Moscow and particularly Kazan were a lot better. Having said that we were only there three nights and one of those days was taken up with a game so didn’t see as much of Volgograd compared to the other two. The hike up to the Mother Russia statue was cracking though, although the 40 degree heat was brutal 🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That confrms what I have been told. I emailed the supporters club this morning as i need to get to Turkey after the game so need tp know where we will be. They literally replied 5 mins ago to say they will not know the venue till later in the year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 So potentially no news till June? Would love to go to this if it were Moscow, St Petersburg or Kaliningrad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have improved since the WC, and the burds are cracking, but still not a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davied14 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 After Fraser and Paterson didn't travel to Kazakhstan because of the plastic pitch I fully expect Russia to announce they will be playing us at a stadium with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum83 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 the price for flight and stuff is cheap going to st petersburg kinda hoping it would be there but knowing the russians they will play in the sticks way out yonder st petersburg would give them a massive crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McChouffe Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My gut feel is St Pete. Belgium will probably play in Luzhniki as they are likely to be the big draw for the Russian fans. Given we are likely to have the biggest away support (even after the Kazakhstan and San marino debacle) in the group I don't think the Russian authorities will make it too difficult for us to get to, hence St Pete. Living in Moscow though I, off course, want it to be here. It could however be any of the other white elephant stadiums built for the World Cup. Most of those cities are served reasonably well by flights from Moscow, but it'll be a scramble for seats nonetheless if it's somewhere like Kazan or Samara.

Damn you , when this jumped I thought the venue had been announced , if they want to keep it easy it might be Kaliningrad , don’t really fancy it though 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tattiescone69 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Yup , ridiculous since they must know by now , they announced the Kazakhstan game a week before the deadline so hopefully this week , their twitter feed is a pile of fanboy shite I’ll be glad to dump it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 They'll announce it during the Belgium game and we'll be that jaked that we'll forget and miss the reasonable flights.. Fingers crossed for St Pete's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4Footsoldier Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 So I suppose we've still not heard anything official as we've now got into the 120 period? I imagine Russia of all federations have probably got the likes of UEFA in their pocket when it comes to these sorts of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross AFC TA Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Seen on Facebook someone saying it's in Moscow, because that's where the TA select game is. Apart from that not seen anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
