It bears no resemblance now to what it was.Hampden remains the second most significant stadium in Rangers' history and is still an iconic name in world football, as equally as important to fans to Scotland as it is Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Sevilla.
The calls for it to be permanently demolished always strike me as a little sad. There are genuinely few places in football that are as historical, social and cultural significant as Hampden. Renovate it, yes, but keep it where it is.

I also doubt there is the room in that area to create a proper huge stadium and the transport links are horrendous

You could have easily a minimum 70k/75k stadium on that land as you could bring 3 stands closer to the pitch and have an upper tier on each but the issue of the South Stand could cause it problems in the designIt bears no resemblance now to what it was.

That costs a lot of money the uk doesn’t do infrastructure investment . We can’t connect Glasgow airport to the city let alone the communties it somehow is expected to serve and we can’t connect Scotland to the rest of the uk let alone Europe and the rest of the world . Not enough people value it for some reason .No, it doesn't, but the national stadium should remain in Glasgow given that the vast majority of games played there involve Glasgow teams. My suggestion would be to improve the transport links.
Exactly. Go for a pint until the train queue dies down, or get a bus back in to the town. Or walk.The calls to get rid are quite often led by Yahoos which makes me highly suspicious. I think Rangers fans should think carefully about joining such a campaign.
It does need renovation of the 3 stands. Never understood the complaints about transport. It's not as if Ibrox and the Piggery are emptied quickly of 50,000-60,000 people. It's the nature of thousands of people leaving one place at the same time.
There were football specials in those days.Now you have a train every half hour or soFirst Old Firm game - League Cup Final 1970 - attendance was given as 106000 v Celtic
it has a railway station within a 10 minute walk at each end of the ground, and another 2 stations twenty minutes away (cathcart &crosshill), 2 bus routes on Aikenhead rd. 5 bus routes on Battlefield rd, plenty bus routes from Shawlands should you wish to walk over that way , and of course the M74 a mile from Hampden, transport options from this ground are much better than at most Scottish groundsThe calls to get rid are quite often led by Yahoos which makes me highly suspicious.
