Canadaready 9,437 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We've already had a bit of a chat about this one CR.....Ya, but I am approaching it from a somewhat stranger angle. NARSA itself, and I have read the president say, isn't keen on the idea.Makes me wonder if Rangers are in touch with people over here about it. You wouldn't want the day one sided with respect to fans. We only filled about 1/10th of the place in Toronto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd be happy with us touring over there with DMB and Edu but I'd rather we didn't play the scum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I hope this goes ahead, would be a massive chance for us to hit America with Edu in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidrfc1873 12 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Pish poor idea! Every potato picker under the sun would crawl out from there cardboard box in boston to go to this. Don't think the cops could prevent any trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLUWDC 1 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I am not a big fan of this idea. Boston just seems like the absolute most one sided location ever. If something like this was to be done, you'd think it would be in a place that would not involve having thousands of Bears travelling into such a 'Celtic' friendly atmosphere. I really wouldn't expect the Boston police to be able to deal with this if it got ugly. NARSA emotions on it are mixed. Great to be able to travel to a game in North America, but the location of the proposed meeting is highly suspect.I suppose. I would have preferred Toronto and played in the BMO Field with a 50-50 split, that way it stops 50,000 Americans pretending to be Irish for the day.

Agreed, but what about the 50,000 Americans who don't just pretend to be Scottish... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowda 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Oh crap, they are playing this at Fenway Park.Yeah, expect to pay out the ass for this one. And I hope they know enough to have segregated sections.For the hockey game on 1/1: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be fun, but they shouldn't be playing football at a baseball stadium--the site lines were bad enough for the Winter Classic. God, this is a disaster.

bmccall 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The Sox are willing to do just about anything to make money these days. I think pretty much every date this summer where baseball isn't being played they're having concerts or something else. But I just don't get why Gillette wouldn't be the venue, considering it has more than double the capacity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy2212 151 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I just googled fenway park it holds around 37-38,000, is a baseball stadium big enough for a pitch looks kinda small and square from that picture Chowda posted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMartini 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 A Horrible horrible idea, fair enough playing friendlies in the states and trying to get a bit of exposure, but i am dead set against playing them in a friendly. Hope to god this never goes through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polar bear 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I am hoping this is all paper talk.Boston is the last place in north America Rangers would want to set foot.There are more Plastic Paddies there,than there is in the west of Scotland.

At least Gillette is out of the town and the police are used to moving the traffic around that area and not everyone will go back into the city.
