In ma late 50's now and living in Inverclyde so will walk to/from Hampden from the toon. When living in Wishy I'd get train to Rutherglen and walk fae there.
Can't really get easy parking within a mile but sure there will be streets 20+ mins walk away if you're early enough and know where to go?
Funny, as a teenager I'd no problem being in the west terracing for that Spain gemme Nov 84 even though you're in a different post code to the goals down the far end. What a great night that was and was in very same spot for 91 cup final.
Think my fav spot was the north terracing, saw my first Inglin gemme there 85. Dickie Gough's header and it pished doon all gemme. McStay's 30 yarder against Iceland(?) and U16 youth world cup final were other highlights from that spot. Aside fae the mascots' granddads beating us course.
Nowadays I'd never want to be stuck in a seat behind the goal.
