W6er Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 My tickets arrived the other day, so I thought I would start the match thread in anticipation. Normally I'd want to give this fixture a miss, especially as it costs £30 a ticket! However, it's part of a birthday celebration. Obviously I'm not expecting anything, but we've never lost to Celtic on March 7th! Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I don't have great expectations but of the two big Glasgow Team's Stadiums, I prefer Celtic Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt both the Old Firm stadiums are world class, and their European achievements over the last couple of seasons demonstrate their ability to compete with some of the best. But £30 for that view is just taking the mickey. I have been told their stewards are likely to treat us like cattle, too. I love supporting the underdog, though. There's something noble about supporting the Saints when faced with opposition like that. I'd just love it if we beat them, but realise that's extremely unlikely.

Should the Irish determine their own status.. Whether that be United or in Two Parts is up to them. I have no Irish lineage so I have no axe to grind either way. History is littered though with Freedom Movements prior to Independence from colonial powers, whether that be from Britain or any others.

Agreed. I've found the stewards to be OK. Never personally had a problem with them. That doesn't mean that nobody has. I've been lucky enough to see us win there a few times. The most memorable for me was with a late winner scored by Alex Beckett who was a full back. A screamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What world class stadiums have you visited? No, it won't be my first. I've been to Hampden, Ibrox, Celtic Park, Villa Park, Tynecastle and Easter Road! 😂 So point taken, but it is considered a fine stadium. Of all of those, Tynecastle's my favourite because of the steep slope and closeness to the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holt end physically moves when it is full and has a noisy crowd in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite was the Paris World Cup Stadium in St Denis, Paris. Of the UK ones then Celtic Park. Of the African ones, Cape Town World Cup Stadium. Got to admit that I had great fun at these and others not on the list. Edited February 23, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
