And no doubt with one eye on the SFA nonsense about buying Hampden The op post talks about lowering the pitch. I agree with you both. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hospitality viewing in the Sandy Jardine stand might need to be sacrificed. As far as I'm aware they won't be changing the angle of the seating, personally I'd rebuild the Copland Front (and Govan East Corner) terracing changing the angle and putting in proper 2 step terracing so safe standing could be installed with a 1.5 - 1.8 ratio, installing safe standing at a ratio of 1 - 1 is pointless as you actually end up with a slightly lower capacity. The Argyle House Hospitality willl absolutely be changed from the current set up to a more modern style, the glass boxes will be gone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
