Kick off delayed until 4,15

Buses were a nightmare too, walked past the city link queue and ppl were pushing and arguing trying to get on it

The que in the que's out. Far worse than Hampden. I'm standing in the fishing rain waiting for a tram, still 30 mins to wait so that'll be 2 hrs after full time.

Edinburgh trams are a vanity project. Glad we don’t need to suffer this when travelling to Ibrox.
 
The views were better than hampden

But roof leaking on me all 2nd half

Pregame we had to do a whole lap of the stadium and queue to get in. Felt like 30/40minutes from car. On the way out a few extra gates being open meant it was less than 10mins from exit to car. Feel like more planning and it would be fine
 
Home within an hour, delayed for 20 minutes on the train. Usually takes me 2 1/2 hours to get back from Hampden and it’s closer to my house than Ibrox!

Both Hampden & Murrayfield are shiteholes though. Getting back to Ibrox can’t come quick enough.
 
I walked past at least twenty double decker buses queued up ready to take people to Waverley station. Looked like they were free too. They were between Sainsburys and the bridges at the western approach road.

The views would be ok if you had binoculars. The first row is a ridiculous distance away from the perimeter of the pitch.

Not a stadium for football.
 
Home in Cumbernauld quicker than the average journey from Ibrox or Hampden, as an aside I regularly get dripped on in the Club Deck.

Must have been to Murrayfield 20 times for rugby, concerts and now football and never had a problem getting in.

Im in Edinburgh quite often and more often than not the trams are virtually empty.
However i do find the bus service to be good.

Managed to get a Tram quite early : but heard stories of horrendous waiting times at previous events
 
Getting into the ground at the North/West end took us almost an hour & at the end of it no-one even checked our tickets! I actually think the Police told them to just open it up to get the crowd moving.

Was there 90 minutes before ko with my boy and got turned away 3 times from the turnstiles that we'd been directed to by the stadium security. The organization today was farcical, eventually had to get the police called over to get let in. Won't be venturing to Murrayfield again as that was a dreadful experience.

Agree, it was absolutely hopeless. In the end our tickets didn’t even get checked!

Roof leaking is a pre requisite for a Man U game these days.
 
Has it deteriorated that bad then ?

I remember last time we played Hearts there when Tynecastle was undergoing works fans seemed to like it ? Maybe the fact we won made a difference :)
 
Murrayfield is the best venue in Scotland bar Ibrox. Never had any bother anytime I’ve been to watch the rugby or when hearts played there
 
I could nt watch anymore of Dessers, left at 60mins. Parked in the Q park behind haymarket and was home up the A70 in an hour!
 
The queues on the way in, caused by people being funneled thru gates and a significant amount of time before kick off, were an absolute joke. Took a lot of the shine off my wee boys day as he ended up standing crammed in like sardines and soaked through before even getting into the game.

Apparently it's not like that for the rugby....

Never understood the attraction of Murrayfield. It always ends up getting used as a stick to hit Hampden with it but to me they are two cheeks of the same arse.
Last time I went to Murrayfield was the Hearts game. We were behind the goals on the lower tier and it felt miles away from the action and we should know as we sit in Club Deck ffs :))

Yeah bud, folk sometimes slag the club deck who don't sit there but in reality you're right on top of the action.

Murrayfield is a nice station but says a lot when we're happier to go to Hampden for games.

Thankfully we're away for weekend at least the first league game there.
.
 
Did anybody park in the shitshow that was the field at the park and ride at the airport? Took nearly an hour to get out of it and cars stuck in the mud.
 
While we would never know the set-up of getting in would be totally different if we did use as 'home venue'

Even before 3pm there was problems in getting in
 
That was a shambles today. Getting into stadium was a mess then Haymarket afterwards was completely disorganised. That %^*& I hate rugby
 
An hour and a half we spent walking round the stadium getting sent from gate to gate then at the end coming out stairways where shut off so had to walk round until we found one open

The difference with the rugby is that they sell alcohol at the game.

That means fans can get there early, mill about at the outside of the stadium, have a drink, some food and a blether, and take their time getting to their seats.

Football fans aren't allowed to do that.
