    I think the bigger issue that is being missed by some on here is that being part of a supporters club / buying match day package deals etc should come with advantages / make life abit cheaper or easier than not being part of said group.

    The way the SFA have changed things over the years is moving further and further away from that position.

    I bought 10 tickets today, 7 adults and 3 kids and it took me nearly 3 hours. That isnt acceptable when I pay to be part of the SSC. I can accept a waiting room but the wait either has to be long and then you get lots of time when actually in the purchasing part or short and then you get less time. This morning was about a 40 minute wait each time and then you get 14 minutes to complete the transaction. 

    Now 14 mins would be fine if there wasnt flaws with the system. 1st time round it wouldnt allow me to change 2 seats to kids seats. After that some of the other seats id selected werent available any longer.

    The seats not being available happened again on 2nd login. How is that even possible. When seats are selected it should mean that they are unable to be picked by anybody else until I am finished. This obviously isnt the case. Isnt an issue when buying a couple of tickets but when buying for a group is a nightmare.

    Buying a match package over several months but not allowing for transfer of tickets will result in less match packages being purchased in future. If they are worried about points then create an option for the point not to be awarded if ticket transferred.

    I had a lot of those issues.

    Signed on at 930 , got tickets at 12.15.

    Needed 7 adult and 2 children.

    I had to go for best seats available options as everytime I clicked on an available seat nothing happened.

    First time I was kicked out at payment

    Through it all again and rushed the final purchase as I only had 2 minutes to complete payment.

    1 of out f and f didn't pull through to purchase page, I had to log in and get another single ticket, close but not next to the rest of us.

     

    Not as user friendly as before and not long enough between seat picking and trying to assign all f and f

    Ended up with tickets in not as good a place as I wanted .

    Where was Favourite seat option..

    I have made a reservation for the Cannstatter Wasen campsite stuttgart match day 23rd June.

    However the road access road is apparently closed matchday.

    Very expensive but would consider it if this issue can be resolved.

    Has anyone came across this issue?

    I've booked in for 3 days

    Day before to day after.

    I'm sure if you have a booking you will get in

  8. Me and ma mate Used to listen to Steve Wright in the afternoon in the late 70's early 80's up the back of our English class with a wee tiny transistor radio. 

    He introduced us to some new bands, orchestral manoeuvres in the dark being one. I remember being gobsmacked by the name of the band and what a tune Enola gay was ..

    We were equally disappointed by his first appearance on top of the pops..he certainly has a face for radio.

    Never listened to him after I left school, was working,and found his sunday show boak inducing...

    Another part of my school years memories.

     

    Anyhoo, how did he die. 🤔 69 Seems quite young and was working away till recently

    Would you like to explain to me how voting for the SNP is going to get us independence? They clearly don't have a clue, or any plan of action. 

    If the SNP get hammered at the next election they will have to have a reset and listen to the thousands of independence voters that have abandoned them, they are beholden to the voters... we don't owe them anything.

    Ok. Let's go down that path .

    Tell us now what they need to listen too.

    What are these abandoned voters wanting the snp to do to achieve independence .

    I'm genuinely interested

    Do you do it for all eligible Scotland players or just the really Scottish players tho 😉

    All current players and currently linked players, I think . Don't give it much thought.

    But usually just the squad , and round about.

    Just seems like an odd thing to do unless maybe you are about 10 years old. Ah well... you live and learn. 😂

    Well I'm a lot older than 10 and I do it 

    I click on BBC sites, to see if Scottish guys are playing, ( Gilmour, Christie, McSauce etc) , not often,but when I do and they have a team score out of ten , I give the Scottish guy a 10, even if game hasn't started, I rearly watch or actually give a phukk about the score, but to me if he's Scottish he gets a ten , aye it's daft and a bit stupid, but I do it 

     I always give the Scottish guy a ten,  even McBurnie (although strangely Cairney doesn't get anything from me) 

    Sorry, @thesaint if it annoys you.

    I just do it cos , well I don't know why I do it.

  12. Sinner wins Aussie open.

    True, but he also didn't call him up when he was in Portugal.

    It's a real shame, because he is a fantastic player. But he also happens to play in a position where we have tons of talent.

    If he was that fantastic he wouldn't be plying his trade in Canada .

    He's not currently in the squad cos he currently ain't good enough, and I don't think he ever will be.

     

  14. I got Glasgow to Amsterdam on Fri via Geneva for 50 quid

    I'd agree tbh, if you want a ticket you'll get one easy enough, the points bracket will impact the price more so with the thinner spread.  

    I think the Netherlands and Gibraltar away game points won't count till after euros 

    I don't know why, I just presume that will be the case.

    In the past it has tended to be a new package means a new seat. I would imagine the SFA will do a 5-game package covering N Ireland, Finland plus the 3 Autumn Nation League games with details out in February after the NL draw

    I agree with this. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
