Notes |
When it
became clear that Queen's Park FC would have to move from the original
Hampden Park, an approach was made to the
landowner to see if they were willing to let the club have this land. He
was willing to rent his land, at a cost to the club £100 per annum with a
five year lease, but Queen's were canny negotiators and reduced the rent
for the first two years to £80. Not only that, but the railway company who
were the cause of their moving would pay for drainage and levelling of
Queen's new pitch, while the landlord would pay for the turfing of the
pitch. In 1889 Queen's secured a second
five year lease, and a further five year extension in 1894, although by
now the rent was £150 per annum. Further attempts were made by the club to
buy the ground outright, but these were futile and the another search
began for a piece of land the club could purchase and own outright. The
search was of course successful, but it would be some time before it was
ready. Eventually it was time to move on, and the last
game at the second Hampden was a 1 - 1 draw with Partick Thistle on
17/10/1903, a fortnight before the new stadium was opened. After Queen's departed the second Hampden Park,
the ground was taken over by Third Lanark, who had been playing at a
ground about five hundred yards further south on Cathcart Road.
Unfortunately no agreement could be reached between Queen's and Third
Lanark regarding the pavilion, and it was removed by Queen's. The second Hampden was renamed Cathkin Park, and
was used by Thirds until their demise in 1967. There has been virtually no
development of the ground since then, and a public football pitch still
occupies the ground. Indeed visitors to Cathkin today can still see large
sections of terracing complete with barriers that have stood empty for
over 35 years. QPFC.com |
