Murrayfield? ram it

[kennyc]

I for 1 hate the thought of ever playing that lot at their 2nd home.
semi/final/freindlies, NO WAY.
Any other folk feel the same??

[BurbankHibee]

Going to Murrayfield wouldn't bother me, it's more convenient. Going to Glesga is pain in the arse at the best of times but if it was Hibs and Hearts fans I would imagine it to be far worse and more dangerous.

couldnt agree more, murrayfield is the yams second home and the money would go to rugby, also hampden is the home of scottish football and its a day out, also ivan on the big pitch, lethal

[Shearer]

i feel the same. Murrayfield would be p1sh. Roll on Hampden!

[Broxburn_Hibby]

Hampden is a joke of a national stadium so why are people suddenly clamouring for us to play there,if the semi is played at murrayfield (which i very much doubt) then there will be more hibbies and it will be more convenient for the majority of fans.Just because the yams have played there in Europe a couple of times doesn't make a sh1te stadium.

[Hibee_Nation]

Hampden is where the pain started for me 1972 final lost 6-1. Hampden is where we will bury the ghost and win it.

Yes if we get to the final it has to be played there regardless which i have no problems with.I just don't understand this anti-murrayfield pish which has suddenly been started over the possibilty of playing the semi there

[Proclaimers]

Hampden is a massive pitch which will no doubt give us the chance to create more space for more time on the ball and for sproule to try and run riot.

Hampden may be critisised by some but for me it just has some sort of feel to it that makes it good for the game.

The Yams can ram Murrayfield up their erse and make the trip tae Hampden.

More than a month to it and already I am an emotional wreck.

Well see when you look at the likes of the Milenium Stadium and what Wembly is going to be like when it's finished it is a joke of a national stadium.With the amount of money spent on it i think its a joke that that was the best thing they could come up with With regards to stadia in Scotland it is the third biggest and this is the National Stadium C'mon man i know that it has a certain allure about it and i don't give a toss if we play there or murrayfield but what i can't understand is this anti-murrayfield stance that some people are taking

[geeb_75]

most of the yam team has never seen the place never mind played there, its a new team. but dinny care where we play still a bigger pitch which suits us

[MikeyG]

I'd be quite happy if it was at Murrayfield. Larger capacity means more hibbies in it. The pitch is wide and would suit our style of play.

No additional travelling costs and it would be bouncing. Hampden for me isn't a great stadium for atmosphere, but 67'000 at Murrayfield would be a slight I would never forget.

The saving on travel means more time in the boozer with the additional cash you didn't spend on travel turned into bevvy.

Win, win for me.

I still dont see your problem, the Millennium is superb , state of the art, paid for by football lottery rugby and anyone else who fancied puttin into the pot. Wembley should be good at 6 times more fkin expensive and 3? times longer to build.
A full Hampden is a fantastic stadium to be in, the only downfall is its location and Stormtroopers, i dont know what it cost but it is far superior to CP or Ibrox IMO

[Jamesie]

In terms of stadia Murrayfield beats Hampden over and over. I'd be happy to play it there.

Apart from the rugby bit we had the same sort of funding and we have a stadium that doesn't compare to it.

Also i have never complained about it being played at hampden if u read my previous posts on the subject.All i'm wondering is why there are people so dead against the idea of Murrayfield and are all of a sudden hailing Hampden.As i said before i don't really care where its played.All i want is to see my beloved Hibernian reach the final

im not implying you said you didnt want it played at Hampden,i just personally think its a great stadium (not a patch on Murrayfield), but i have been to Hampden on and off for the last 30 years and still think its the place to be for football. Certainly No Joke

mibee im jist an auld romantic

[Toolpusher]

Hampden's a red brick Glesgae hole.

[Bannox]

Get away wi ye, ya grumpy auld bam!!! ye dinnae like it cause its red brick

mind huvin said that it is in the weedge

[Toolpusher]

Ah'm also biased because ah can walk tae Murrayfield fae mah flat as opposed to enduring the train tae and frae Glesgae (hopefully wi' hundreds o' Jambos sobbin their hearts oot if that's the way it goes)

[Bannox]

Fair play.. Hampden is better for me as i fly into Glasgow






oh wait a minute i then travel through to Edinburgh just so i can go on the Bounce tours (back to the weedge)

[EasterRoadEH6]

agreed

[Seven Tattoos]

Presumably, anyone posting on this site is a supporter of Hibernian FC and would, presumably, want as many of his/her fellow Hibbies to be present at what I believe to be our biggest game since Reims in the inaugural European Cup in 1956.

Therefore I cannot for the life of me get my head round what I see as a petty, small-minded argument for Hampden over Murrayfield. Christ, it's no as if we've even got a good record there. I've been to Hampden with the Hibs on ten occasions (including the two away league matches against Celtic in 94-95) and I've seen us play well there twice. Both in league cup semis against Hertz' big brothers.

Two good reasons for Murrayfield:
- it's in Edinburgh, i.e. no long, delayed, possibly expensive journey and no weegie gestapo (their antics at Ibrox a fortnight ago must've come from the Idi Amin era Uganda polis)
- about 7,500 more Hibbies will get tickets

You know it makes sense, the chance to attend a Derby with a bigger crowd than the existing record 65,860 at Easter Road on 2nd January 1950.
