It removes any perceived bias towards Rangers and Celtic, and gives them a huge potential revenue, given the size of that stadium. It's certainly a better option than Hampden, which is so outdated. It has the added bonus of making my future trips to cup finals much quicker. The huge mistake they made was when they decided to spend all of that money on Hampden. It was a complete waste of resources at a time when they had better options. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,597 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I'm quite happy that the embarrassingly named 'Tartan Army' won't be setting foot in Ibrox. Murrayfield is a good stadium but not sure it's right for football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,410 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It is not just Ibrox; the piggery, too, and provincial grounds, as I understand it, will not have the pleasure of hosting, and gaining the substantial income accruing from, internationals, etc. I can only speculate that there is some physical problem which precludes use of the swinefold. I suspect that, if this is true (and we are told that structural monitoring is current), fhilthfootballclub will 'move' to Hampden, which will be retained as 'The National Stadium'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Giving money away to another sport seems crazy. We have three 50,000+ seater stadia and two are not being considered? The SFA are showing no commitment or encouragement to clubs who are trying to improve grounds. I presume that cup finals well also be moved? Will they have 60,000 old firm game travelling from Glasgow to Edinburgh? The SFA are again showing they are not for for purpose. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleam 5,410 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I am convinced that the SFA will not accept the SRU offer. There is an ulterior motive in all this, though, and it's all about what is best furrasellik. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
