You’d hope there’d be some money made available. The utter idiocy from the cheek fans though (yes, I know) that neither of their stadiums are included as apparently they’re better is bewildering. Do they not go to games? Hampden, despite being shite, is better than those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden, despite being shite, is better than those two. Is it? Not convinced like. Apparently there is to be some minor improvements, but nothing exciting. I expect that they'll be putting up signs for Rangers and Celtic home ends, and painting them in their respective colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 By the time they have bailed out Everton, wasted several million on consultants who I thoroughly expect to then say redevloping Casement Park is not worth it so just move the Belfast games to London, given a large wedge to G4S to errect 1mile radius herras fences encircling all the grounds, and given Club wembly several licks of paint, there should be just enough left over to replace a couple of locks and/or doors missing from the other stadium toilets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting that we should, of course, just that the stadiums might be better. Ibrox is far better than Hampden for actually watching football, especially in the ends. The Tim dome also. If we could knock both of those down and sell the land, then we could do up Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee toon red Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) Ibrox in particular is 100 times the stadium Hampden is. Better accessibility, better potential to create an atmosphere and a better view of the game. I’d still knock the fucker down in a heartbeat tho… Edited October 14, 2023 by wee toon red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Think Hampden is only getting something like £15m, so wouldn't expect much. We should really be proposing that the draw is open so there's a chance we end up in a group that doesn't have Hampden in it. From an Aberdeen point of view, potential to rent our training ground out to someone for the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
