  1. Says it on the website and the conformation email.
  2. That’s all I could think of unless they’re bringing the pillar from Celtic Park over. Just wondered if anyone knew as I’ve been to every stand at Hampden and never knew there was a restricted view. Find out soon I guess just glad I’ve got a ticket.
  3. Tickets that were left are “restricted view” what restricted views are there at Hampden? It’s Cat 1 which is South or North stand. Anyone know what the restriction is?
  4. Hope they're selling it in blocks and an additional allocation is available if we sell that out, 1524 is a tiny allocation for an 81,000 seater stadium. If anyone doesn’t get a ticket the SFA need to explain why they’ve taken less than the 5% as I thought that was the guaranteed amount? I’m down to 5 points having lived in the USA for three years only returned in May and I booked Russia as we should all easily get a ticket. I’ll be pretty angry if I’ve wasted money on flights, hotel and visa as the SFA didn’t take the full allocation. Certainly not going in the home end in Russia that’s for sure.
  5. Thanks for replies wasn’t aware it was 100% pick up if you lived abroad guess that solves my problem. Would normally send it to my fathers address and get it from him but he’s not going to Peru or Mexico.
  6. Hey guys currently living in the USA and managed to get the Peru game off sadly working for the Mexico one. Does anyone know if I can collect a ticket at the game as I’m not confident if it’s posted late it will get here on time. Happy to collect, has anyone arranged to do this with the SFA before? Thanks for any info.
  7. Shocking performance, not even trying to play just kick it up the park.
  8. Here are the channels showing the game. Slovenia vs. Scotland, FOX Sports 2, DIRECTV NOW, Sling Blue and fuboTV (7-day free trial) http://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-qualifiers-tv-schedule/
  9. Hi Fairbairn, I live in Vegas and will be heading to McMullans which is about a mile west of the strip next to the Orleans casino they should be showing the game, I hope, Certainly showed yesterday’s. Crown and Anchor will almost certainly show the England game not sure if it can show both but it will be rammed full of English fans. Feel free to join me at McMullans for a beer.
  10. Just saw this on Facebook shame to hear, not posted in ages (my old job I used to do lots of night shifts and I got 3 year job in the USA) member since 2004 although more a reader than a poster. Was always a good source of information and debate for tickets and travel. Hope you guys save / find a new forum for this. Pie and Bovril would proably be the best to use if this does go as it's not club specific and has fans from every club with a specific section for Scotland talk away from club ones which could be used for many of the topics here. Best of luck trying to save the site, if it keeps going I will remember to look in now and again. If not I look forward to seeing you all at future Scotland games 2019 onwards although getting my points back up could be difficult from 10-0 in three years
  11. How about play strikers who score goals and have some form Fletcher and Martin are totally out of form and aren't scoring, we have guys like Griffiths, Rhodes and McCormack but none of them ever get a chance up top over the last 4 years. On day one Strachan said he would pick players on form not reputation yet he does the exact opposite if a player isn't playing for his club or playing well he shouldn't be in the starting eleven as he isn't match sharp we have far too many living on their reputation who get a game no matter what. Also seems to be a few Strachan doesn't like for what ever reason Rhodes and Bardsley spring to mind. We aren't Brazil we don't have enough good players to not pick the ones you aren't pals with. For me he should be watching the club games running up to the Internationals, seeing who is playing, seeing who is playing well and then picking those players and only if we are short in an area does he call up players who are subs or reserves for their club. We don't have any superstars who should always get picked so it should be 100% on their club form.
  12. Honestly don't know where we are going wrong anymore, as a nation we are football mad per head of population we must have one of the largest football watching public's on the planet. Why aren't we producing players then? When was the last great player we produced? Wales has a population smaller than ours and football isn't their main sport yet they produce class players like Giggs, Bale and Ramsey. Ireland the same with the Keane's yet football is a minority sport there. I honestly don't know where the problem is and I doubt the SFA does either. Statistically we should be producing players better than these two examples more consistently from the pool of youngsters available alone. Where is the problem Manager? Everyone has failed since Paw Broon and his teams were hardly great League standard? It's mince but 100 times better than Wales or ROI our best players end up in England the same as theirs Culture / Diet? Can we really be that much worse than Wales/Ireland/NI in this You can blame the manager, the fans, the media but the truth is there is something seriously wrong in taking Scottish youngsters and producing footballers. Countries far smaller who aren't even fans of the game are doing something we aren't and the SFA need to highlight the problem our players have poor control and lack confidence. We have no stand outs and haven't had one for decades.
  13. No idea if they do was just an example, it came from a Dutch fan I was talking to before the 3-0 Amsterdam game who said they had a problem with it and asked if we had a similar problem with Celtic/Rangers, not sure if they do or not maybe he was full of it but there was a heck of a big police presence in Rembrandt square where the Dutch fans were pre match and very few on Dam square / Canal Strasse where most of our fans were. My experience with the Dutch fans has been 100% positive personally.
