    Due to a quiet spell at work i nipped into the local Spar and picked up a starter park and 5 packs of stickers.

    Didn't really pay attention  until those a can of Irn Bru Xtra and 2 packs of Square crisps came to £15.05!

    Turns out they're flogging the starter pack for £5.99 and the packs are £1.50 each rather than the RRP £0.80 a pack.

    Still, I got a nice shiny Leo Messi Limited Edition...

    Sounds like you've bought the Adrenalyn cards and no the stickers. 

    Normally I stick a quid on the team that I complete first to win the tournament. This year it looks like I could be backing S Arabia or Iran on current progress.

    I used last sticker website to do the swaps for the Euros,  really efficient system works out the best folk to swap with. 

    For the cost of one stamp you can swap 50 to 60 or so stickers at one time. Can't see a cheaper way of doing it than piggybacking their software.

  2. I chose a game earlier this season in my local non-league based purely on team names. 

    Ashington v Washington

    Thought at the time that must be fixture where with least difference between team names. Definitely not a silly game. My brain likes quirks like that. 

     

     

  3. To be honest I'm struggling to think of many grounds where the regulars prefer a modern stadium to their older versions. Perhaps Brighton and Huddersfield but they are more recent examples. I thinks stadium design went through a bad patch in the later 90s and early 00s. It's understandable, there was pressure target hooliganism, improve crowd safety and better accessibility.

    Shhh, you're not meant to tell them that!

    I use Kings Park going the opposite direction back to Newton (then on to Hamilton West) but yeah on Thursday night hordes will have headed for Mount Florida out of habit/laziness when the exact same train stopped at Kings Park a few mins before.

     

    Cathcart is my option wether going back to Neilston or into town. Particularly handy if your in West Stand 

  5. Nothing happening to Hampden in near future. It got approved for ties at the Euro 2020 finals so has to be in current designs until then I guess. 

    I grew up with new Hampden. The only games I went to as a teenager were internationals. I now go to grounds all over the UK. Yeah,  The feel of the place is diluted by the track and the depth of the stands. There are certainly loads of places that feel more fierce and electric for fans. But for me that's why hampden has memories, it was family friendly for great days out with dad. It's not a bad atmosphere, it's just a different one.

    Could be worse. Look at England the other night. Qualify unbeaten with a game to spare and the place has all the energy of a morgue. If Scotland had done that at Hampden not a single soul would be complaining about the experience.
