The Taylor Report is a document whose development was overseen by Lord Taylor of Gosforth, concerning the aftermath and causes of the Hillsborough disaster in The need to improve safety as well as protect crowds from the Scottish weather led to its most recent renovation in the late 1990s, and the stadium was re-opened on May 14, 1999.

[1]

The Hampden Roar

The crowd who came to see football matches at Hampden were renowned for creating the Hampden Roar. The noise created was said to terrify opposing teams who came to play there. With capacity at the ground exceeding 100,000 from the early 1900s until the 1980s, the Roar could be heard several miles away from the stadium. In recent times the roar has said to be more muted, with the capacity of the stadium being reduced from its heyday.

According to one history, the Roar began during the annual fixture against England in 1929, when Scotland, having played the whole of the second half with ten players, owing to an injury to Alex Jackson, equalised in the final minute with a goal scored by Alec Cheyne direct from a corner kick. Alexander Skinner Jackson ( May 12 1905 — November 15 1946) was a Scottish footballer. Alexander George 'Alec' Cheyne ( 28 April 1907 – 5 July 1983) was a Scottish footballer who played as an inside-forward A corner kick is a method of restarting play in a game of Association football. Over 110,000 spectators were in the ground that day, and they began the roar as a way of inspiring Scotland to hold on until the final whistle. [2]

The Hampden Roar is also used, colloquially, as a rhyming slang phrase. People (mainly in Glasgow and the west coast of Scotland) may ask "what's the Hampden Roar?" or "what's the Hampden?" meaning, "what's the score?" The phrase can also be used outwith footballing contexts.
