At present Glasgow train there, and have plans for portable cabins on the site: Edinburgh have a similar set-up at Murrayfield. Though the present contract at Hughenden has two more years to run, Glasgow's chief executive David Jordan told Scotland on Sunday that the switch was a possibility: "As a professional team, we are looking at facilities that would offer seating for 3000 to 5000 spectators with a similar number standing, and we are examining various options that would satisfy that long-term objective. Scotstoun would be one of those options, although not in its present state.
It would require £7m to £8m to upgrade, and that is money that the SRU do not have, and are unlikely to have in the current financial climate. It would require a funding mix that would possibly include sportscotland and Glasgow city council. It is all very complex. But there is no doubt that to drive revenue we would require better facilities and a differing pricing structure. Whether that is at Hughenden, or elsewhere, remains to be seen."
The playing surface at Hughenden has come in for criticism from Glasgow coach Kiwi Searancke who described the pitch as a "mudheap".
