No chance mate....they hate it! just get bogged down in traffic. Best to wander into town by foot after games. Even if you do get a taxi...it won't be able to move due to the 60,000 all trying to get home (or to the pub!) So....how did you manage to get to the St mirren game? nice one! Did you enjoy the atmosphere?

That's terrible Jordan...... Sorry to hear that......hope you manage to get one somehow.

SteB....there are no real 'Away' pubs around the stadium. As I said before though, you will be welcome in the Celtic pubs en route to the stadium. Radaghast's comments were uncalled for, you are in no danger. Best bet is to spend the afternoon in the City centre which is great for pubs/restaurants etc. Couple of hours before the game, get a taxi the short distance to the 'Gallowgate'. There you will find the street leading to the stadium, full of Celtic pubs. Honestly, you will be looked after in these places and I promise you will have a great time soaking up the atmosphere before the match. From there, you can see Celtic Park which is only a 10-15min walk away. Rovermatt, I agree Parkhead is not the best area in Glasgow....but taxis don't refuse to go there! They avoid it on match days because of the large crowds....not because there is any danger! Those who make the journey will have a great time, and experience probably the best atmosphere you ever have! I'll go and find a pic of the away area as promised! Cheers

First of all, sorry to see that some of you didn't get tickets Also, for those with restricted view tickets....the new Celtic park was built around an existing stand (3 new stands). Although the away seats are in one of the new stands, the existing stand has a supporting column which stands in line with the corner....where the away fans are situated. It's only one column, but as far as I know, the restricted view seats are those that have it in the view line of one of the goals. It's not a huge column and won't be too intrusive. However, the atmosphere and occassion will be awesome....so it's still well worth going! Cheers

Tris....question for you..... Did you write in a previous message you thought Southampton were a better team than Celtic?

Simon! I was being serious....no sarcasm there! 8,000 is excellent. I was expecting around 3,000. Suppose it's a sensible idea.....considering another 10,000 would probably still make the trip. It will be a great occassion anyway! Baz....yes......the away area at Celtic Park is in the small corner next to the old stand. The restricted view is due to one of the columns of the old stand blocking the view of a line of people behind it. If you have the option of restricted view or no ticket at all...TAKE THE TICKET! it's still worth it. I'll try and find a pic somewhere of the away area so you can have a look. Cheers

Hello there Rovers fans! Nice forum you have here! Just popped in to see what the gossip is leading up to the big match between both our much loved clubs. First of all, tickets....I am so so glad you are giving us 8,000. Great gesture. Rovers could have been awkward about it and given us the standard 5%. We could have filled Ewood on our own, but 8,000 is a decent allocation. Pity there seems to be a possible shortage for your visit to Celtic Park. I hope all you travelling manage to get tickets. What will be guaranteed though is an incredible atmosphere at each ground. If you are considering travelling to Glasgow, please don't miss the chance! Get up here! You will have a brilliant time. You will never experience an atmosphere like it. You will also be welcomed by Celtic fans in Glasgow....please feel free to visit the 'Gallowgate'.....which leads to Celtic Park and is full of Celtic pubs. You will be made to feel at home. I'll definitely be down for the game at Ewood. Any suggestions where to visit before the game? best pubs to go to etc.? Hope it's a great match.....I won't be making predictions! Cheers, SMc P.S. All the best for tomorrow v Newcastle....hope you stuff them!
