Hampden Bowling Club is under threat.
With dwindling memberships and a lack of wider funding support, Hampden Bowling Club, which sits on the site of the First Hampden Park, could be wound up as early as February.
Cathkin Park across the road has just been designated a scheduled monument. The current Hampden Park is up for designation surveying in 2026.
Yet, the origin point for football in Scotland and International football as we know it today has been left to go to the wall.
This is nationally important historical site. It is the first touchpoint for understanding how football developed in Scotland.
If the bowling club shuts down, the land will be sold to a developer and the story of First Hampden will amount to nothing more than a plaque on the wall of some modern housing.
That can't be allowed to happen.
