When it comes to the amateur rugby grounds, the capacity is usually just dictated by whatever the club record attendances were. When Edinburgh played at Myreside, the ground only held around 7,000. Granted that they used temporary stands on the ends of the pitch
Lot of history behind these grounds, and the Glasgow ones too, more than many people realise. Murrayfield - 1st stadium to have undersoil heating. Easter Road - 1st stadium I actually had a clenched fist swapping experience at 😇 Hey Bruce, what happened to Goldenacre, Meggetland, Inverleith, Ainslie Park, etc.,
I went to easter road in the 90's and the seats were so close together everyone over 4 feet tall was sitting side saddle. Pretty sure that stand is renovated now.
Hearts played at 4 other locations before moving to Tynecastle in 1886. Also the Gorgie stand does have one concession to space constraints. Though not quite a corner cut-off like the Fester Road stands the the number of seating rows is reduced at one end.. (Bottom right in the image shown)
@@livifan45it definitely holds more than the claimed capacity and it has the history of the Commonwealth Games so it probably should be included as with Goldenacre.

They do exist, but play in the Scottish National League. Could argue whether or not they're the same club though, not really a continuation of the Elite League side.
@@davehedgehog4391 Yeah you're right I just looked, is it a phoenix club type thing because I remember looking a few years ago for the website to see if I could still get jerseys and it didn't exist. Looks pretty flash, maybe they are thinking of coming back to the elite league?
@@rerooar Yeah just a recent thing, just completed their second season. Been getting very good crowds, given they're winning more often than in the EIHL days. I don't know about an Elite League return, but they have played in cross border cup competitions against teams from the NIHL (effectively UK second tier, far fewer imports) in the last few seasons and I think there's an appetite from some clubs to see the NIHL expand north. At the moment Solway Sharks are the only Scottish team in that setup. Travelling has always been the stumbling block.
It's because the SRU are reluctant on building permanent stands until they have a long term idea on supporter numbers, or at least that's the excuse. The majority of the £6 million went into the pitch and foundation work for potential renovation
It was traditional in the claymores games for the fan to be introduced to the players !

Great stadiums with beautiful names for Hibernian and Hearts.
Thanks for these videos.

Hey Bruce, what happened to Goldenacre, Meggetland, Inverleith, Ainslie Park, etc.,
They're all too small - at the start of the video it gives a minimum capacity for inclusion of 4,000.
@@gordon1545 Meggetland is 4,500
love Hibs and hearts grounds

I really like your content, especially in Mediterranean part of europe for some reason

Stadiums of Greater Manchester pls
aye more superb scottish stadiums
The Eleanor Rugby joke was great! Dad jokes done right I say. My fave is Murrayfield and Tynecastle but I'd pref Hibs for reasons...
Have you done Belfast yet?
If you're going to include Myreside for Edinburgh there's lots of similar stadiums you could have included for Glasgow eg Lochburn Park
can you do PSAC stadiums
Meadowbank?
just a sports centre
@@just_some_guy_innit It still has some seating.
...But not enough to get it over the minimum 4,000 capacity for this video since its last redevelopment.
The old ground was large but the new stadium only has about 500 seats
🇱🇻❤️🇱🇻
Temp annual stadium at castle for tattoo & music - 8k seats?
Track on grass at Myreside Stadium?
You missed Edinburgh City and Spartans
It says at the start that the minimum size for inclusion is 4,000
You forgot Meadownbank!
You missed out The Spartans F.C. , Edinburgh City
Neither of them meet the capacity rules, especially Meadowbank.
@@livifan45it definitely holds more than the claimed capacity and it has the history of the Commonwealth Games so it probably should be included as with Goldenacre.
@@ewangent Meadowbank is only licensed for 1,320. It says at the start that the minimum size for inclusion is 4,000
You have the capacity of Tynecatle is wrong the capacity of Tynecastle is 20,099 not 19852

Isn't Goldenacre Heriots not Stew Mel?
Myerside is heriots
@@andrewframe8291 myerside is watsons as it said in the video lol
Just a Note: Edinburgh Capitols haven't existed for about a decade. There is no team from Edinburgh in the UK league anymore.
They do exist, but play in the Scottish National League.
Could argue whether or not they're the same club though, not really a continuation of the Elite League side.

@@davehedgehog4391 That's great news, I'm going to have to get a jersey. I have a team in Scotland again!!!!
The person who said MOLINEUX STADIUM WAS IN BIRMINGHAM strikes again!
£6 million to build a stadium with dozens of pillars... SMH

@@sumboi2321 Fair enough pal, but after 151 years in existence, you would have thought that SRU would have a grip on supporter numbers by now...
Glasgow is good video ( minus Celtic park )

2-1 😂
East coast weirdos
