1320Lichtie Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Confirmed, be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be like in here for the opening game, imagine itll be a sell out, liking the change of venue tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 f**k that. Should be at Murrayfield, Parkhead or one of the smaller grounds. How many games are we without Hampden for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the 2 as far as I am aware, Parkhead a shoe in for ROI game now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough as much as I hate Rangers and Ibrox, it would make sense to put that game at Ibrox. Playing at home to Ireland in a stadium with green seats is going to be pretty bizarre.

craigkillie Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Ireland game is more likely to sell out, so it makes financial sense to have it at the larger Parkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Murrayfield would make even more? The extra 7500 tickets would offset the extra costs of hiring it from the SRU(If that's even more expensive than hiring Parkhead from Celtic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra 7500 tickets would offset the extra costs of hiring it from the SRU(If that's even more expensive than hiring Parkhead from Celtic) It would suit me given that it's a 30 second walk, but I doubt there would be any chance of selling out Murrayfield.

Venti Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Don't mind Ibrox. As much as we hate Sevco, their fans will be supporting England anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Scotland vs Sweden 96 - atmosphere was immense. Was my first game, but I don't think I've yet experienced an atmosphere to top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMMjag Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ibrox is a fantastic stadium, certainly well ahead of Parkhead. The only thing that goes against it are the nearby pubs I suppose, but it should be easy enough to drink in Shawlands or the City Centre before heading to the game. The atmosphere for the game should be excellent, hopefully tickets won't be too hard to get a hold of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 As with the Cup Semi-Finals & Final this season, the authorities will look to keep the games at football venues, and evenly share them among the OF. So this goes to Ibrox, and the Eire game will go to Parkhead. No £ to rugby, even £ to OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What is the obsession over Murrayfield? It's always thrown out as an 'option' on here but why would the SFA give money to the SRU? Also since it's never been done before, I imagine there must be reasons we don't know about as to why. I get the feeling the SRU wouldn't be too keen on it.
