Ticket sales just shy of 20,000 so far

That's not a picture of the old Scotstoun... used to train my women's team there, and the amount of glass in the grass was a thing of mingled wonder and distress... no sparkle in that picture.

Where's the red blaze - just to give it that authentic weegie look?

It wasn't tied down.






Traveller - Aye, ALO for the Zimbos, Frillage looking after Arg.

I'm ALO for the home team, I guess I'll catch up with you guys on Sunday afternoon then

Pft that doesnt even count as being an LO. You will get on with your LO, she is great and knows what she is doing.

Yeah first year. I think they took me on because I told them I know how to get to most of the clubs in Glasgow, I got the impression they were a wee bit concerned about people getting lost

I wasn't sure if having the home team would be easier or create even more work, I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Looks weak.

pick up some vaseline for your boys before you finish work for the week1

I'm a nice guy but unless you want your lads walking like John Wayne after the match then bloody well buy your own.

Thought it was mainly white guys in Zimbo squad?;-)

please change thread title to sevens pre Glasgow leg spite thread!;-)

Ordered my weekend ticket yesterday afternoon, arrived in the post this morning. Impressive! I feel a drunken weekend looming on the horizon...can't wait!

Hp, traveller, frillage, how's the preparations going? Will be good to see how our new home for next year functions with a crowd. I know some people dislike Firhill, but it will still be an emotional farewell Saturday night. Have had some great times there!

US squad will be 12 of these 14:

They're going grand. Not spoken to Traveller much but I'm sure he's enjoying his cushy assignment


And

While some of us have spent the day sitting on a bus tour of Glasgow, others have been doing actual work

So far so good Steph, only Scotland and the Aussies are actually here so far but the rest are on their way and things are going to ramp up from tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to see Scotstoun yet but Hp and Frillage have been over there and apparently it's looking good.

Just incase I don't see you tomorrow. When they show you around Scotstoun ffs take notes of everything, everything!! There's loads of bits and pieces.

Cheers for that, probably not going to be there until Wednesday morning so let me know if there's anything you'd like me to double-check for you.

<Bumpus> Anyone else here going?

I'm working but wouldn't be going anyway. Don't like the idea of it being in Scotstoun
