    Murrayfield. But my preference was to move games about the country.

    For a pure historical point of view its Hampden. I find it to be a really special place.

    I do however understand that perhaps we need to move with the times...but I'm unsure if Murrayfield is the answer.

    So...I don't know.

    A redeveloped Hampden with the goal ends brought closer to the pitch and Squared off and maybe made 2 tiers as well. Lower tiers made safe standing and uppers just seated.

    Same with the North stand, make it 2 tiers tight on the pitch.

    Time for a change

    The west have had things there own way for far to long, move it to the Capital.

    Unless they have a plan to fix Hampden then we need to move as Murrayfield is a better stadium and while it still has it flaws they are much less than Hampden which despite it's history isn't fit for it's purpose.

    A completely redeveloped Hampden. No running track, stands directly behind the pitch, expand the capacity and most importantly - buy it from Queen's Park. An amateur club owning our national stadium sums the SFA up. Oh, and stop giving the OF their own "ends".

    Failing that, Murrayfield.

    Being stuck outside Hampden for over an hour after the Ross County game becasue the police are no longer bothered about directing traffic was the final nail in Hampden's coffin for me. Even with the m74 extension getting in and out is still a nightmare. There will be issues at Murrayfield which is as bad as Hampden for proximity but it's a far better stadium. 20 mins by car also helps of course

    Murrayfield. To make Hampdump fit for purpose will cost £50m minimum snd that still doesnt address the access difficulties.

    Moving to Murrayfield leaves more money in football playing at a Rugby stadium than playing games at a Speedway stadium

    Ditch Hampdump and take the internationals round Murrayfield, Ibrox, Parkhead, Easter Road and Pittodrie based on what the likely crowd size would be.

    Is there any realistic chance that the switch will be made to Murrayfield? I'd be very surprised if it happens.

    If they ever think of dumping Hampden, they will need to find a base for SFA and SPFL to carry out the business?
    And for that reason I think they will never move from Glasgow and Hampden!
    The biggest problem with staying is that the amount of work needing done in and around Hampden would be so costly it would fast become untenable, and we will be in the same position in ten years time with no money to even think about moving!!!

    Purely selfish point of view I vote for Murrayfield. I could be there within 30 minutes and all done on my bus pass. Don't know what the views would be like as I've never been before.

  24. #23
    does anyone really think they'll move from the weedge? never in a million years is my guess! and im glad about it! they can keep they're sectarian bile where it belongs!!!

    Hampden. Can't understand the complaints about access?

    Kings Park and Mount florida are both within a ten minute walk, Queen Street and Central are also walkable. There's plenty on street parking and plenty buses and taxis available.

    Can you imagine 50,000 Huns descending on Edinburgh for a cup final, no thanks.

    Hampden redeveloped as mentioned earlier would be my preference

    hampden

    even at the Scotland win v England at murrayfield this year atmosphère was muted given how far away from the pitch most seats there are

    Murrayfield for me.

    Queen Street and Central are the best part of 3 miles away.... Not everyone is as keen on walking as you appear to be!
