I wouldn’t have thought there’s anything to stop us playing there during the week although I’d imagine the SPL &!PT would have to agree to that. Then afain, I may be talking utter keek.

If the SRU are serious about hosting Domestic semi/finals and Scotland internationals, they will make the Thistle game happen. Otherwise they’re basically saying to the SFA, ‘can only host football when there’s no rugby on’. League cup final - 26th Nov scotland vs Australia rugby - 25th Nov The SRU need to show it’s doable.

It's not likely at all that there would be a surprise need for murrayfield at a few weeks' notice like we're talking. By the way, the league cup is nothing to do with the SFA, there's a clue in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if it was to be thrown on them 2 weeks before hand and immediately after one of the most eagerly anticipated autumn internationals in a decade then I can understand why it would be a push.

The problem is I don’t think for a minute the Sfa has any intentions of moving away from hampden. They attended murrayfield simply because they are due to enter negotiations with hampden’s owners. Tend to agree although I really hope that an agreement can be reached with Murrayfield which is a much better venue than Hampden, the latter of which is difficult to get to for most fans, offers poor views and facilities and has a smaller capacity. In short Hampden is a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like wall murals, as long as they're not political in nature. It wouldn't cost much at all to get done - I lived in DC for a while and they're everywhere. Actually really brighten up a lot of neighbourhoods with the most combining some sense of the community and art. I'd like to see some more in Edinburgh tbh.

In the grand scheme of things it will be well worth it. It's not as if we build new stands on this scale very often. Might as well make it worthwhile.

Walter Bishop Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Would be good if we could see some Hearts legends on the mural. Since the plastic pictures that were dotted around the ground were taken down there is not really anything around the ground anymore.

Lease at Hampden runs out in the not too distant future (2020 or something like that), so a decision will be made at some point. It wasn't too long ago that the SRU were having issues with the cost of maintaining Murrayfield. Since then, I think they've managed to stabilise that a lot more and the proposal for the hotel where the current east stand turnstiles are will certainly help. However, splitting any costs with the SFA would still be hugely welcomed I imagine. With Oriam being at Heriot Watt, a move to Edinburgh an SFA move to Edinburgh isn't as unthinkable as it once was.

Buffalo Bill Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The finished mural will be divisive, there is absolutely no doubt about that, but ultimately, it will bring a bit of colour to an otherwise drab, gable-end wall. I also hope we can continue the mural past the gable wall and along the boundary wall toward the Gorgie Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
