Whosthedado 1,500 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I didn't realise the '92 final was the last one with the open terraces. I was in the Main Stand that day and remember it being remarkably cold for the time of year. That was my first final as a 8 year old kid 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Their main stand has to have structural pillars put in place after each and every home game does it not ? Am sure I have seen photographic evidence. Apparently the roof on the main stand could completely lift off at any point in time so they have these pillars inserted after each game - seemingly the issue isn't there when people are in attendance as they weigh the issue down. Or am I just imagining things ? Am sure I saw that on here a few months ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The monitoring of movement is of a different stand. Edited November 6, 2017 by Uilleam 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,639 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 That was my first final as a 8 year old kid It was my first Scottish Cup Final (I was 13), although I had seen a couple of Skol Cup Finals already - Cooper's free kick against Aberdeen will live with me forever...I could hear the ball hit the net from the North terrace. I liked Hampden prior to renovation. It's sub-standard now though. I enjoyed Murrayfield but it did feel like a noveĺty venue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,429 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 There have been rumours of problems with the structure at the Piggery for a few years...I take them with a pinch of salt but would be quite happy if they are true. Yes, a lot of nonsense and wishful thinking has been put into the public domain. I am advised, however, that engineers are now monitoring structural movement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,259 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Why did their old board back in the 90's state that CP couldn't be re-developed? Maybe we're soon about to see why. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Murrayfield was excellent but obviously helped we won 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
