It's well documented about panels blowing off, remember "super caley go ballistic"? That was a re-arranged game after the first one was postponed amid safety concerns around the stadium. A game last season, or season before also called off due to bits blowing off the stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind if i ask where you found this information? Is there articles on this? from memory it wasn't built to last the same as other stadiums. I'm sure 25yr was it's expected lifespan almost pished myself one day while listening to talk sport about 10yrs ago when some declan fud was going on about the fantastic design of the giro dome and how it moved with the crowd.something to do with the poor quality of the materials used in construction more likely The media bandwagon is in full flow to get the Scotland games around the grounds .ibrox is allegedly part of the grand plan but no way if there's a big match they will opt for ibrox.the argument that they can sell 10k more tickets will be peddled and the smaller games will be handed to to hivs and sheep Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carling1873 1,404 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If memory serve me correctly; the Piggery was built on a brown field site (a piggery), the land was filed with so much shite material it can't take the weight hence the reason the front is lower than the rest. Also apparently after the games props are used to strengthen some of the stands as without the additional weight they become unstable. There is something odd about who actually owns the park, think its not owned by any of their company's, so it's the structures around the ground they own and pay rent for the playing surface.

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hampden is a shithole and Scotland would do good to get it to fuck. Ibrox and Parkhead can get the top 2 teams, Easter Road, Pittodrie and Tannadice can have the rest of the shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought it for a measly £1000 back in 2000, then a year later it was offered to the Co-op bank as security on a loan. Definitely something suspicious about that.

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 in what way is Hampden not fit to be the national stadium? I know it's a shit stadium to watch a game but it's been like that since it was rebuilt so is there something structurally wrong with it or is this just the taigs shit stirring?

With celtic ceo now on the sfa game board it's only a matter of time till he pushes parkhead as the new national stadium, they ain't building a hotel next to the scum dome for no reason, this man has no shame and will stop at nothing. Thoughts? Spot on . This is not the work of one man though .This is an established order now While our clueless cunts running us sleep . The nepotism and corruption is still in full swing .
