The sad fact is, there is no sense at all in building a new stand at Firhill.
Even the PropCo plans of the recent past would be a bad idea, putting in flats as well as a small stand. This kind of piecemeal building will degrade the overall value of the land. It's already happened with the student flats being built.
Yesterday we were sitting in a stadium around three quarters empty. I don't think anything will change the downward gradient of attendances.
Scottish football needs to take a serious look at itself, and forget the halcyon days of yore when people didn't own televisions and there were no other options for entertainment.
A small, multipurpose stadium with an artificial all-weather pitch is what's needed. A centre that can host multiple sports to be of benefit to the community - football, rugby, hockey, whatever, maybe a swimming pool, etc. Some place that will be used all the time, all the year round. A grandstand with five thousand seats inside an indoor arena perhaps.
