Green_Tide_Rising Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) To get back on topic 2 group games for us at home would be fantastic hopefully between now and the qualifiers we will have moved up a pot as well. we got the same package as ye - irish news confirmed last nite , if ireland qualify then we get to play 2 grp games in dublin.........so naturally the same applies to ye an extra massive incentive for both our nations to qualify Edited September 20, 2014 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Rampant Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 we got the same package as ye - irish news confirmed last nite , if ireland qualify then we get to play 2 grp games in dublin.........so naturally the same applies to ye an extra massive incentive for both our nations to qualify If imagine that Glasgow and Dublin would be a cluster and that we'd have 2 groups between us. If we both qualify it could see us play 2 games at Hampden and one in Dublin and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've just looked into the process for this and it really does stink. How can The Millennium Stadium be ranked below Hampden and The Aviva Stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newryrep Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I've just looked into the process for this and it really does stink.

There is no airport of any size and not enough hotel rooms and it's wales there's three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newryrep Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Cardiff Airport is tiny by all accounts with little connectivity, and Bristol aint much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Cluster f*ck for sure but imagine the craic we wud have Im sure i flew from Cardiff airport mate - flew from it when i was over few years back for an ireland wales qual game back in 07 There needs to be a certain amount of international flights in and out of the airport, and very little use Cardiff as Bristol has the foot hold in that area. Also hotels will be bad.... For the 3 Wales v Scotland matches I have attended in Cardiff, if you are not fast, you are either paying over the odd's or out in the scrubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Tide_Rising Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 In fairness it was a tiny airport alright. Not good enough alright. Actually flew into cardiff via bristol which waa also tiny followed by a hour train journey to catdiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Tide_Rising Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Here is the link to the UEFA evaluation report for cities that submitted bids to host euro 2020 games - so you can see for yereselves the pros and cons at the ireland , scotland and wales bids http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/competitions/General/02/14/49/29/2144929_DOWNLOAD.pdf Looks to me from reading it that the major factors that went against wales getting it was airport situation and lack of accomodation in cardiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Which, if you've been an away fan going to a game in Cardiff, are fair points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am as disappointed with the referendum result....but we can, and I believe will gain independence at some stage! No one is laughing at us, it was a great debate (over the piece), and I feel that regardless of the result it has firmly put Scotland on the map!

Your right Ill be over in Glasgow supporting my lads in November and I most certainly dont have any intention of rubbing the NO vote in yere faces and Im pretty sure the majority of Irish fans will feel the same as me. There mite be a bit of harmless banter about it btwn both sets of supporters in the pubs before and after but I most certainly dont think they will be anything malicious. Just both sets of fans having the craic with each other. If honest , ive been speaking to a fair few Ireland fans about travel arrangements to Scotland in november for the game and the NO vote has only been mentioned in the context of it been global news....nothing more. England fans on the other hand will obviously be more vocal towards ye over the vote .....but FFS ye lads just stand tall and proud and ram their nonsense back down their throats by supporting yere country onto victory against them.

I have decision to make on whether I can go and watch a region of britain play football I was Scottish when I watched us play Germany, I'm Scottish today, I'll be Scottish when they put my body into the ground. Never let a political vote change what you feel about Scotland, Scotland is more important than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
