Football's Square Mile is the World's Biggest Open-Air Football's Museum. Our mission is to make this a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit the 21 sites here at - https://www.footballssquaremile.com/
A runway to a new beginning. The 1st Hampden is a shining beacon in the middle of Football's Square Mile. The saltire indeed marks the spot of the cradle of the modern game, and the World's Biggest Open-Air Football Museum.
This year continued the cart-upending story.
Thanks to all.

On This Day in 1873, Queen's Park opened the 1st Hampden Park. 152 years later Hampden Bowling Club has a timer above its head with 4 months and 3 days. That's how long we have until the keys are handed back to the council. Surely we dont want to lose the 1st Hampden again.

And she sleeps.
A monumental day in the 120 year history of Hampden Bowling Club, as it voted to close at the end of February.
A sad day for everyone. Now its up to the community and football community to decide what happens next to the site of the First Hampden Park.
