Queen's
Park FC made moves to rent part of the Queen's Park Recreation Ground in
Glasgow, but this was rejected by the City Council early in 1873. The club
were not put off by this refusal, and a second bid was more successful,
with the council agreeing on 21 October 1873 to lease the ground to the club for a period of six
months at a cost of �20. The next thing to be decided was what to
call their new home. Just to the south of their 200x100 yard pitch
was Prospect Hill, upon which local builder George Eadie had recently built
a row of flats. He had called this terrace Hampden Terrace, after John
Hampden, a parliamentarian and General in Cromwell's army in the English
Civil War. As this terrace dominated the local landscape, the name was
taken for the new ground. The worry about the club's unsecured tenure was to prove
well founded, as the expansion of Glasgow resulted in the building of the
Cathcart Circle railway line. Unfortunately the planned route for
the railway went right across their pitch, and the club were told to move
by May 1883. - QPFC.com |
