When you think that Roma, and Lazio, and Inter and Ac Milan share without major problems, is it a mentality thing.?

they dont own their stadiums though, but a very good point. i guess we have just had it so long that our fans wouldnt even consider sharing with each other - theres no way either set of fans would agree to share either's ground, nor would they want to move to hampden together, which wouldnt be practical due to its use as a concert venue amongst other things. essentially then there would be three teams sharing it, though Queens Park dont play there as often anymore, do they? dundee is a prime example of where ground sharing would work, their grounds are within 100 yards of each other! how their fans would feel about it i dont know.

I don't think it is a big deal. I'd rather share with Ayr than see them go out of business because after all, we gain much of our identity due to our rivalries!

When Dundee were going through there problems Thompson offerred ground sharing.....actually he was approched spin on dundee part they actually somehow tryed to blame us for wanting to make money out of their sitiation bazar they even boycoted a derby to make there point which they now claim was more about saving money to put into their club that was in trouble. The marr brothers used this same trick to get Dee for life to give em the money saved for undersoil heating. Dundee fans should be embarresed by this. Funnily enough you can never find a fan that'll admit there was a boycott of that match and it was to do with not wanting to groundshare. Thats why we dinna want to groundshare dispite the sense it'd make. as for the Italians all you'd need to do is argue with them enough and they'd eventually give in so thats how they ended up ground sharing.

As far as you and I are concerned, there seems to be logic in big clubs within a city sharing grounds. But, unlike in Italy, Scottish ( yip, Old Firm) clubs have other 'issues' ... ie secterianism. I reckon both Celtic and rangers should sell up and they can share with the All Mighty Queens Park at Hampden. Build Council flats at ibrox and Parkhead, and move all the Govanites into flats fit for families of three generations at once.
