Matchday experience set for major upgrade at 1872 Cup clash

21 Nov 2025

Glasgow Warriors are pleased to confirm a host of improvements to the matchday experience at this season’s 1872 Cup fixture at Hampden Park, delivered in partnership with Sodexo, the stadium’s official catering provider.

Following feedback from supporters after last year’s historic clash, both the club and Sodexo have worked closely to enhance service, increase efficiency, and ensure the Warrior Nation can enjoy the occasion to its fullest.

One of the biggest upgrades comes in the form of expanded bar and kiosk operations across the north, east, and west stands. With significantly more units open than in 2024, supporters can expect noticeably shorter queues and faster service throughout the evening.

In addition, dedicated food-only and drink-only kiosks will be in operation across the stadium. This clear separation is designed to streamline service, reduce congestion, and help fans get back to the action as quickly as possible.

We’re also bringing your Scotstoun favourites with us as we make Hampden Park our home from home, as supporters will be able to enjoy iconic items including the much-loved Warrior Pie from multiple locations around the bowl.

The enhanced offering doesn’t stop there. In the North East of the stadium campus, supporters will find a brand-new outdoor street food market. Accessible exclusively to those with a ticket for the North and East Stands and featuring a variety of vendors and flavours, it’s an ideal spot to meet friends, soak up the pre-match atmosphere, and fuel up ahead of one of Scottish rugby’s most anticipated fixtures.

Glasgow Warriors would like to thank Sodexo for their collaboration and commitment in helping elevate the matchday experience for our supporters – we can’t wait to welcome the Warrior Nation to Hampden and create another unforgettable 1872 Cup occasion.
