Love Street (St Mirren's old ground) didn't get sold to Tesco. That was proposed at one time, but eventually it went to housing development. The new streets built there are mostly named after former St Mirren players.

[@Ishapian]

Iirc it was sold to Tesco for retail development, but they only did to stop Asda purchasing the land. Then Tesco sold it to a housing development

It holds the record for the highest attendance European Cup match of all time. (Celtic v Leeds United, European Cup semi final 1970) Also the record for the highest international match ever played in Europe. No one can match that! 😊

The main stand at Ibrox is in fact a listed building. Also, Rangers have plans to redevelop Ibrox stadium at some point by increasing the seating capacity. Not really sure what the intended seating capacity is at the moment.

Queens Park have moved back into the national stadium, Hampden Park,for seasons 2023-24 and 2024-25! They plan to move into the new "City ground" (Lesser Hampden) for 2025-26! Then,Glasgow will have the 2 closest football grounds in the world! (see 5mins,57 secs)

[@thesmithersy]

Because the SFA essentially blackmailed them into selling it, threatening to leave and leaving a (then) amateur club with the bill for maintaining a 50k capacity stadium.

[@santoy1000]

Mon the spiders 🕷️🍀

[@gordon1545]

@@thesmithersy That's not how blackmail works. Queen's Park did very well out of owning the stadium and charging the SFA for use of it but it was about to become a burden to them. It suited both sides for the sale to happen and it has removed a looming liability for Queen's Park that they're ill equipped to handle.

[@thesmithersy]

@@gordon1545 It only would have become a burden had the SFA acted on their threat and moved to Murrayfield.

[@Del_S]

Paisley isn't a city by UK standards. It may be larger than even some UK cities (St Davids in Wales has a population of about 1710, so if sixty people stay home the rest can fit into the SMiSA away stand's capacity of 1650), but it's still only a town, in no small part thanks to Glasgow's proximity making efforts at city status mean that the performative nature of awarding it generally means they want to put new cities in places further away from existing ones.

[@tdyerwestfield]

Hampden Park isn't far from closing down. It's not been looked after and isn't used enough. I think Euro 2028 might be the last time it's really used before all the big cup games and national sides move somewhere else like Murrayfield.

[@gordon1545]

Hampden is nowhere near closing down, the SFA bought it and are committed to it. It gets used plenty, it hosts 4 cup semi finals and 2 finals every year, plus around 7 men's internationals and a similar number of women's internationals, and while Queen's Park are in the second tier they're still based there. It also gets more concerts than Ibrox or Parkhead. The offices are home to the SFA, SPFL, SWPL, SWFL and a few others, and it hosts the Scottish football museum. It badly needs modernised around 3 sides but sadly the money isn't there to do it.

[@Philliben1991]

Hampden Park is better than Celtic Park. Celtic Park you can barely see the pitch from some areas, last time I was there I was sold a ticket for a seat that had been ripped out and the stadium internals are a bit shoddy and cheap. And I'll no doubt be accused of being a Blue Nose now, which I can assure you isn't the case, but Ibrox is an absolutely fantastic stadium. Shame about who fills it up though....

Hampden park was smaller than Maracaná in the mid XXth Century

[@gordon1545]

Yes, until the Maracana opened in 1950 Hampden was the biggest stadium in the world. It still holds all the European attendance records - domestic, international, European competition, finals, even amateur matches.

[@celt67]

Not much smaller. Hampden Park was once measured to hold 184,000. The official Maracana capacity was 199,000. Crowds ranging between 130,000 and 145,000 were standard back in the 1930s-1970s at Hampden Park. ( And even they were often rumoured to have crowds rushing turnstiles allowing for 10-15,000 additional people at some of the game ). Glasgow holds all the European attendance records.
