Venue tbd. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63176919 Am I missing something here? why is it our job to trawl through media and rumours to find out about a game. there is nothing on the SFA website and don’t think I have received anything from the supporters club. surely we should be the first to know not the last. starting to see why others have a particular view of the SFA.

Squirrelhumper Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's a hard one to book without a venue as it could literally be anywhere in Turkey and it's not the easiest to navigate if you guess wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The SFA assure me that they have put "our top man" on the job negotiating with the Turks over the game venue .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glesgadan Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Ukraine took the pish with announcing the venue and as we just bent over and took it, everyone else will see fit to take the pish as well. im sure Spain will do the same as Ukraine and Turkey.

thesaint Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Give this pretty pointless match a miss i think. Save my cash for the euro qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4Footsoldier Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Bit of a pisstake re: venue confirmation tbh . On the plus side, I imagine a lot will give this a miss so ca hance for the usual moaners about ticket allocations to build up some points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 The Turkish Football Federation website says "the venues and start times of the matches will be announced in the coming days". It also says "our National Team will face Scotland on November 16 [...] in special matches in Turkey". The phrase "special matches" implies the matches are going to be of elevated importance to the TFF and therefore may be held somewhere different that usual, which would further support Diyarbakir being the location for the fixture. It could be a mistranslation however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YesTA Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Erdoğan was due to head to Diyarbakir in the last couple of days but had to rearrange due to an accident at a Mine elsewhere in the coutry and he had to go there instead. Mibi the original meeting would of been to rubber seal the venue for the Scotland game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midweek away friendlies generally don't attract, especially one as farfetched as this one and ostensibly giving the fans the finger by agreeing to play a game without having a venue announced. Usually they serve as at least one of: a piss up, or a chance for people on low points to climb the ladder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I would hazard a guess at about 5-600 would travel for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from being paid well i don't see what good a one off friendly will do us at this stage. Save the cash for the Euro qualifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less Scotland fans the easier it is to get flights, accommodation etc. You might actually speak to a local as opposed to someone that just stays round the corner from you, definitely my kinda trip. Fingers crossed for Diyarbakir as this is the only reason I’ll ever visit there Edited October 19, 2022 by dan cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like there to be a football reason to travel and i just can't think of any real reason to go to this game(football related of course} It's a hell of an effort to make for a kick about. However, i'm sure those that go will have a ball anyway. Maybe 300-500 or so will travel. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rents Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Agreed on this. I am looking forward to this one. I am just getting tetchy with no announcement of the venue. 16 hours ago, dan cake said: The less Scotland fans the easier it is to get flights, accommodation etc. You might actually speak to a local as opposed to someone that just stays round the corner from you, definitely my kinda trip.

The silence on this is deafening, got a feeling this won’t happen (would be delighted to be wrong), I’m now preparing for 4 nights on the lash in Istanbul and 4 days of being a tourist. Tbh a couple of days with shorts on would be appreciated after the soaking I got on the picket line this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
