UEFA CUP FINAL IN GLASGOW

Early day motion 1511, tabled 17 May 2007 by David Marshall (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House congratulates everyone involved in the 2007 UEFA Football Cup Final held at Hampden Park, Glasgow on Wednesday 16th May, especially the estimated 52,000 spectators, of whom an estimated 30,000 were from Spain, to watch Espanyol play Sevilla in a game won by Sevilla in a penalty shoot out; notes that there was a great community spirit amongst Glaswegians and Spaniards alike and that an excellent time was had by all; further notes that this was the sixth major European final held at Hampden, which has a tradition of hosting memorable occasions; and hopes that many more such events will be held there, including some 2014 Commonwealth Games events if Glasgow's bid to host those games is successful.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 2.
