KNIVES left in gardens, public urination and loutish behaviour are increasing problems around events at Hampden Park.

People living near the stadium reported rubbish being strewn in their gardens when football games are held and supporters’ buses blocking cycle lanes.

The research, compiled by Mount Florida Community Council (MFCC), is to go before Glasgow City Council’s Langside Area Partnership (LAP) today.

It calls Stone Roses gig goers an “antisocial crowd” and tells how football fans have been urinating in the street hours before kick-off.

Problems in some areas are said to have got worse – with more than half of those surveyed saying they are unable to access services and businesses in the area due to event disruption.

Councillor Anna Richardson, chair of LAP, said: “Mount Florida Community Council’s annual survey provides us with valuable information about residents’ experiences of events at Hampden.

“It’s crucial that communities can raise and discuss the issues that matter to them.”

One respondent told how, for a second time, a knife was discarded in their garden, which they believe was “probably to pick up later”. A number of action points to address the problems have been identified.

Councillor Archie Graham, a member of Langside Area Partnership council committee, said: “I am committed to ensuring that partnership continues to work together to address the problems identified in this latest piece of research.”
