Announcement – Sunday 2nd June 2024
Over the last 11 days, we have celebrated the installation of 14 signs and 7 plaques in Football’s Square Mile. This demarcation of 21 football heritage sites enables everyone from across Glasgow, Scotland, and the world, to visit the world’s biggest open-air football museum.
We have been gearing up for our FSM Launch Video. A work of genius, filmed at 2nd Hampden to inspire all the lovers of football to learn this story.
We are encouraging everyone to go out and visit all 21 sites. All you need is a pair of shoes and a phone, and you will be drawn into the world of the Scotch Professors, who gave the world the modern game.
The following review from Eve Coutts sums up the ethos of what we have built:
‘Football’s Square Mile is a fun day out for everyone! Glasgow becomes an exciting scavenger hunt for football history. The plaques are easy to spot and the QR codes are very user-friendly. The stories of Scottish football history are concise yet interesting allowing even non-football fans (like me) to enjoy the tour as well!’
There is a buzz is in the air with many people sending us photos of our plaques and signs – so what’s stopping you? Get out there and start exploring for yourself. There are no queues, no tickets required, and this is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for you to enjoy.
Our motto is ‘Go Big or Go Home’, and we have to thank our amazingly talented Creative Designer, Ashley Rawson, for another genius idea. If you are going to launch a new brand. Do it in style.
We are delighted to announce that we have set up The Football’s Square Mile Company Limited, a not-for-profit organisation to protect the world’s biggest open-air museum and promote the ‘Greatest Story Rarely Told’. This is the next big step in The Hampden Collection adventure.
We would like to thank every single person and organisation who has supported our journey. The positivity and enthusiasm for what we are doing is extraordinary, and we couldn’t have done this without you.
Look out world – the Scotch Professors are coming.
