  1. You can get the info from the stadium map on the website. It's really not difficult.

    Link to this magical page?

    I have been on 3 different websites and not one shows the tickets sold on a stadium image

    For example

    http://www.livefootballtickets.com/euro-2016-qualifiers-scotland-v-ireland-tickets/glasgow-16122.html

    The cheapest available tickets on this site for the ireland game is 94 quid! How is that even possible. Is that a dugout seat!?

  2. This was our home for a while.

    Nothing special

    The really old hampden certainly was special. Holds the european attendance record for any sporting event and the second highest football attendance of all time. The old hampden back in the day. One of the greatest stadiums of all time. 149 thousand was the unofficial record against england and most people think there were far more there than even that

  3. What did your clubs' old stadium look like? What are your abiding memories of the old place? Are you (honestly) in a better position the way things are now? Or would you prefer to go back to the good old days?

    It would also be interesting to see your memories about visiting the grounds that other fans mention too.

    As for Rugby Park - here's some crackin' pictures of how it used to be...

    I have only fleeting memories of the old place, but we are most definitely better off now. Yes, the 'new' Rugby Park is far too big for our needs, and the leg-room is ridiculous in all stands but the Frank Beattie, but it's home.

    I like the look of that

  4. I refuse to use the term tartan army. When people use that term they think of big hairy, soft, chucther jessies with feathers in their hats.

    The scotland fans are made up up many different people such as hairy arsed glasgow hardmen, big tough aberdonian oil riggers, neds from dundee, embarrassing posh arseholes from edinburgh to older minted toffs from the highlands.

    You could pick 2 scotland fans out at random and one might be a nutcase from glasgow who has slashed someone that day to a feeble pansie from the highlands that likes to sing about drops of golden sun

    The term tartan army is meaningless

  5. We've just talked about it, PA. There's lots of help available, but your point is very valid- there's so much of a stigma attached to mental illness that a lot of people won't admit to it, talk about it or seek help for it. The big example recently was Gary Speed's suicide- there was someone that seemed to be successful in his work, financially secure, happy family, nothing wrong- nobody knew he was unwell.

    So talking about it is obviously important, but how much can you really do to get people that from the outside look okay to "open up"?

    You f**k my wife?

  6. Don`t know if anybody else has been watching the debate in the House Of Commons this evening, but it seems the families of the 96 people who tragically died at Hillsborough, might finally be getting some form of justice in the release of the papers relating to the disaster. There`s been a lot of fairly emotional stuff from various MP`s over the course of the evening.

    Also full marks to Richard Keys & Andy Gray on Talksport last week, some very emotional interviews from various people involved. I was only 9 at the time, but clearly remember the tannoy at Tannadice(during a reserve game against Rangers) telling us there were major problems, then getting home and watching the news bulletins. I wasn`t really aware at the time as to the details of what went on, but suffice to say I can remember the extent of the tradgedy.

    They are just trying to redeem themselves.

    P.S Richard Keyes should be slapped non stop with a moist haddock 24 hours a day 7 days a week
