A few notes from a qp fan... The sfa supposedly only paid about £3m of the Hampden deal, with the rest coming from haughey to develop lesser. The plans for a South stand were not put into place which means the capacity is only ~950, not the 1400 you mentioned. This also means there's even more capacity for expansion. If you ask any qp fan they'd tell you they'd rather be playing at a fit for purpose lesser, but any complaints we have fall on deaf ears (see the Gary templeman interview on footy adventures, good video). Also worth noting that lesser was in fact finished by the end of the first championship season and we played our first league home game against Arbroath there last season, before moving to big Hampden. Most fans assumed this would be so we could "finish" lesser, but no work happened. Farsical from the committee
Been to Hampden as an away fan with Berwick back in the day, and yeah, it's an abysmal experience in a near empty stadium where any banter is near impossible, and if I was a QP man I'd defo be wanting to have matches at a more suitable venue.
@@lewissmith350 Yeah, kinda. You also have stewards that repeatedly shout at you to sit down all match long despite the fact that there's no one behind you for at least 5 rows. It's really weird.
That's an interesting discussion. I lived in Zurich and Bern is considered the capital. Whether its de facto or de jure is irrelevant, it's the administrative capital with the government and foreign embassies. The national team plays in the Wankdorf district of Bern. Nauru is officially the only country without an administrative capital.
It's almost like they had two different factions in club management with conflicting goals. One faction in charge of building the team which had an aim to go professional and end up in the Championship. The other being in charge of building the stadium with the assumption that they'd pingpong between L1/L2, and neither faction ever spoke to each other.
It’s such an obvious case of mismanagement or lack of forward planning. Even if you only want to have the 2 proper stands at least have some terracing as a temporary solution just in case
@@CallumBlyth Right! Or even just deal with the fact that every game is a sellout for a while, and in the meantime moving on with plans to add temporary seating, or a more permanent one. It's maddening
Other than it's history of matches back when tvs hadn't been invented Hampden park has been an absolute embarrassment for a long time when we were growing up we lived in the high flats in mount Florida which was literally across the road from the stadium and we'd go down there and play football on the reserve pitch which was just before the actual stadium this was back in the 80s and even then Hampden was a dump they need to build a new national stadium or play Scotland's international games at either ibrox or parkhead if they want to keep it in a football venue because murrayfield is trash aswell
I love QP but the club probably progressed too quickly. We were promoted to the Championship almost by accident and in retrospect it was a relief we never went up to the top flight in 2023.
there's an historical aspect to that name which I'm glad is still maintained - at the time the Kilmarnock club was formed in 1869, there were no universally agreed rules of football and Kilmarnock chose many elements of rugby in their rules eg throwing the ball in perpendicularly at throw-ins, scoring by touching the ball down if it crossed the goalline (used to decide games if goals were level) - as opposed to Queens Park and the teams they inspired who adopted Football Association rules. Wasn't until the Scottish Football league was formed in 1873 that they dropped them. So the name wasn't misleading for 4 years
You could become the new Archibald Leitch with your sensible stadium plans. Make sure that you build a stand with multiple gabled roofs and a clock on the halfway line like the old one at Molineux which was made famous by Wolves floodlit games against the best teams in Europe inthe 1950s.
It’s a crap athletics stadium whether QP or Scotland play in it. When compared to the great stadiums it’s so far from them, it’s sad it’s our home stadium.
Loving the content mate. Just curious - which software do you use for editing? I currently use OBS Studio for screen capture and Da Vinci Resolve for editing. I want to incorporate more memes into my videos similar to you 👍
Build a proper football terrace in the north end, with cool crush barriers and stuff. A "kop end" could add perhaps 2500 to the capacity and would be fantastic.
@@SVD978 Yes you are wrong, the Taylor report was never law in Scotland, standing was banned in the top flight in Scotland under the 10,000 all seated rule but those rules have been "relaxed" (abandoned because they were daft) and now standing is permitted at all football matches in Scotland.
@@CallumBlyth they used to until BMO Field was built in 2007. They still periodically play home games in other parts if the country, but the National Stadium is BMO Field in Toronto.
I enjoyed all that. Much of it was new to me, but I rather doubt the SFA were ever seriously thinking about moving their HQ to Edinburgh. Just part of the ploy to get their hands on Hampden.
They have built a stadium purposefully for where they will inevitably end up owing to their poor management. Third or Forth tier. They just don't want to use it right now, because the 2nd tier have too many fans for such a small ground and they want to bring the biggest crowds in as possible.
@CallumBlyth doesn't increase the number of fans though. Money wasted. Not that I'm complaining. I just wish my club has £5M to spend. At least I know it would be invested well.
I mean i always hate watching football games at hampden unless scotland is playing there i didn't even watch a rangers game while we were at hampden it was always quiet
@@CallumBlyth No wonder the SFA did it on the cheap. They just wanted a training ground for scotland and really didn't care that one of the oldest clubs in Scotland still had to play in the leagues and accommodate fans.
Why didn’t they atleast build a standard terrace behind one goal and a temporary structure seared stand behind the other for away fans that can hold 1.5k atleast to suit big followings ? Can’t be that difficult
Does anyone know if the club has the money left to put Callum's plans in motion if they wanted to? The video suggests they will have burned through that £5m already on the redevelopment so far plus player and staff costs. Also why did they knock the clubhouse thing down instead of keeping it as a bit of history and to give the place some character? Surely they could have built round it if need be.
QP could realistically get there average up to 5000 is in the premier or maybe even much more as Celtic rangers st mirren would all bring a hoard or travelling support as would Hibs Dons n Hearts and Killie .
After the Commonwealth Games (if they even happen) should Hampden just become rectangular? Keep a little bit of running track for the memories like Murrayfield
@@CallumBlyth Hampden needs the kind of redevelopment that Wembley, The Principality Stadium and Lansdowne Road all had, with the old stadium being wiped from existence completely and a totally new stadium on the site arising. The oval shape is no use for football and totally unnecessary; there is no speedway or greyhound racing there. I have been to Hampden to both visit the museum and subsequently to watch an Airdrie match. It's not terrible, it's better appointed than Old Trafford, but everyone knows that Old Trafford is a tired and spartan stadium, and it's now rather dated (although possibly less than Ibrox, but I've never been to Ibrox).
The problem is they messed up the redevelopment in 2000, they went for a capacity that was too low and to expand it to correct the mistake would cost even more money that the SFA clearly don't have.
Don’t think there’s plans to use Hampden again for the Commonwealth Games - it’s going to be Scotsoun. Pretty sure the last time the ‘athletics build’ was a one off and would require exactly the same build again.
Murryfield and Hampden have the same issue that sitting behind the goal is quite a distance from the pitch. Rugby pitch dimensions cause an issue with it.
@@CallumBlyth Yeah makes sense, I mean I've never been to Hampden so I have no idea but it looks really far away at the ends. Ultimately a purpose built facility will always be better, I just don't understand why stadiums are ruined with athletics tracks just for 1 event like a commonwealth games and then decades of a worse experience for the people actually using the stadium, crazy.
You missed out that the SFA and the SRU are in talks again about sharing a stadium and that the new new new Hampden Park is falling down as is Murrayfield stadium!
@@CallumBlyth It probably was after you made the video. Rumours are that they are in talks about moving to a new 80,000 stadium built around Edinburgh Park station and the Gyle shopping centre as all the office space is empty.
@@CallumBlyth it would be ideal as there’s Edinburgh Park on the main Glasgow/Edinburgh line and the tram Edinburgh Gateway to connect with the east coast line.
The problem is that Queen's Park got blackmailed by the SFA to sell Hampden to them on the cheap, otherwise they'd have moved all the Scotland games to Murrayfield and left a giant maintenance bill on a 52k capacity stadium for the then-amateur club to pick up. That would have ruined them. Lesser Hampden is a complete missed opportunity, especially when the SFA did it up on the cheap. £3m for a stadium is ridiculous, for context my local community rugby club has been offered a new 7m capacity ground and clubhouse by developers.
Switzerland have a capital city - it's Berne. And no need to apologise re Taiwan/Chinese Taipei. Everyone knows that the island is called 'Taiwan'; it's only China who refer to it as 'Chinese Taipei' - no one else does.
@@TonySpike ...this is what a 'capital city' is! - it's overall adminstration central eg. Washington DC, London, Paris, Rome, The Hague etc. Zurich may be its financial capital, but when you say the phrase 'capital city', most people think you mean the 'administrative' capital city (where a country's government is based)......even if this city is not a country's financial capital. So in that respect, yes - Berne is Switzerland's overall capital city.
The problem I think is that there are actually two national stadiums and relying for cost stability on the long-term growth of a non-Premier League team as the principal tenant who hold the tenancy for mostly historic reasons and don't appear to have a plausible strategy to both get into the PL and stay there, thus necessitating a larger ground, is unwise. QPR seem to be in the position that Queen of the South (who have ZERO chance of replacing their clapped out, crumbling grounds) were in about 2014/15 promotion to the Premier League was plausible but the club was in that close but no cigar zone and lacked any sort of vision for what to do if they actually made it and worse, survived there. I don't think anyone took the idea of QPR in the Championships seriously at the time, which is a serious lack of foresight to me. Using the National Stadium as a club ground does undermine the notion that it is a National Stadium and provides a counter-narrative that its really just QPR Park and the SFU are allowed to use it when their tenant's don't need it. From a branding and financial point of view, the deal no matter how it is looked at, is messy, not really satisfactory for either party and forced by the need to try to do two things at once but neither particularly successfully or sustainably. Ultimately, irrespective of what the future of QPR actually is, we don't actually need both Hampden and Murrayfield, that makes the financial situation of both unnecessarily complex given how how easily adaptable a football ground is to convert to hosting rugby or American and Canadian rules football (see the use of football venues for NFL games in London) and vice versa. The English with their much bigger population and tax-base can afford to run Twickenham and Wembley as separate entities and rent themselves out as an when they are required without having to worry about these very issues. This suggests a lack of actual fore-thought on the part of funding agencies, including the Millennium Commission who funded this most recent version of Hampden and that we are a bit of an outlier compared to most other places who have some sort of gridiron based game alongside soccer. Politically yes, trying to get the SFA and SRU to agree to share a ground would be sensitive and the cultures that underpin both games are different, but it would largely address a lot of the financial issues for both organisations and necessitate QPR's use of the much more suitable Lesser Hampden full-time whilst freeing up Murrayfield for refurbishment and redevelopment to account for flexible seating capacity needs (let's say 30,000 as standard allowing for more attendence at matches, with extra levels opening out for special events) as an answer for the Edinburgh team's longer term issues with their grounds, whilst still providing a viable source of income as a concert and events venue.
