I think there are 10 dates in total and so far, we have the 8 qualifiers + the England match. So, one more match required and the only gap is in the days after Spain away. Probably the Sunday. Maybe the Monday or Tuesday. Ā Strange that the Spanish have announced the stadium for a match a month after our match, but not announced the stadium for our match.. I just wonder if the SFA have asked the Spanish to wait until the friendly is confirmed; in order to help our fans with our travel arrangements. I mean, we might be needing to get from Spain to Bulgaria (or such like). Wouldn't it be nice if they give us some of this info?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 If Andalusia has the contract signed and sealed, you would think Seville with it's three big stadiums would be a dead cert......... So, why have they not announced it?Ā They have announced a venue a month after our match, but they haven't announced ours. Why? Ā Andalusia isn't actually going to get the match? They are considering a provincial town in Andalusia? That would mean a far smaller stadium. The SFA have asked them to delay the announcement whilst we sort out our friendly? Ā Who knows.
