rfc_watp 1,503 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hampden is out of bounds I believe for the cup finals in 2014 due to the Commonwealth Games.Where would the game be played then if (big if) we end up playing them in the final. Wouldnt be fair to have it at any of our own grounds so would Murrayfield be considered? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 They should have that announced by now and not leave it to the last minute depending on who is in the final. Well, that's what I used to remember happening, but with the present incumbants in the hierarchy, who knows what's going to happen.Maybe they're still too busy trying to find sponsors instead of worrying about the fans of the game think?

Inigo 32,526 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ask Peter..Haha.I seem to remember the last time Hampden was redeveloped we played 50-50 (more or less) split at Ibrox/their place. I remember a game where they had the Broomie and Govan stands. I guess it would be the same, whoever is drawn home being home.Don't worry, I took my wet wipes for my seat (it was, remarkably, still there) at the next game.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Playing the final at Forres MechanicsNahWe both played each other at each others grounds in cup semi's in the 90's when Hampden wasn't playable.Unsure how it would work for a final?Think Murrayfield would be good as that wouldn't involve us volunteering our stadium to the SFA or SPL for their cups. We couldn't tell them no at the start of the season then say yes when we get to the final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The problem with Murrayfield is that is not as flat as a football field as they don't roll it as much and the grass in longer. Then again, the Jambos played their Europa games there a few years back, so maybe it can be fixed up for an important game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic Park please" and whoever the moderator was said "that was only the toss to see who got to call first" ... Joe goes "ffs heads again then" .... it landed on tails - Archie says "Ibrox, please" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a game where they had the Broomie and Govan stands. I guess it would be the same, whoever is drawn home being home.The last game I remember was us winning 1-0 with Durrant scoring the winner.It was an evening game so it must have been the semi, I think.They also had the two stands that night and I remember one guy, in a suit, sitting in the front row of the club deck, pulling down his kegs and mooning at them. He was getting more irate as the game went on and the stewards went down and had a word.I couldn't quiet tell if he resorted to pulling something out at them after that as I was too far away. lolDon't worry, I took my wet wipes for my seat (it was, remarkably, still there) at the next game.

The Mongoose 1,007 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I cannot see the polis allowing an Old Firm game at Murrayfield (If the scum got there). 2 sets of fans travelling the M8 would be a nightmare for them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
