Interesting article about the original Hampden. It would be a shame if it was lost for ever. Hopefully a wealthy individual like Sir Tom Hunter or James Anderson will donate towards it. Should really be the SFA but they'll be skint.

The original Hampden - the first purpose-built football stadium in the world.

Flatten it, move the structure and the administration out of Glasgow.
Build an entirely new stadium and set up somewhere that's readily accessible for all of the country and create an administrative set up that is at least fit for the current century.

Was in there for a euro game.needs a good deal done to it.
The bar staff kindly took 1 of the lads & showed him the mural let him take some photos.
That sound worse than it was ��Last edited by bod; 08-10-2021 at 09:13 PM.

Interesting story. Though tbh I’m more interested in Cathkin park where we won our first scottish cup in 1887

It would be dreadful if this as knocked down. Hopefully a short term solution can be found and give time to sort it out properly. All the money in football and the first fitba stadium, or what is left of it, could disappear. That doesn't make any sense.

It usually pays to read the link.
Although it's the daily hate mail, so I won't laugh too loudly at the foxes paw.

If £150K can't be found to salvage such an important part of football history then it's the very epitome of knowing the cost of everything but the value of nothing.

The famous Hampden roar was lost forever when the stadium was refurbished, it's scandalous what we have in comparison to Wales. Originally Posted by 007

In a nutshell this thread is what is crap about Hibs.net
Posters don't bother to read the thread, just kick out with their preconceived ideas.
It makes an interesting discussion almost impossible.
This criticism isn't aimed at the posters on this thread it's just this thread proves a point.
The issue is far far worse on longer threads.Last edited by CMurdoch; 10-10-2021 at 10:18 AM.

Fair comment, I'm very happy to admit that I thought this was about the current site / set up that I'm not a fan of. Originally Posted by CMurdoch

Jumped to the wrong conclusion which is something I tend to consciously make an effort to avoid in life, and especially on here.

Nowt wrong with bowling clubs if they could just do away with the bowling, blazers and committees and just focus on very reasonably priced beer and early openings for football coach parties, which they do best. Originally Posted by Moulin Yarns

I did think about that one before I posted

Glasgow Council and SFA need to contact unesco ASAP to get the process moving. There are a number of rich benefactors that could cover the costs and save the site. Originally Posted by ScottB

I read the original post. And I've re-read it. It doesn't contain the answer to my question. All it has is a link to the Daily Hate Mail.

The current Hampden is the third Hampden built. Cathkin Park was the second and the one at Hampden Bowling club was the original. The club house roof at the original is in a state and they need £150k to save the place. Originally Posted by Eyrie

If you've ever travelled to Hampden on the train from Central Station (direct) to Mount Florida, you actually pass it.
There's a giant mural on the wall on the right hand side shortly before you arrive at Mount Florida, which is on the back of what is now a bowling club. That is the site of the original Hampden
Coincidentally, when you pass that, the site of the second Hampden, later renamed to Cathkin Park, is on your left (though you can't see it from the train)

We had a look at both before the game with Moldova. I brought the kids and needed some activity that didn’t involve sitting in a pub (my usual pre match ritual). Originally Posted by Keith_M

Amazing history. Didn’t realise that Cathkin park was where we won our first Scottish Cup).
