I said at the time Hampden was redeveloped that it should not have been done.

It wasn't big enough, it's a terrible design, and it is in the wrong place in terms of transport links and car parking etc.

It was really only built to host Smeltic v Huns cup ties, but since it is smaller than either of these clubs stadia, why did they not just agree to play their matches at alternate stadiums?

If they had been serious about buildng a decent stadium, it should have had all 4 sides built to the same standard as the Main stand, they should have done away with the running track and squared the end stands nearer to the back of the goals. With no space constraints in the current site, a stadium of (say) 80,000 would have been possible (however, quite how they'd have managed transport links to handle these numbers is anyones guess!).

More sensible would have been, to have built it somewhere in the central belt (possibly near Stirling) with the M9 running near it and with rail links to all major populated parts of Scotland.. but that wouldn't have suited the SFA Weedge mafia!
