Wallsendmag Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Anyone thinking we're going to be embarking on a 260 mile round trip for "home" games has a screw loose tbh I've actually attended a football match at Murrayfield before (Hearts v Aberdeen) and it's was fucking awful.

I think everyone probably realises it would be a fairly ridiculous situation - but - what are the alternatives should we need a different ground for a bit? Mackems is just impossible. So, outside of going somewhere near enough as far away as Murrayfield, we’d be going somewhere with a massively reduced capacity, which obviously creates a huge headache. Whatever they decide, there’s going to be a very unpalatable side to it from the fans pov, although we may just have to accept we need to suck it up for the greater good.

The point from most people isn't about whether we're doing it or not, it's hypothetical musing about it being the most viable out of a small number of awful options. Like discussing if you had to do the nasty with one of the following: Dot Cotton, Angie Watts, Pauline Fowler, Ethel Skinner or Roly the Poodle.

I’m going to guess our FA, the Scottish FA, UEFA (potentially FIFA), both Hearts and Hibs, and possibly all the smaller clubs around Edinburgh will all object to it.

TBG Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I know the Scots aren't quite as evolved as us English, but why did the section of Murrayfield I was in for Oasis, not have a concourse? There was vendors outside in what looked like a car park, no dohbt selling fried mars bars and haggis, which I had no interest in, but I did have an interest in needing to have a piss which meant using the portaloos stationed nearby. You might be able to get away it at the San Siro, but I aint queuing outdoors in a Scottish winter for a piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new seat/category map is knocking about somewhere. That video says safe standing is going into L7 but doesn't say how much of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
