  1. Visited the Museum today on a stadium tour & museum ticket. Highly recommended. The museum was better in real life compared to a video I watched.

    The stadium tour included the Blue Room (directors do the loving cup there), the manager's office, away dressing room, home dressing room, down the tunnel and sit in the dugout and the trophy room.

    The museum has a lot of exhibits and interactive displays. Some items moved there from the trophy room. Well worth a visit.
    Keep on moving though because audio cuts out on some exhibits when they think no one is there :)

    Haven't spoken much about it since I've been back, cup final was class and helped.

    Anyway, bumping the guitar off some local and getting the streets into a chorus of a few select cultured songs on the day was some laugh, and will never forget the train from Madrid down.

    Noise was incredible, Frankfurt fans gobsmacked, shout out to the Qatar Loyal boys who were some laugh, drinking from early and then keeping the bar going.

    Choruses of "we're aff the train, we're aff the train" to We're On Our Way made me laugh a lot more than it probably shld have at the time :lol:

    Special shout out to older bears that travelled and shared some gold dust stories.  Some of the stories I got told at London, Madrid airports were incredible about seeing Baxter, Jardine and much more. Was a privilege to talk about some of those moments with people who were there at the time, and ask about modern v old players, who's better etc over a few beers.  Funnily enough a good few of them said Laudrup was best only because he married the old technique of Baxter etc with modern athlete. But I'm sure many will have different ideas but class to talk Rangers for hours to folk you've just met.

    These phrases can be cliche but was genuinely like a massive family, never been prouder to be a Rangers fan.

    Also great to get support and respect from fans in England/Spain/Germany - we have a great profile in Europe, the small minded resentment and lust for us to be 'the bad guys' in this country is nauseating, but unsurprising.

    I didn't tell any Barcelona 72 stories. Didn't really get in to that sort of thing with other fans.

    Re Brian Laudrup, He was unplayable for the first umpteen games. All the other teams had to learn how to play against him.

    I though that our fans got on well with the Germans. Lots of people going out of their way to chat to them and wish them luck.

    IMHO the heat had a great deal to do with the way we played the game. Note that our first goal was scored by an African player who was used to the heat. Still it was a much better showing than Manchester where he didn't turn up.

  3. Yes, of course. We had a great European run and an amazing mini-break in Seville for those who went. The club brought in lots of cash and we had lots of press exposure for our amazing fan base at the final.

    Nothing you can do about injuries. We would have been better with a full squad but that's life.

    The Scottish Cup has been missing for too long and I'm delighted to have it back home.

    We had to change manager part way through the season and it's astonishing how well the team coped with that.

    I don't give a fig about the team who won the league. We built the coefficient which they now benefit from and that's a pain but it happened and we move on.

    Mate I’ve just checked it looks cool. Im now fucked don’t know whether to book there or the stadium. Only trouble is that one doesn’t open until 5 and stadium opens from 11am. 

    the price changed from 35 euros to 40 euros as I was watching. Got a shot of the 35 euro price :)

  5. I got as far as the purchase screen. It shows coloured bands of seats with buttons to select.

    (light blue dark blue and red with a 4th row with an inferior view.

    In Spanish you see buttons like:- [seleccionare]  gol sur grada baja S114 (10 euro plus 1.50 fee)

    Once you select there is a continue at the bottom. Says it holds selection for 15 minutes.

    After I clicked continue I got no further.

    As it's a ticketing site for lots of events I guess they took it down to help locals get other tickets.

    I recommend looking at the stadium itself so you can see the seats in better detail to make picking easier.

  6. Finally booked transport. 5 airports 3 airlines plus a couple of trains, two nights in Sevilla and one in Madrid.

    Assuming we don't have tickets hoping their fan zone setup is good. There are stadiums and a bull ring though the town squares don't look big enough. 

    I think my Barcelona trip in '72 was £75 all in for a day trip including flights, coaches and the game.

     

  7. Just realised I have loads of BA air miles so there might be a way to go via London without spending too many hundreds.

    I'm not too bothered about a hotel for the night but probably Malaga or even Faro would work. Faro depends on getting a bus back there after the game. Car hire works too but then a drink is out for the driver.

    When I went to Barcelona in '72 it was a same day charter flight. Fell asleep at work the next day.
