It's good to have a bit more clarity up until Christmas for any of us who are able to go. Recently you've not really been aware we've been playing until a day or so before, or even that day which is too short notice for most of us. Looks exciting............

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 At the very minimum i'll do Brentford and Southampton. A few days in Spain in January could be a goer. Hopefully when they say Spain they actually mean the Canaries, and not somewhere rainy like Galicia Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why they want to move from there to be honest. There is also a pub on every corner of the ground. They are a bit interesting because they have done away with their youth academy and I think sign guys for their development squad when they get released from other academies.

Will book Benfica and Alkmaar maybe tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to do the European aways but i'm likely to be starting a new job soon and i'm worried if I book I won't be able to get time off. I'm pissed off I only found out about Feyenoord the day of the game. Would have been there in a heartbeat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I remember when there used to be the old Reserve League, and we'd be playing the same team, as the 1st team were, but at opposite grounds. Some reserve games at Ibrox, where they only opened the enclosure, and main stand, as it was then, could be pretty packed out, especially the enclosure, which was a lot cheaper. (The main stand could've been empty for all I know, as I always went to the enclosure.) I was living in Edinburgh, a good while back, and the reserves were playing Hearts at Tynecastle. I decided to go to the game, as I'd been working until lunchtime, and might not have made it through to Ibrox on time. It was the same there, enclosure, and main stand open, and it was pretty full. There were quite a few Rangers fans at the game, and when we scored early on, there were cheering from different sections. As the 2nd half got underway, you could move from one side of the enclosure to the next, and I decided to move as it was all old Hearts fans about me. When I moved I was quite surprised at the amount of Rangers fans at the game. There was enough for a few of the traditional songs to get sung, and when the team scored again, it felt better cheering them amongst our own. I used to go to a few reserve games, when the 1st team games were called off, and remember being at Ibrox against the taigs( we weren't playing them til the Sunday) The place was packed, but it was still just the enclosure and main stand open. It was a good day out, and usually cheap as well. I wonder why they changed it all? I moved too far away to go to any reserve games later, but if I still lived in the central belt, I'd go along to some of the 'Wee' team games, if I couldn't get to the 'Big' team game for any reason.??
