sold Hampden? Then by default be playing at the National stadium? Maybe I have just perpetrated a spurious rumour......Whoops!

Uilleam 5,409 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The yahoos will be lucky to still be playing at Porkheid if the stories I'm hearing about their stadium are true. So the proposed "£20M+" Hotel, etc, development is an expensively assembled charade? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinstein 294 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It'll be up to Queens Park who they sell to. They are the owners...not the SFA or Glasgow Council. I'd take a football stadium over housing any day. The drawbacks when there's a game on outweigh the pressure on the south side's road infrastructure should even more houses be built 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just why would the SFA want to move games to Murrayfield ? You have to ask yourself the question 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Have they started building it yet ? When does construction begin ? No, but to get to the stage they have, involves not inconsiderable expenditure, which I don't see them committing, merely to smokescreen some jokery popery with Hampden, or elsewhere. As far as moving to the Mount is concerned, the local residents would be up in arms, and if properly consulted, would kibosh the idea.

Gonzo79 13,584 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just why would the SFA want to move games to Murrayfield ? You have to ask yourself the question It's all about money these days. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,254 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) It's all about money these days. Not sure they'd make more money at Murrayfield. Especially Scotland home games which don't sell out. And I don't think Murrayfield would come cheap from the SRU. And don't forget the SFA offices are at Hampden. Where would they move to ? The prospect of Ibrox being the only suitable football stadium(apart from Hampden) may be too much for some people.

The prospect of Ibrox being the only suitable football stadium(apart from Hampden) may be too much for some people. I understand it is costing Hearts £300k a game a lease Murrayfield from the SRU. I am guessing that all other costs still need to go on top of that. Personally i think Murrayfield is a great stadium, although only ever been for rugby. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
