The League Cup final will be our 6th visit to Hampden in less than 14 months.
Must be a record surely?
17th visit in the last 10 years.
26th final
between SC and LC
I mind telling everyone to enjoy it while it lasted a few years ago, given that we didn't go once between 2007 and 2012. How wrong I was...
42,298--Sat
45,014--Sun
i don't understand why their was only 3k more at yesterdays game, St Johnstone only had 2k i think it was, we had 10K, i didn't watch much of saturdays game was their smaller segregation for that one ?
Just goes to show how much we've progressed as a club. Yes it hurts when you get there and fall at the last hurdle but the fact we're consistently there means the chance of winning increases greatly. Additionally our league positions are getting more consistent.
I appreciate that when you start to achieve consistently expectations increase but let's enjoy these moments, we're doing well.
Another wee stat about Hampden
We've only won 9 times there since 2000. 3 of those wins have come against Rangers
It was quite clearly built on the cheap, is too small to be our 'National' Stadium, and the seats behind the goals are ridiculously far from the pitch.
Apart from that it's not too bad.
After the Scotland game on Monday and our game on Sunday, we can definitely put to bed the nonsense that Hampden can’t generate a cracking atmosphere.
Build a new national stadium outside Stirling.
I don't think there is much wrong with Hampden . The view was fine and the atmosphere on Sunday was the best I've been in for a long time. (5 years!).
I watched a bit of the Spain v Sweden game from Seville last week. Poor atmosphere and the crowd looked further away from the pitch than Hampden .
My wife is from Bridge of Allan, just outside Stirling.
Having watched a few Hibs matches in local pubs there over the years, I can confirm that it is Hun central so would hardly be a neutral area for us.
Also, the pubs are thin on the ground and crap.
Its a no from me.
The constant moans about it being terrible for getting to and from are strange. The only stadium in the country that comes close in terms of good public transport links is Murrayfield. Then you’ve also got it’s proximity to the motorway and pubs etc. If you were building something from scratch you’d struggle to find a better location considering it would have to be in Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Was just reading the regs on this (posted by Billy Whizz on other thread). It's ...
- 20% to the SFA as owners of Hampden
- SPFL expenses deducted from balance
- 5% of remaining balance to SPFL
- subsequent remaining balance split 50-50 between clubs
Presumably Donkey & co will be busy scheming to get the last point changed in Celtc's favour. :rolleyes:
