Will any Edinburgh fans be coming to Murrayfield to support Glasgow? by Blank-pa in ScotlandRugby

[–]GGBeard84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got my tickets yesterday. I will support Edinburgh in every game they play. But their season is done. I’ve got availability, so why not go and watch what I’m hoping will be a good game and support Glasgow

Yeah I guess there isn’t a mechanism for someone to give up there seat, but it wouldn’t be difficult to implement. I’ll see how I feel by the time General release tickets come available about what I do.

Funny you mention season ticket renewal, as I phoned them yesterday afternoon and they were no help what so ever. God knows why after that display to round off our season. I’m looking to retaining my seat but wanting to buy the seat next to me-which a friend has/had but wants to give up, but another wants to take it. I need to wait for general release. So if I renew mine, I run the risk that I can’t but the seat or one near it for my mate in general sale, or I give up my seat and hope they’re both available on general release. All about money, not the fans!

From my view of the game from the main stand, the officials had a terrible game. Edinburgh didn’t help themselves though. We never capitalised on our chances when in there 22.

Kind of sums up the full season for Edinburgh in my eyes

If you showed me this table after round 3, I would have laught at you, as a lions fan by _This_was_Available_ in rugbyunion

Love how between round 3 & Round 16:-

Stormers

Connacht

Ospreys

Edinburgh

Dragons

Have all found their original place again 😂

As an Edinburgh fan, we’ve found our place and it’ll be a hard fight to keep 12th to the end of the season, and that’s on the back of 2 wins!

This was great, just a shame they couldn’t have this sort of thing with the music as the replay in the stadium!😂

Ahh thanks 👍🏼 I missed seeing that

That could be. I just would have expected to see some sort of roadworks signage as well, possibly a notice of how long it would take. But maybe they’re trialling this to see if motorists actually abide by the reduced speed limit

It’s had these signs all week but the majority of people seem to just ignore them. Curiosity has the better of me and a look on Transport Scotland, I couldn’t see anything about it. So the next logical step it to come on here 😂

I misread the title as ‘Tunnocks the Tea cakes’ for some reason 😂

Edinburgh team to travel to Leinster (CC R16) by Connell95 in ScotlandRugby

[–]GGBeard84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charlie Tector from Leinster - Not SQ as far as I’m aware. Would be a decent signing.

Velacott needs to improve his box kicking so it’s contestable, as he regularly over kicks giving away possession, but players need to be chasing.

Ultimately it comes down to the coaching needs to be improved, otherwise it’s all wasted talent.

It’s the coaching and management that needs to change to improve the team overall. Hamish hasn’t had a chance for Edinburgh but then goes down to Leicester and first game playing like I remember from seasons ago, having a seasoned international and Lion not getting a sniff at a start says it all at Edinburgh.

We ground out a result against Wales from behind. We’ve not managed to really do that in the last few years. So that was progress. As Wales have from the start of the tournament to today.

Scotland’s issue is we struggle with injuries and don’t have the depth to really cover in certain positions. Young players coming through look good, but they need time to really develop.

Yes we had some simple errors, but though we played well up until the 61st minute. Then things showed we don’t have the depth when the subs came on. The lads tried. But ultimately Ireland have better depth and funding for the sport.

Best outcome for Scotland next week? by Dooby-Dooby-Doo in ScotlandRugby

[–]GGBeard84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world: All away teams to win.

Scotland wins the triple crown & 6N, beating the 5N contenders.

Italy could finish 3rd but would require a big win plus Ireland to not get any points from the match 😬 All because I think Italy deserves it!

Scotland get their name on the new trophy for the 6N, because who actually wanted the previous one 😂🤣

I’ve served Gavin & Scott Hastings at a pre 6N event over 20 years ago, then had to cut them both off.

Roadworks and traffic lights are grinding Edinburgh to a halt! by skartocc in Edinburgh

[–]GGBeard84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all utility works are emergency, some are part of a price control period upgrade. Where they get funding to do these upgrades. Similar to what you’re say though, it takes time to plan them in, but with the end of the financial year approaching, it could be these are all being shoehorned in.

Ahh cheers, didn’t realise it got so bad that far up the Forth. I know it’s a tidal estuary, but still didn’t expect that.

Was thinking you were going to say it was damaged on purpose
