That's what it's there for!

I wonder if a game against England would draw a crowd of 20k+ and force them to play it at Hampden?

Fair enough. Can't say I've kept a particularly close eye on things.

The games are played the the same dates as Scotland play Czech and Spain so I doubt Hampden would be used, also there was uproar yesterday that the game was staged in Aberdeen with the big team playing at home, if the game had been at Firhill I am sure there would have been more than the 2,400 that attended Pittodrie.

Neither have I and to be honest I am surprised with how they have seeded it. What is there to be lost with an open draw for a change?

If this is played anywhere in the central belt I'll be there. England at ER would be outstanding, and I reckon we would take a decent away support as well.

England at easter road would be quality. Hope the home leg regardless of who we get will be at E/R.

Having watched the game at Aberdeen I would go and see this group of players, so I'm hoping for a big team at ER :cool2:

The SFA confirmed last night, on their Facebook page (they always seem to put things on there first for some reason), that the game will be getting played at Easter Road.

Sorry, all I can see is someone saying they'd like to see the game played at ER. Where does the SFA actually come out and say it will be played at ER?

Not looked at the link, in work so cannot see it, but the SFA confirmed on the U21 seeded draw link that Easter Road is the venue. Won't know until Friday who we get but it MIGHT be a decent crowd for a good draw.

Scotland Play Czech on 8th and spain on 12th.

the under 21's games are between 9th & 13th so most likely the games wll be played on those days.
Im going to Prague so if the Game is to be played at ER i'd hope we have the game on the 13th so it doesnt clash with the first team's games!

Reply 16 on the thread does state the tie will be at Easter Road and this was written by the SFA. That does sound like confirmation to me !
