    I like Hampden as well to be honest and if we are being selfish, it's easier for me to get to. Lots of good and bad memories of the place. Edinburgh being the capital means nothing.

    I don't know if the logistics would be so good when it's a final and 60k Aberdeen and Sevco fans are going.

    As Mason points out, if they demolish Hampden it'll end up funding Ibrox and Parkhead. Murrayfield will never be used as our national ground for obvious reasons.

    The view from the lower tier was sh1te, the seating rake is far too shallow. There wasn't enough catering facilities available for us - I'll bet the egg chasers don't have that problem.

    The traffic congestion was bad at Dundee and Queensferry with us taking 6,800 there so fvck knows how bad it would be if we ever had to go there for a semi or a final.

    Its still preferable to Hampdung though.

    It's all about opinions, but not this one.

    The Dundee jam was bizzare, it stopped after the Morrisons traffic lights, almost as if the timings had been changed, because at the top of the hill at the Shell garage, there was no queue. Regardless, this was far far worse than the Parkred jams, but can't at all reflect on Murrayfield v Hamdump because fans will travel through Dundee for both.

    For the QC, it's still suffering from bridge tourists which killed us yesterday, but otherwise getting to Murrayfield is much better than getting to the celtic end/sevco end stadium imo

    I agree. I had no alternative than to leave at 11am yesterday which was always going to be an issue so I had no problem with either delay in Dundee or Queensferry.

    But, on the stadium itself, works for me. Slight bottle neck as we exited the stadium and crossed that bridge but not a major issue. And the upper stands are miles away from the pitch but what is the alternative? There is none, if you want a 70K stadium then most folk will always be miles from the pitch.

    Hampden is a joke of a stadium, built to appease the Weegies. You don't need a national stadium as such, play the semis and finals where they logistically and geographically need to be, and move the internationals around, based on supply and demand and who the opposition is.
