Why not? The champions league final has been held in Istanbul. I dont see why holding it in Scotland is a big deal. Murrayfield is a large stadium with a capacity of 67,000, why is it unrealistic?

[MarcWeir]

because its a rugby park

because its not a football ground!!! Ive seen this in my game to and not sure why this in the game at all....

It's a leftover from when Hearts used the ground when Tynecastle failed to meet UEFA ground requirements, best guess is SI forgot to remove the stadium from the database.

Was just about to post this.

Just an oversight I would imagine.

[Barside]

AFAIK it should be slated for removal from the FM13 database.

[scott MUFC]

yea.

You don't use capitals for your own name? :P

[Mr_Whippy]

Things like that really annoy me.

I agree with this .

More annoying than Murrayfield being used.

This. Most definitely.

Mind you, not as odd as in CM 01-02 where Canada gets the 2014 World Cup. Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium (capacity 8000) hosts the final.

NO CAPITALS IN YOUR NAME!>?!?!?! %*^%

Yep. I wouldn't be able to play a game like that...

[clemo]

Yep. I wouldn't be able to play a game like that...

I feelin like shooting myself in the face after you not putting caps on your name...

I don't see any issue with Murrayfield holding a Champions League final. It is a possibility (albeit small) in real life.

[BigBlueAl]

Why not let's all jump on the rugby bandwagon and play it at Twickenham !!

commonwealth stadium has a capacity of 60,000. hth.

[Herter]

commonwealth stadium has a capacity of 60,000. hth.

60,081

[Nobby_McDonald]

commonwealth stadium has a capacity of 60,000. hth.

That was a database error where the capacity should have been entered as 60,000 but was actually entered as 6000.

Murrayfield has hosted football matches before. To my knowledge, Twickenham hasn't.

[Rikulec]

I don't see anything odd about it.

That's a relief. Thought I had imagined it for a moment there. I also remember in CM4 where Northwich Victoria's ground had a capacity of approx 1 million, thought that was a similar db error. But that's neither here nor there.

Check this out from FM08...

12,000 seater in the Republic of Ireland hosting a Champions League final. doubt that would happen somehow.
