I would have loved to see this IF both squads were going to be at full strength and the ticket prices sensible.
But, the date was before the Champions League games I think, so both squads would have withdrawals (especially the Rangers players
) And £50 for a friendly?!?!
£50 for a competitive game is too much, never mind a friendly. I think its pretty disgraceful Argentina asking for £1m. But lets say we paid it, and charged £50 for a ticket, and got a 50,000 crowd. Thats £2.5m. Wheres the other £1.5m going?
Its alright Gordon Smith and his cronies sitting saying "The fans should pay the prices" but he and the other bigwigs get in for nothing!
So, yes. I agree that it shouldn't go ahead.
Paying £1m is disgraceful and, if we pay it, it will mean Scotland may be held to ransom by future opposition. And there are much better ways to spend the money.
