The OP Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sure it won't be bad, I've had tickets right near the back in Dortmund, Wembley and Poland and my views still been superb. These grounds don't have daft running tracks around them so if anything I've found the views better than Hampden. Parking at my family's place in Carntyne but I imagine the nearby retail park would be fine aswell if you get there early enough.

Plus you can stand up all game without anyone moaning and batter the wall if you want to make some noise and are confident that the stadium won't fall apart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row J on Friday. Been to Parkhead once for the 1-1 game and stood in the away end, some awful seats there Looking forward to a packed stadium this time and hopefully a better view! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This will roughly be your view then. Personally I'd prefer it to being directly behind the goals near the front of the bottom tier, as I am for the Europa games. Couldn't even tell that Astra scored at the other end in the 2-1 game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggis pakora Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Good to hear. Can't wait to visit Parkhead by the way, last time I was there there was only 18k there for that 1-1 cup game. Been dying to see what its like full. Closet celtic fan imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah think the seats right behind the goals would be shite. Cheers for that though looks great, roll on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis pakora Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Surely the 'Watch your car mister" thing must have died out? I know it was true when I went to Ibrox/Hampden in the late 60s/70s but not now? Mind you I do remember standing on 4 empty beer tins at both venues to get a better view. The wee guys still do it around govan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Officially now buzzing for Friday. Same, first home game without a bevy in 6 year though. See if it's any harder watching us sober 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Officially now buzzing for Friday. Yup. I'm a combination of excited and an absolute bag of nerves for this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 With parkhead they generally call any section that has some poled blocking a few seats 'restricted view' and unless you're in the minority of folk right in line with pillars it's generally a great view all the way round bar the usual issue with seats right in the front row. Best places I've ever sat in there have been right up the back of the top tier and I've pretty much sag everywhere at one point or another 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah think the seats right behind the goals would be shite. Cheers for that though looks great, roll on Friday. They are, I was pretty much right behind the goal when Morton were there and you couldn't really make out what was going on at the other end. Cracking view if you're higher up though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Phil Bardsley out of the squad with injury and has been replaced by Callum Paterson. I quite like Paterson as a player, but I reckon Ziggy Gordon might have been a better shout. Perhaps the fact that he's had a couple of poor performances in the last fortnight has counted against him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the fact that he's had a couple of poor performances in the last fortnight has counted against him. Not that it should be a bigger consideration than performances at club level, but Paterson having played fairly often for the under-21s might have influenced the decision too. Although it's mental that a player of Gordon's quality has never been in the under-21s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Another case of WGS getting a younger lad in with the squad, pretty certain that it will be Whittaker right back and A-Rob left back now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not really much other option now. Perhaps whittaker will be less if a bomb scare on his stronger side, don't think he's ever really played there for Scotland with Hutton being a near ever present on the right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yip, Ziggy's been poor the last couple of matches but Paterson was suspended for Hearts's last match and got sent off for a ridiculous challenge the last time he played. Sadly, I cant see Ziggy ever playing for Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Surely to f**k Graeme Shinnie is ahead of whoever the f**k Callum Patterson is. The squad could certainly do with another left-back - I'm not sure having 4 players who can play there is quite enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
