ibelieve!!! Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 My, my. We are getting rewarded. I think it might actually be to avoid a negative crowd for Murray if it had been somewhere south of the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I think the crowd would be positive regardless of where it was played - as he'll be wearing GB colours. However, I expect the crowd to be largely against him at the WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Guys, four of the last six home matches in the Davis Cup have been in Glasgow, it's a regular venue. Stop trying to make it something it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbrew Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 For early March it`s got to be indoor. Elsewhere in Europe where sports like basketball are popular it`s probably easy to find indoor venues with capacities of between 4000 and 10000 but in Scotland , England or Wales it may not be so easy without spending a lot on building a court in a concert venue.

Gonna be in the Emirates Arena, building a court for said event with over 7k capacity - all there in the Toepoke post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be perfect for tennis - but I can't see them selling 10,000+ for the Davis Cup. Would love to be proved wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with football, we suffer by not having slightly bigger venues (in football Easter Road and Pittodrie not big enough for big cup semis or Scotland qualifiers against medium teams (assuming Hampden is used ).against bigger teams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
