I am just back and the Stadium is awesome. The whole complex is massive,with training fields,plenty of car parks where you can park and drive away without waiting in queue's. I think there was a Hotel although we didn't walk round that far. Because they have built it on a hill the only steps we had to climb were outside the stadium and well away from where the crowds would be dense. For the rest it is just an amble up the hill. Around the stadium is a large walkway and once you are at that level you walk in to the main hall and in to the football area with only the steps to your seat to walk. It certainly did not seem steep to me. Obviously to the top tiers you will have steps to climb. Because it is so big and so many ways to leave there were absolutely no areas we had any problem walking because of crowds. It was a small crowd today but even if it is full i don't see them having any problems. There were drink and bradwurst wagons all round so it was easy to get something to drink. To get a drink in the stadium you have to get a pay card and put at least 5 euro's on it. At the end of the game i had no problem getting my excess money back. A good system as it cuts down waiting at the bars. The atmosphere inside the ground disappointed me really. Apart from now and again one half of the crowd shouting Shalke and the other half shouting 04 there was only a few poor tries at the wave to get excited about. The football certainly didn't help to get the fans worked up, but that is for another thread. If i can workout how to make my picture's smaller i will post them up.Any advice is welcome.

Listen more to you. Nah i'll pass on that one. i doubt if i would learn much about loyalty. If i start a karaoke club i will phone you.

I don't see Fleck getting a start.McCulloch or Adam will get the spot on the left

I'll wave to her.

Trying to pick a team is murder. I think Wattie would like to go 4-5-1 but do we have 5 midfielder's to play. -------------Alexander------------- Broadfoot----Webster----Weir-----Papac Novo---Dailly----Thomson McCulloch---Whittekar --------------------Miller---------- Not the team i would pick but i feel Water will go that way. If Hemdani is fit Daily will probably be at the back instead of Webster -------------Alexander----------- Whittekar----Webster-----Weir-----Papac Novo----Thomson------Adam\Dailly------McCulloch --------Velicka---------Miller--- Shit i forgot to mention Boyd. 73 minute Any bets.

It is you that is changing the traditions mate by wanting to boo a Rangers player. We lesser supporters stand above that.

I am sure he is the first Rangers keeper i saw although i was too young to be 100% sure. He was certainly a loved name in our household. RIP George

How often have you sung: Though the road be long and narrow we will follow we will? I think the clue might lie in the word supporter.

My boat has broken down that is why i am not on holiday. Looking forward to it even although our team is sadly weakened. So that is a love-heart to Boyd from Jon. A love-heart to Kenny Miller from Maineflyer. Anyone i forgot.

I will be honest i didn't want Miller back but i would never boo a Rangers player unless he done something on the park to dishonour the club. As far as i am concerned he has a blank canvas and i will judge him on present form.

Going through to the game tomorrow with a mate. Only 23.000 tickets have been sold, so tickets go on sale before the match. About 1hr 10min drive for me on a great motorway that is not very busy. It is also live on German tv free to air for those who don't have Setanta but can turn their satellite dish to Astra 2. It is on WDR. If i can find my Fcking Camera i will take some foto's.

Amen! Nice piece Wijacalscot;)

I was actually following his progress for the last two years as i remember when he was signed. And yes i will be interested to see how he gets on.

White-man speak with forked tongue.

I will admit i edge on the negative when it comes to Walter Smith. I do not mean i will not support him i just don't think he is the right man for the job. We definitely need a midfield play-maker. A 16 year old advanced midfielder is not going to make the difference. I was always told you have to have a strong backbone meaning CH,CM and striker to have a strong team. We lack at centre-half and centre midfield. My glass may be half full but it is the top half that is empty.

I have planned to travel through with a mate. i just hope you can buy a ticket before the game. I can't see it being sold out.

I went for Boyd I think it will be easier in the championship than the SPL. ;)

They are desperate for a striker, they are just trying to get the best deal just as we are.

I guess official is not official any more.

When you said you liked the look of him we didn't realise you were talking about football.

I will be honest i haven't voted yet but i honestly don't think Boyd will be a Rangers player next season. I have said that from the start. Watty has to say he is part of his plans otherwise his value drops. It is a nightmare trying to pick a team at the moment we really need one or two midfielder's. Furman has obviously no chance as McCulloch was preferred to him even although he is never a central midfielder. If you wanted to give Furman a chance, today was the day to do it.

That is maybe not a bad shout. A Balde Cuellar pairing may be awsome.

I am looking more to Velicka to be our main striker. He seemed to create a lot tonight. I am finding it hard to believe Walter is going to go with a 4-4-2 it is just not in his nature. Saturday will say more about our shape i think.

McGregor will score more than Miller next season.( Maybe not on the park though.)

Definitely on suicide watch.
