I would be interested to see what they do with segregation on the tram and at Haymarket. I think with the tram at the Hearts - The Thes game they had one set of fans use Balgreen instead of Murrayfield IIRC (I suppose not too dissimilar to how they use Mount Florida and Kings Park at Hamdump).

Hope not I live close to Murrayfield.
Wasn’t a pleasant experience when they played there rugby fans are generally well behaved around the ground.

The thought of the SFA running the place it has to be said doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either .... but they do have Rod Petrie on board and if anybody knows how to run an infrastructure project its him
The only thing I would say is if they are going to revamp the east and west stands, please please don't just chuck up a couple of stand alone items ... as a national stadium the whole thing should retain a bowl style appearance like the Millennium stadium or Wembley .... what we don't want is just a larger version of Easter Road or Tynecastle.

For travel links alone, attendances will get better. Getting back to Edinburgh for a night game is horrendous.
Impossible to get transport back to Queen Street so you end up having to walk 4 miles. If you do end up walking, you’ll likely miss the last train.

Murrayfield is the clear winner so obviously it will stay at Hampden. Compared to other even smaller countries than Scotland Hampden isnt fit for purpoise wither as a stadium or for the appalling transport links.

Where would the SFA get the money to buy Hampden ?
They can’t even afford video technology in the game !!
Surely Queen’s Park will get more ££ from selling the stadium to a housing company and moving to lesser Hampden which has plenty space to redevelop further.
I see this going two ways..
SFA are really trying to buy it and they are more of a joke than I could have imagined buying something that needs extensive work.
Or they are using this to say we explored options and couldn’t buy so moving away.
The fact the SFA don’t own their own office space anywhere sums up the way the game is run in this country.

I don't know why people are surprised the GFA want to remain in Glasgow. I doubt Murrayfield was ever a serious option they were considering.

Would the findings of their review or study that led to this decision be publicly available to review, as fans we should at least get to see why this decision is in the best interests of the game. If it's not published then it certainly should be.

The SFA would never move out of Glasgow. This whole considering Murrayfield angle has been a complete cherade from the start.

The Record is reporting that the endgame wasn't just to knock down the rent, but to coerce Queen's Park into selling Hampden outright for not a lot of money. For an asset that's got a book value of about £30 million or so, and which is raking in upwards of £800k revenue per year from one customer alone, buying it outright for £2 million almost qualifies as theft.

The high level criticism from both sides of the Glasgow divide allied with the launch of a joint bid in an effort to maintain the West of Scotland power-base and recent threats of disbanding the sfa being aimed at McRae and our Rod tells me that Murrayfield was the definite front-runner until they intervened with other options now being carefully looked at. Never underestimate the underlying behind the scenes high level power games and politicking to prevent real change. Hampden whether its rented or owned out-right now appears the only likely outcome.
mon the cabbage!!!

Trains from Mount Florida and Kings Park are on different lines.
