Our national stadium

[The People]

Absolutely embarrassing in this day and age
Especially with similar sized countries with much better stadiums and infrastructure

 

[Glasgowisblue]

It's a dump ..... just how it keeps on getting large events without any sort of stadium reconstruction or upgrades is staggering, it's one of the worst national stadium in Europe...look at similar sized countries in Europe with even weaker national Leagues that have top class national stadiums...ie Romania, Sweden, Hungary etc..

Totally agree mate

At the same time that the SFA were scraping together the loose change at the bottom of their drawers to upgrade that dump, the Welsh FA managed to build a world class stadium in Cardiff. The retarded Welsh managed it but we couldn't.

The Welsh play at Cardiffs ground. They didn't build the millennium stadium.

 

[bomba picante]

Was the worst ground used in the last Euros. Even Albania has a better national stadium.

 

[The Sultan]

I’m refusing to go back. The amount you pay for seats to not be able to see the game is astonishing.

 

[AchtungBaby]

The Welsh play at Cardiffs ground. They didn't build the millennium stadium.

They used to. Regardless, the Welsh still built that stadium at the same time the SFA "upgraded" Hampden from 19th century shithole to 20th century shithole.

There'll be famine-ravaged, poverty-stricken, war-torn third world countries that have better national stadiums than Scotland.

 

[Kinghornloyal]

They used to.

Yes buy they don't now. It was built in 1999 and funded by Millenium Commision Lotteries and debentures and loans. Not by the Welsh FA. The Welsh team started.playing there in 2000 and stopped in 2009

The £59m renovation of Hampden was paid in full by the Lottery

With a decent level of foresight and collaboration, Scotland should have come together with the RFU and headed to Murrayfield.

With some adaptation, it would be have been excellent.

Scotland certainly doesn’t need 4x 50k+ stadiums inside 40 miles of each other.

Shit hole mate,

 

[BlueHaze]

Been in the main stand a few times and found it passable,The rest is very poor.

 

[CooperBlu11]

SFA and SRU should just come together, sell off their stadiums and build one single multi-use stadium that is capable of not only hosting Rugby and Football but other events like Boxing, WWE, NFL etc.

Obviously the big issue is where to put it but still Scotland needs an up to date stadium with all the facilities that can attract major industries to come here instead of London or Cardiff.

The West is brutal.

North and South are passable at points.

Poorly serviced by the train and leaving by bus means you’re as well staying until the final, usually.

 

[Tin man]

South stand is decent

Edinburgh is the answer for that every day of the week.

It’s a far more attractive city for event hosts than Glasgow.

Murrayfield doesn’t need ripped down - it could be modified.

Its already hosted the previously hugely successful Scottish Claymores, so they’re no strangers to top American Football.

 

[Partickger]

Sitting in row H of the West Stand. View is shite.

 

[Avengers]

A total dump and embarrassment. I preferred it when it was standing, it’s actually worse when the seats went it. Needs bulldozed. Sadly it sums up this country and the chief decision makers over the years that we need to put up with.

 

[maboaza]

Was it not built as part of the "Millennium" celebrations?

Pretty sure we got the Falkirk Wheel.

I’d have rather traded Falkirk!

 

[watp85]

Probably a minor thing however they've ran out of pies in the West Stand at A6 at 1435.

Pin pot FFS

 

[bud_light]

I've been in the front row in the West Stand and it's horrendous.
The back row is probably closer to Mount Florida station than the pitch as well

 

[Jeff Portnoy]

I was at Wembley yesterday and was actually thinking of the comparison between the 2. Night and day.

Still is standing, particularly if you’re in the West Stand. (Rangers End)

 

[R-M]

Only area with a decent view is the new stand upper tier. Even then the toilets are far too small and it’s nearly impossible to use them without a long wait. Its an absolute hell hole.

Head for the Ibrox Louden.

 

[Latinoheat_72]

Absolute shit tip. Murrayfield is different level stuff.

You’re talking about little blazer wearing men in Scotland mate. You’d get more intelligent decisions from a group of 4 year olds.

 

[superallythe2nd]

Murrayfield is a far superior stadium.

What stadium in wales are you talking about ? Because the Welsh FA certainly haven’t built any stadium in wales.

 

[bud_light]

What stadium in wales are you talking about ?

Not been a good stadium in Wales since they closed Vetch Field

 

[GersLoyal74]

I'd sell it and invest that money in youth football, pitches etc.

Then just rotate round stadiums across the country.

 

[Gaizka_Mendieta]

It should be knocked down and all stands brought in closer pitch side. 60,000 capacity would be enough for it as well.

Most countries can manage without a national stadium

Wasn't the Welsh Fa that paid for it.

 

[TheOldFashioned]

Was it not the case a few years ago the decision whether to keep it as a national stadium or not? They never should have made the decision to keep it as such because it’s a terrible venue from which to watch football. Not that i care about the Scotland team but being able to play games around the country would have made much more sense. It’s only because the SFA have this inflated idea about the history of Scottish football. The Brazilians, Germans, English etc don’t give a toss about Hampden.

 

[maboaza]

Just checked and the Millennium Commission paid £46 out of £121 million. Still think they got a better deal

 

[Henry Hill]

Thing about a joint stadium is where? It should be Edinburgh but won’t cos of us and them needing to travel there together for cup finals etc

Strathclyde Park in Motherwell.I can walk there in a few minutes

 

[NE Cornerbear]

To give you an idea how much it appeals to regular fans, our club has over 60 members, all STHs, go to the games at Ibrox every game. When its a Hampden cup tie under 30% of our members are interested, if it a final maybe slightly higher, maybe 33%. And we are less than an hours drive away.

 

[DerHammer88]

Whenever they show an aerial view of the stadium it just looks like some leftovers from Chernobyl.

Dump. Even when it was renovated it still looked out of date.

However, it is the perfect visual representation of everything SFA related. Shite.

 

[Chief Rafferty]

Have you ever been to Windsor Park Belfast? Give me Hampden any day.

 

[Captain_Buns]

Just because another country has an even shitter stadium than Hampden, doesn’t make it any less of an embarrassment.

That's doing Chernobyl an injustice

 

[gm_06]

Absolute tip!
In the south stand lower and got dripped on the entire first half!
£41 to get soaked.

 

[Johnny Cash]

South stand is decent

What about the rest?

 

[EOS]

The end stands are terrible but as long as the suits are kept happy...

I was in the South Upper and the view was superb but I'll not be as lucky for the final.

 

[Crackerjack 12]

I was at Wembley yesterday and was actually thinking of the comparison between the 2. Night and day.

Going to Wembley is expensive but compared to the money wasted Going to our so called National Stadium I'd rather pay the extra.

 

[MrKatanga]

The South Stand at Hampden is superb, it's just the other 3/4 that is crap.
