jock strap Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm hoping this match is a no-go for selfish reasons. Already got a load of away games this year. Totally agree with other posts about going to France for a pointless friendly when others are going for the Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis McBasher Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't normally entertain away friendlies unless they're "local" but would probably have went to this if I didn't have a family weekend booked for the same date so I'm also hoping it doesn't go ahead for selfish reasons.

thewelk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It probably is going ahead and someone who knows someone from the FFF told a guy who works for the local Metz paper about it in the pub. And it spread from there. And really, lets face it, it's not a bit secret deal for the French. They don't give a toss about playing us. The SFA on the other hand have probably got a super injunction on the go with plans for a razamataz launch event at Hampden with Gordon Strachan present where they'll have Steven Fletcher announce the summer friendly schedule. We'll be in with a chance of tickets and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastiebeastie Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Yep. SFA creaming themselves over a couple of friendlies. Dire times. Guaranteed they use the world glamour. For the record I booked. £100 return flight to Paris and free canx hotel. If it Doesnae happen and I canx I lose £45 and get back tax and booking fee or can likely use for a nice wkd break. Don't see the fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalgety Bay TA Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The SFA on the other hand have probably got a super injunction on the go with plans for a razamataz launch event at Hampden with Gordon Strachan present where they'll have Steven Fletcher announce the summer friendly schedule. We'll be in with a chance of tickets and all that. I think you are being a bit harsh on the SFA here. Going by the rumour mill it appears that they are wanting to play possibly 2 games at end of May/start of June. IMO they are trying to protect the fans here by not announcing anything until both games are tied up. Imagine if they end up with say a game on the Wednesday and then a game in the Saturday, in quite close together locations. A lot of fans would do both, probably one flight in, travel to second location, one flight home. If however they came out and said "We are playing France Sat 4th June" and fans went and booked a Thursday or Friday flight out and return home Sunday and then came out 5 days later and said... "Ohh and we are also playing Italy on 30th May".....folk would be peeved that they would either have to book another 2 flights when they could have booked only 2 in total.

Of course it is frustrating when we hear rumours and want to book flights etc. But as you say I get the impression they want to announce both games together.Compared to previous years we have announced friendlies with a bit more notice than normal. A lot of countries announce games as and when they are confirmed but it isn't good for fans. Iceland for example before Christmas confirmed they are playing Greece away on the 2nd March date then yesterday (a month later) announced they are playing Denmark away in the first March date. For a fan wanting to go to both games that would be a nightmare. Edited January 22, 2016 by tartanpar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazziessc Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 In their defence they are right to announce both at the same time, particularly if they are away. I think the frustrations are around the lengh of time it takes to get to that stage, especially when opposition countries have basically announced it. Not to mention rumours of us missing out on decent matches because they are allegedly holding out for obscene amounts of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastiebeastie Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Oh look at me, I'm Mr More Money Than Sense!! Surely it makes sense to lose a max of £46 from booking early. Or wait and pay £200 more for flights and accommodation. Net result is a gain of around £150 based on booking early. Common sense approach surely.

aaid Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The number of typos and factual errors you see in newspapers these days is unbelievable.
