Benny Factor Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 "In October 1895, The Edinburgh Academical Club decided that they were no longer prepared to lease Raeburn Place to the Union. In an attempt to overcome this blow, the Union entered into an arrangement for the use of Old Hampden Park, Glasgow, for the 1896 match v. England" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Scotland v England (Rugby Union)? Spot on. Scotland won by 1 goal and 2 tries (11 points) to Nil. Never realised that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Weren't NASA using Hampden that day to train astronauts, it's the only place on Earth with no atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Exactly where was the stadium situated (Powderhall/Logie Green I mean). Was it on the site of the old dog racing stadium? Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmaroon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Weren't NASA using Hampden that day to train astronauts, it's the only place on Earth with no atmosphere Sorry, but I can't agree. Hampden has no atmosphere when the OF play a smaller team, because they have 90% of the crowd and little opposition. Compare to recent games: * Hearts ve Hibs Semi 2006 * Hearts v Gretna Final 2006 * Real v Bayern Leverkusen ECL Final * Seville v Espanol EUFA Final. Atmosphere at all of these games was electrifying. But then again, you would not have been there, but believe what other tossers tell you. Said it before, JKB plays host to a lot of half-wits...

Preston Jambo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Exactly where was the stadium situated (Powderhall/Logie Green I mean). Was it on the site of the old dog racing stadium? Buffalo Bill . The staduim at Logie Green is now covered by Logie Green road (and houses). Hearts played at the old Powderhall Grounds not the one that became the grayhound stadium. The old powderhall is now a refuse site I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 The staduim at Logie Green is now covered by Logie Green road (and houses).Hearts played at the old Powderhall Grounds not the one that became the grayhound stadium. The old powderhall is now a refuse site I believe. If you look at the old pics you can clearly see an embankment at one side of the ground. This is the railway that runs from Waverley to Granton harbour up through Trinity. The old ground would be covered by what is now Logie Green Loan and other side streets.

FORTHCLYDE Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Preston Jambo has given the correct answer to where the ground was at Logie Green Road/ Loan/ Gardens. I went to the library a number of years ago and looked at all the old maps to find it. The number of people who insist it was at Powderhall are wrong. The other ground also nearby was the Royal Gymnasium now Scotland St park. I don't know much more but I don't think the park was there for a long period. I also don't know why it was knocked down. Has anyone ever thought of doing a Hearts tour for visitors? The Heart of Midlothian in the High Street the old Heart of Midlothian dance hall (find that) the Haymarket clock, the Meadows, Logie Green road, the old fence where Fossie stood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Veering away from the original topic, sorry, but does anyone know where the Royal High FP ground in Newington was? It was apparently used for Scottish district matches in the late 1890s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's worth remembering that in thosed days Hampden park wasn't the automatic choice for hosting the final. Saint Bernards had won the cup against Renton at Ibrox the previous year and Hibs 1902 triumph over Celtic was at the neutral venue of err... Parkhead.
