I remember going to Scotlad games as a boy on the North Terrace. One of my funniest memories was of a guy who, after presumably a few too many, decided not to bother goi ng down to what , at that time, resembled toilets ! He just whipped it out and went where he was standing. I clearly remember the space that opened up around him - there must have been a 20 foot empty circle around this guy who's only concern was not pissing on his unopened bevvy !! That night it wasnt just the national team that stunk.

Does anyone have any information, stories or photographs relating to Hampden. Maybe you worked there, played there, have old photographs or more photos from the redevelopment phase.

We would like to hear from you!
