Scotland How do we turn this around ?

[SimonG]

Edinburgh is more middle class than working class Glasgow...the east coast is generally. And cricket in Scotland? Didn't know Scotland had a national cricket pitch. I think we have one here (no idea where it is)

An athletic stadium in Scotland....probably too cold for it and it wouldnt be cost effective as few athletes train in a cold, rainy climate.

Since I am not very familiar with the history of Scottish sport, I have some questions.
Why are the national stadiums of Rugby and Cricket in Edinburgh, not Glasgow?
Why does Scotland not have a decent athletic stadium? Scotstoun (Glasgow) is an international standard stadium, but the capacity is only 5,000 and normally used by Glasgow Warriors.
Should Scotland go independent, Scotland needs a decent athletic stadium... If a decent large athletic stadium were to be built in Glasgow, Partick Thistle would be happy to move to that stadium, like West Ham United moving to the Olympic Stadium.

i assume that the national stadium is in edinburgh only because its the capital of scotland. im sure there will be a decent athletic stadium soon remember about the commonwealth games that are hosted in glasgow so im sure they'll have a decent one soon

So going by that logic the national football stadium is also in the capital of Scotand?

Nope.

Football, working class - Glasgow

Rugby, cricket, middle class - Edinburgh

Apparently they're gonna convert Hampden Park for the purpose.

Also, Simon, according to wikipedia, Hampden Park's prominence in Scottish football goes all the way back to it being a gentleman's sport - home of Scotland's first football club.

i want wanted to show you's this match of Glasgow vs Treviso it shows so much potential on what to come, Maitland i think is starting to play like he did in super 15 rugby which would be massive for glasgow and scotland and good tries were scored in the match too
