North London Red Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Yes. Flying from Heathrow to Glasgow tomorrow afternoon. Really looking forward to this one, my first visit to Celtic Park. If the atmosphere is half as good as previous England v Scotland games, it will be a great occasion.

Going up for the game Tuesday? Yeah I am surprised we haven't sold out but we only have 8,000 odd members of the travel club. Apparently the game going to be played in Turin but would be nice if it could get confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 If your looking for a friendly bar near the ground go to the Bristol Bar at the end of Duke St. It's a Rangers bar only 10 mins from the ground. Otherwise there are a number of Rangers pubs at Bridgeton Cross which is halfway between the city centre and the ground. I assume the England fans are housed the Lions stand. Have fun, but be careful. That said,Turin will be more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin married a Glaswegian who is a Celtic fan. Did the ground tour last year when City were on tour in Scotland also did tour of Ibrox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Tickets need to be collected at a special point with all fans being 'vetoed' before they can obtain ticket Probably a reason only 5000 sold as most wouldn't be allowed in Quite what the point in joining travel club (8000 you said?) and not wanting to go is bizzarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree though I am surprised only just over 1/2 the members of the travel club have decided to go to Scotland away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakes Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 My 2 lads are both members who are not going, didn't fancy having them on tow while wandering around the center of Glasgow before a Scotland v England game looking for the ticket collection point. The FA were originally going to post the tickets out but changed their minds and made it collection only 2 weeks before the game. Complete farce again will not be rejoining after France 2016.

Kid in the Riot Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What a day/night! The scenes in that away end when Rooney scored the 3rd will live with me forever!! Yeah it was pretty good, fantastic to score so soon after they thought they'd got back into it. What that mad jock in the kilt was doing running towards the England end when they scored I'll never know - took about 6 stewards to rugby tackle him to the ground. Followed by the chant of "it must be his stag do, he's wearing a skirt"! We drank in The Horseshoe bar, Merchant Square, Annie Millars Rangers bar and then Boteco Brazilian bar after the game. Quality trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakes Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 What a quality atmosphere totally out sang the jocks start to finish. Went on a pub crawl in Partick before the game - Ashton Lane about a dozen pubs all next door to each other next to the university. Back to the city center after ended up in the Scotia Bar oldest pub in Glasgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North London Red Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Any issues in Glasgow or all peacefull? Was reading a few tweets after the game from sweatys who thought it might get firery Didn't see any myself, but my taxi driver today said there were 26 arrests, and that there was some minor bother at the Radisson bar. Top trip on the whole. Pub wise I visited the Blackfriars (in Merchant City), the Pot Still (which is a great pub, and has the biggest whisky collection I've ever seen), the Ark and the Maggie May (where I somehow passed the bouncer's sobriety test to gain entry at 12.45am on Monday night). Was also in my hotel bar last night and who should walk in but Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp, Graeme Souness, Martin Tyler and the rest of the Sky team. Also had Greg Dyke on my flight from Heathrow to Glasgow on Monday afternoon. Did the Hampden Park tour and Scottish football museum today, both also really good.

Quality trip. We had a quick look in the Horseshoe on Tuesday afternoon but the queue at the bar was about 8 deep, and there was barely room to breathe. Also saw Boteco when I stumbled out of the Maggie May next door late on Monday night - from outside it looked much more inviting than the Maggie May, so we probably made the wrong choice there!

22A Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Found this today reflecting on that game; http://news.stv.tv/scotland-decides/analysis/300205-devomax-daily-stephen-daisley-on-scotlands-defeat-to-england-at-parkhead/ Alex Salmond has hailed Scotland's stunning 1-3 victory over England in Tuesday night's clash at Parkhead. The international friendly saw the home side concede two goals from Wayne Rooney and one from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Andrew Robertson pulled back one for Scotland. However, the Tartan Army was really enthusiastic and had held loads of town hall meetings where 100% of people wearing Scotland tops had agreed Scotland would win.
