glesgadan Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 As we seem to only have two away games planned for the next year, is there likely to be any away friendlies arranged? four days after we visit Wembley, England have a friendly with Spain. i haven't heard anything about any other games being arranged for Scotland. this might allow the opportunity for those with low or zero points to get on the ladder.

deecie Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Finland was the pre-match chat in Slovakia. Afterwards nobody wanted to ever watch football ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 We are such an attractive opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glesgadan Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I rejoined the supporters club this year and there has only been one game offered to those on zero points. Unfortunately I was on my family holiday. Just think there needs to be the opportunity to build points with advance notice to try and arrange travel at a reasonable price.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottincarlisle Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Maybe in March as we've only one qualifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 If we lose in London next month there will be at least 6 friendlies next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottincarlisle Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I would imagine after Czech Rep, Italy & France this year we may get a home friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 After the recent results I doubt very much there will be a game around the England game. If we are beat next month, then I would have my doubts that there will even be a game in March also around the Slovenia game (let the new manager come in and focus solely on that), with probably our next friendly most likely at the end of May before we go into the England at Hampden game. 2016 has been a bit of over kill for away games, so I suspect 2017 will see mostly home friendlies (just a case of do we get one in March depending on the ,manager situation, but I fully expect one in May).

ProudScot Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Trying new players and a new system for an easy friendly is a no brainer. Those saying "there won't be a game because fans wont want to go" - It isn't about an away day and a jolly for you, it's about (hopefully a new manager) having some games to try new players and a more attacking formation so we can try and be something above rank rotten for a change.

Actually, it IS that - but it's also tied in with how much money the Scottish FA can get from traveling abroad for friendly matches. We don't do a lot of "Home" friendlies. That's because the Scottish FA have to shell out to the visitors. Away friendlies are a revenue stream for the Scottish FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For various reasons. I am rightly on zero points. My concern is that I could have paid a two year membership and only have the opportunity to buy a ticket for one game.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Reports from Macedonia that they have made enquiries to us for a game in November (but same article says they have also asked Turkey and Norway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
