Guest John Meurig Thomas Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 ..how many people went to Murrayfield yesterday that more than likely would have went to Hamilton if the rugby hadn't been on?

portobellojambo1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Having the cash to go to either the rugby or Hamilton & choosing to watch rugby - It's the reasons I like to hear. If my work said to me would you like to go along to Murrayfield, taxi to and from ground, take 4 pals, free grub and free booze all day, premium seats, I'd tell them to ram it up their fecking ass, still rather be at New Douglas Park. If a close friend/associate invited me to Murrayfield I'd tell him/her to feck off as well, why a football fan would rather attend a rugby match, or feels compelled to attend, when there is football to go to feckin bamboozles me.

It is possible to have more than one sporting interest in life so hardly bamboozling, although nine times out of ten I would choose the soccer The exception would be that free grub and booze gig you're on about.

A few years ago, we played Raith Rovers at home on the same day as Scotland played at Murrayfield; the matches were then allowed to kick off at roughly the same time. A Rovers supporting friend of mine was sitting next to another Rovers fan who'd been invited by his son to the corporate hospitality at Murrayfield. He ate his pre-match meal and drank his free booze at Murrayfield before leaving to watch Rovers play at Tynecastle. After the game, he was planning on returning to Murrayfield for the post match hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Nah students wernt included sadly! As I said on another thread last night it appeared that anyone, irrespective of age or whether or not a student, who asked if they could get in for a tenner was allowed to do so. The only down side were the concession tickets were green and white. I ain't no student nor an OAP and all I paid to get in yesterday was ?10.

Troon Jambo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Personally I would go to watch Hearts over Scotland regardless of sport. In this particular case it would be a tough choice. I think rugby is a fantastic game, second only to golf. I prefer to watch football and would watch Hearts play at any level and any game if the opportunity arose. The negative comments about rugby on here are unecessary and the thrill of watching Scotland winning a Six Nations game is pretty special at a full Murrayfield. (Especially when they are so rare)Club Rugby does not get the support or backing that it deserves. Edinburgh should be able to support it's 3 professional sports teams better than it does. In regards to golf, how many Hearts fans are big golfers? Where do the Hearts fans play? Are there any Jambo Golf Clubs? I grew up playing at Kilmarnock (Barassie) and a large majority of the fans were naturally Kilie fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Edinburgh should be able to support it's 3 professional sports teams better than it does. There are more than 3 professional sports teams in Edinburgh. Though if you saw the state of one of them currently, you might not be able to attach the 'professional' tag to them. Its a common complaint of many that Edinburgh does not support any of its sporting teams enough, football or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Long ago when work didn't interfere with my weekends, the Six Nations would take preference (drawing Hibs in the cup during the Six Nations block would be the only football fixture worth considering). Some blinding days out and the occasion bonus of Scotland winning. Autumn tests.... depends on who we're playing. A Pacific Island team, Japan or Canada then I'd choose the football. One of the big three however, then I'd go to Murrayfield just in case Scotland made a rare bit of history. And if there are some out there who don't like it then tough!

I use to play Rugby, absolutley brilliant game to play... As for all the stupid comments about the game of rugby. I choose to look at the bigger picture.. If you don't make it as a footballer! that's it? Give up and become a drunking fat slob... Everything in this country's geared towards football and we are still **** at it... All sports should be encouraged..especially in Scotland, as a nation our health is pathetically poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
