scoot4nat Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 One of my European Qualifiers is at Celtic Park. Every other home game has been at Hampden. Any ideas why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL7 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The SFA probably rented it out to U2/<insert band here> as these non-football events are clearly of more importance to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoot4nat Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 The SFA probably rented it out to U2/<insert band here> as these non-football events are clearly of more importance to them LOL I wouldn't be surprised! I actually though I has stumbled on the answer - the Challenge Cup Semi Final between those two giants of the footballing world...Raith Rovers and Clyde. But after close inspection the venue for that particular match was not a neutral one. Odd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Dean Gripton Posted March 26, 2009 SI Staff Share Posted March 26, 2009 What venue was it for that Challenge Cup semi, please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoot4nat Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 What venue was it for that Challenge Cup semi, please? Ehm Stark's Park I think - Raith's ground. I'll double check though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think they occasionally play games away from Hampden, just for a bit of a change. I remember one game not so far back, was played in Edinburgh (Hearts' or Hibs' ground, Can't remember). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNWALFC Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 They play their friendlies at different grounds but in this case that will not apply. IRL Scotland played their first Euro 2008 Qualifying game at Celtic Park against the Faroe Islands because of a Robbie Williams concert. As somebody has already said that may be the reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoot4nat Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Would this be pre-loaded into the game? Seems odd because this was a European Qualifier. Yes Scotland occasionaly play friendlys away from Hampden. Think we played Trinidad & Tobago at Easter Road a few years back, the idea being that it would be a sell out where as Hampden wouldbe half full for a game like that. Doesn't happen very often now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNWALFC Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Im glad it does not happen now. You can beat going to watch Scotland at Hampden Park. That is where I have seen the best matches of my life. That just tells you the quality of football that I watch every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
