If I didn't attend Scottish football games I'd never give it a second thought. I'm approaching 50 and have seen or heard a flute band. Can't imagine many Corstorphine or Murrayfield residents turning out to see one marching down the street. To be honest I hardly ever leave Edinburgh, so realise I will have a rather narrow viewpoint The whole concept just seems utterly bizarre to me. Head 15 miles west and come and see some of this 'kulchur' in West Lothian. We have to suffer it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was something which had been thought up by ordinary citizens of Glasgow/Lanarkshire who then decided to bring in a known republican flute band. So Glasgow Council gave permission for a pro IRA march is what you are saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
