Murrayfield the new Hampden Park

[Doon frae Troon]

SRU confirm interest in hosting Scotland and SFA big matches.

Makes sense to me. Hampden is an awful place to travel to and not the best for viewing.
Less attractive matches can be shared by other club stadiums.

65000 capacity is better than 52000 so yes, make use of murrayfield for football. Already 2 good football stadiums in Glasgow, they don't need Hampden.
Hampden cannot host ECL finals either as it's minimum 60k seats for that event, Maurrayfield could though.

Steamlining of sports management and sharing of facilities to reduce running costs in a wee country like ours makes sense, use that money better elsewhere.

Amalgamation of SFA and SPFL would be good too imo, dont need 2 governing bodies. #jobs for the boys.

Yep agree, Hampdens been a shocking stadium for atmosphere since it became all seater, if they wanted to keep it should have got rid of the running track.

Inbox and Celtic Park are both better and bigger stadiums for hosting matches in Glasgow anyway.
