Ormond Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hampden all the way. The Old-firm have skinned Scottish fitba' of enough money over the years without getting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hampden is a dump but its oor dump so hampden it is.That is all.This for me as well. I know that there's nothing the SFA can do, but the traffic for both recent games was a nightmare, can't be bothered with that again.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Another thing, look how the Welsh went about moving from the millennium stadium. They recognised there was a problem and sought an alternative. I just don't think we can say "ah but it's our national historic stadium" blah etc anymore because it's hardly been a fortress these last few years. We should be doing everything to gain an advantage.They only moved there in 90s I recall to get bigger crowds / satisfy demand v Germany / Rumania etcNinian park was always their home ; with a few games at wrexham too The new Cardiff city ground is the redeveloped ninian park ? So Cardiff arms / millennium in no way the spiritual home of welsh fitba ; in the same way neither is Landsdowne / aviva for Ireland ; as Dalymount was used even in 1980s until deemed too unsafe Hampden / Wemblee / Windsor have more of a history for respective nations Edited October 22, 2015 by Auchinyell Sox Change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Cardiff's new ground is on a different site to Ninian Park - very close to site of Ninian though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 In this campaign we played at all three, so after experiencing an international at all three Glasgow grounds - which was your favourite? For me, Ibrox won based on location, mainly it was easier to get there and back. I don't think there was much difference between all three in terms of atmosphere or facilities. Ibrox is an utter shitehole in a fkin awful area, Parkeid is a very nice stadium in a pish poor area both of which are a pain in the hoop to get to and from, Hampden is our home and for all its problems I love it.

deecie Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Cardiff's new ground is on a different site to Ninian Park - very close to site of Ninian though. Across the road. It was weird at the friendly at CCS when you could look at the half demolished ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Across the road. It was weird at the friendly at CCS when you could look at the half demolished ground.I'd like to have seen that - the only time I saw it (it was still the home of CCFC at the time) was when I passed in a taxi when I was down in Cardiff on business.

deecie Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 There was also a really good video at the time it was being built that showed the main stand being blown up, and once the dust settles you see the new ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Is plough lane still there ? It was in my 'manor' when I lived down there in late 90s ; most of it was as is apart from the weeds etc Bizzare place for a top flight stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for thatI mind the dogs being towards tooting a bit Did get one night out there ; pretty decent Spent first couple of years in Walthamstow , but funnily enough never made it there ; or the Orient Pretty sketchy area of London In moving to Wimbledon ; Fulham was easy to get to Edited October 22, 2015 by Auchinyell Sox Change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my doubts the dog track stadium move will happen, though few folk in the know are saying the Irish Guy who wants to build a new dog track has been privately waving the white flag as he has been saying that the council have told AFC Wimbledon they are the prefered bidder.... Council have offered a plot of land in Colliers Wood as a alternative. Aye, its just a straight direct road from Wimbledon straight up to Fulham (20-30 minutes on a bus IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanDave Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Parkhead-Ibrox-Hampden for me. Have said before would love a new stadium but think for now money is best served going into improving the quality of our game rather than stadia.

Toepoke Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Prefer Hampden, although leaving the Bull in Paisley half an hour before the Georgia kick off and getting a taxi to Ibrox in ten minutes was a good experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugitive Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Ibrox - purely because we were out and walked back to town in half an hour Hampden - it's where we should be but congestion (including pedestrian) is awful Parkhead - hate going here. I've only been late for 2 kickoffs and they were both here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
