biffer Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Who's going? Edinburgh v Glasgow on the 27th Dec, Glasgow v Edinburgh on 2nd Jan. Got both legs booked, looking forward to it. Edinburgh won over the two legs last year, despite Glasgow winning the league. May well be a bit of grudge heading into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Going to the Murrayfield leg of the tie. Game in Glasgow the tickets seem to be worth their weight in gold Yeah, I got early access because I've got and Edinburgh season ticket. Shame they can't get another big stand in for that game, reckon you'd get 10,000 easily. Hopefully the Edinburgh leg will be pushing 20,000 people this year - nearly 16,000 last year. East stand is pretty much sold out already. Edited December 16, 2015 by biffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Firhill a couple of times and was a good day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get to a position where there's regularly 30-35,000 at the Edinburgh leg, that'll be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm going to the game on the 27th. Flying up to see the family in the morning, quick hello and back out with my Dad, uncle and cousins. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Scotstoun was increased to 10000 for end season games last season. Surprised they didn't do same for this especially as they are selling out other games at 6000+ regularly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Blackheart Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Would be nice if one day they could get a decent crowd at ibrox for one of these - it looked good for the sevens in the empire games. SRU should have bought ibrox from the liquidator for £2.50 and some shirts when rangers collapsed and then leased it back to the new company. Still, never mind.

ShedTA Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Can't go to edinburgh leg his year as usualas family over but hope its a good game. Heading for a record crowd which is great for the fixture. Taken years for things to settle with the change from clubs to the pro teams. But hopefully this is the sport kicking on now.

biffer Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Over 18,000 sold now, forecast for Sunday is dry so wth walkups I think it'll top 20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 They only have limited permission for that expansion. That's a shame. Hopefully move to 10,000 capacity as a norm. In England teams like Wasps and Harlequins have special "one off" games at Wembley or Twickenham and get crowds of 50-60k. With rugby getting better in Scotland maybe these cup games will get bigger and bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the return next week at Scotstoun. 23,000 is a fantastic crowd for a Scottish rugby game. Keeps the good feeling going into the 6 Nations.
