saintsparky Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 They have managed to announce the venue for a friendly against Brazil in March next year...FFS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mc Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think they've just forgotten the Scotland match...if they don't turn up we'll get the 3 points, and i'll have a wee city break in Seville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I think the number of fans that Scotland will take over is possibly causing the delay in announcing a stadium. It could be a huge amount and they probably have to give consideration as to where is big enough to stage the match, and also fans accommodation etc. Fans will turn up no matter where it is. Alternatively they might just be dragging their heels for the sake of being awkward bassas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For probably their biggest home game of the group, hard to imagine they wouldn't pick somewhere substantial Yeah I think it’s more or less a formality the vast majority of the time. I suppose there could be some concerns if it’s the same stadium where Rangers played the Europa League final but I don’t think it will take long to send a couple of emails back and forward to sort that.

Squirrelhumper Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think if we get 4 points in the next 2 games, they;ll move it to somewhere tiny to restrict the away support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure they would be allowed to do that if they have already told UEFA which stadium they intend to use which they should already have done. Not without a good reason anyway although I suppose they could just make one up. I genuinely doubt Spain would consider us a threat at home anyway regardless of how many supporters we take. I suspect they think they will destroy us over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 So if it is Sevilla what sort of official allocation can we expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If at sevilles ground, Club sides get allocated around 2600. Think betis was around 2800 in top tier. So I'd hopefully say that's a minimum. hopefully pushing towards 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4Footsoldier Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Looks like a go to me. If the president of the FA is saying that in an interview given to what seems to be a reputable mainstream Spanish media outlet, then it's hard to imagine anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary the saint is delighted. Flights and hotel booked many months ago. The very reason that i was so angry in the age it took them to confirm Seville was because i had already taken the gamble and splashed the cash. So happy days. 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
