Celtic at Murrayfield?

[BH Hibs]

Just seen a story in today's Metro that Celtc may ask to use Murrayfield as a temporary home next season due to the Commonwealth Games. Personally I'd tell them to piss off but any thoughts on them playing in Edinburgh?

I'd imagine the local residents will be delighted at this news!:greengrin

What's wrong with Ibrox then, it's only down the road for them ... :rolleyes:

Being used for the rugby I think.

Tell them to PO to Motherwell or St Mirren

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Whats wrong with Dublin?

[Beefster]

The Commonwealth games are only on for a week and a half at the end of July / beginning of August. The SPFL can just give them two away games in a row.

Champions League qualifiers - assuming they win the SP!

Think the main problems are CL qualifiers and the state of the pitch

[CorrieHibs]

Whats wrong with Dublin? :faf::faf::faf: They would feel right at home!

[3pm]

I'd let them - it'll open up the possibility of fitba being played there as opposed to the Hampden.

Am not advocating the use of it all the time but it'd be nice to have the option.

[overdrive]

I thought it was just the opening ceremony that Celtic Park was being used for?

[EK_Hibs]

I'm genuinely surprised that Celtic aren't considering the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

They wouldn't be allowed to use it for a European game.

[Don Giovanni]

The SPFL wouldn't even have to do that as Celtic will likely request a postponement of one of these fixtures in favour of some pointless friendly :yawn:

I can see this ending up as a decision for Police Scotland and I'd imagine that Celtic will get, what Celtic wants...

....personally I'd tell the Lesser Greens tae bolt.

I've no problem with this. Murrayfield is a far superior stadium to Hampden in my view and should be used for National football as well as rugby and anything that helps the case for football being played there is good in my book. Always found it ridiculous that our national stadium is not in the capital city.

[G-Reg]

They'd make a fortune if the went to Seville is there not still 4.25 million fans in the city from the 2003 final??

all of this :agree:

[Killiehibbie]

Let them and if we ever get hearts in a semi or final again no excuse for it not being at Murrayfield instead that hole they call a national stadium.

[bod]

hope the rugger folk rent them Murryfield then SFA or whatever they've called themselves will have to look there as an option if Hampden's unavaliable

Completely agree with that.

[clerriehibs]

If I was a celtc fan I'd be able raging, but I assume celtc must be getting an enormous swedge for this. Other than that, I don't know why celtc would forsake darkheid, giving up their home ground advantage, esp when it's only for use for a ceremony at the commie games, as compared to the 3rd or 4th biggest sporting tournament in the world, ffs!

[Scouse Hibee]

CL football a 15 minute bus ride from my house, I'd be happy with that bring it on.

[brian6-2]

murrayfield is a complete rustbucket they are welcome to it.

as for it being a better stadium than hampden................behave.

[NAE NOOKIE]

No way ... bad enough that there are glory hunters heading along the M8 from Edinburgh to watch that lot every other Saturday without giving them the chance to watch a home game on our bloody doorstep.

Hell I got bent out of shape when Newcastle Utd placed an advert in the Evening News a few years back inviting folk to buy tickets for some minor Europa League tie. Bloody cheek !!!

As for Murrayfield itsself .... I was firmly in the play football at Murrayfield camp until I saw Hibs v Barcelona there ... it aint a football stadium.

[just_joe]

It would please half there fan base who actually live in Edinburgh....sickens me.

[Beefster]

Bit silly hiring out their stadium then!

[Eyrie]

Simplest solution is for ICT to win the league this season and then Septic won't have to worry about the Champions League.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Its certainly a source of major annoyance for me, fuds!

Had some interesting "chats" with them too!

sure i heard back in mobray days at hibs that celtic had 6000 season ticket holders who stayed in and around the edinburgh area.

[hfc rd]

Please no!

[Speedy]

Or they can piss off and play another couple of their friendlies.

And all their grandads or dads support Hibs. I know a few Celtic fans whose dads support Hibs. They would rather win trophies though.

[Moon unit]

Will be good to go down and say...."Can a watch yer car then Mister"! ..

[IberianHibernian]

[monktonharp]

nah, give them cathkin park. jist doon the road a bit. they just need to cut the grass, shove in a few burger vans, hey presto.hame from hame

[Bishop Hibee]

I also know a few Hibs fans whose dad's are Celtc fans. Most are Hibees as they live or were brought up locally and would rather go to see Hibs with their mates than support a team from in front of the TV like their old man.
