Hampden or Murrayfield decision


Recommended Posts

Just picture the scene the first old firm cup final at Murrayfield and the football special from Glasgow Queen street they will be murdering each other before the train clears the platform.

The SFA offered QP £2m for Hampden(stop laughing at the back)

 

QP want £6m. The SFA don’t have £6m.Not to mention annual maintenance costs. The SFA aren’t flush at the moment.

 

So the choices now for the SFA if they move are hiring:-

1) murrayfield 2) San Giro 3) Ibrox 

 

1) would be a massive step into the unknown. A 67k stadium which would only get filled for OF games and another stadium where fans too far from pitch 

2) as I’ve said on here, structural issues with this stadium in the near future.  

3) the ultimate nightmare scenario. Begging Rangers for use of Ibrox

 

staring into the barrel of a gun springs to mind. Maybe a charm offensive with Rangers chairman might be a good start

They are between a rock and a hard place, all of their own doing. They decided straight off that no other football ground would be used, it’s either Hampden or Murrayfield.

They’ll try & stay at Hampden one way or another.Murrayfield is too big a risk to take.

If they left Hampden & went to Murrayfield & it didn’t work out they couldn’t go back to Hampden as QP would have sold it to developers by then as they’d need to repay £16m loans & grants.

You’re probably correct. They discarded the best outcome imo, i.e use other grounds.
