That stadium in Cardiff is brilliant and will stand the test of time. It's bang in the city centre as well, when you consider the constraints they were under due to the old Arms Park and the proximity of the river. They nailed it 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They nailed it 100% Even if they insisted on keeping the Hampden site, with all the shite transport links and congestion that it brings, they should have done the job properly and flattened the whole stadium, including Lesser Hampden, and built a new rectangular shaped stadium in the middle of the site with parking all round it. Its unbelievable the money that was spent just to rebuild the South Stand, while the other three sides are still basically the old terracing and North Enclosure with seats. FFS they still have grass embankments behind the Sellik End, you can't walk right round the perimeter to get access, and it's right on Somerville Drive with no chance of expanding it. National Disgrace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Scotland off to a great start by beating the paddies at Murrayfield and thanks to England and Wales for winning me a few quid. Scotland v France in Paris next is a bastard of a hard game though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sort the set piece out and we should at least give them a game. Need to try and stretch them and get our backs running at them, especially Hogg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,532 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 When will Scotland ditch that awful National Anthem? Watch FoS then the La Marseillaise and you can see how much more inspiring the latter is than the former, It's an embarrassment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,913 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Scotland are a good team now and that 2nd half yesterday was superb, in Stuart Hogg we have imo the best player out the lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
