Mind you do Liverpool not have some sort of cringe brotherhood kind of thing with Celtic ? I seem to remember them all holding hands and singing YNWA together a while back. Gerry Marsden led the choir I believe. So if some of their brothers from the west turn up it should boost the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see the appeal myself. I watched Liverpool play the Malaysia National Team in KL a few years back - The stadium was sold out in two days. 50,000 Malaysians supporting Liverpool against their own country. All of these international friendlies is about taking their brands globally for fans to see them play live. No different than NFL games being played at Wembley, Scotland playing internationals at pittodrie, etc.... This will sell out easily in my opinion. I'm organising going with 11 friends and their kids. We want to see world-class quality players playing in our home city when the opportunity arises.

Its about selling the brand to other countries. Dave is right - it’s a common thing but doesn’t sit right that we are so happy to accommodate. But I suppose the EPL tide is relentless so we may as well sell a few cheap scarves to rip off the fanboys even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm happy for them to be friendlies but I draw the line when it comes to domestic games playing abroad - (iirc and stand to be corrected) as was muted for the Spanish Cup to be played in the US.

We may be shite, we may enjoy seeing top players but we’re not a country where football requires promoting like this. Liverpool is 4 hours down the road, FFS, so there’s no excuse for plastics not to go see them at their own ground in preseason. If their pitch isn’t ready they should play at Goodison or not at all. I believe the game was earmarked for Spurs' new stadium on this date but due unavailability, they had to find an alternative venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be embarrassed that the switched on lads at Murrayfield have stolen a march on them. It's not a competitive game, it's an entertainment event. No different, in my view, to a concert by someone like the Rolling Stones or any band with global appeal - great to have it in Edinburgh during tourist season. It's not taking anything away from local clubs and, as others have said, the marketing boys and girls at HMFC should be having a conflab today about how they can capitalise on 40,000 or so people with an interest in football within a mile of Tynecastle Park. Fact of the matter is, Murrayfield is rightly recognised as a top venue by people outside of Scotland. Hampden is recognised for the shitheap it is.
