A party of 29 Young Reds , 6 adult helpers and friends attended the Scotland v Slovenia match on 8th September. This was the first International for some of the Young Reds and they were eagerly anticipating the trip to Glasgow. The bus made good time to Glasgow and we were in the vicinity of the stadium one hour before kick off. Unfortunately, the police did not allow the coach to park in the playing fields which the letter from the SFA had said we could use and, instead, we were directed to an industrial estate about 20 minutes from Hampden on foot. This was totally unacceptable and a letter of complaint has been sent to the SFA as an incident involving 2 of the younger members after the match resulted in them being separated from the main group. Fortunately, they had the presence to find a police officer and they were re-united unharmed. At the time of writing, we have not received a reply from the SFA. Despite the walk to the stadium, we were in our seats by 7-30 with plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere. When the match started, one of the Young Reds, Kirsty, found the noise a bit too much for her but, after her brother bought her a drink and a chocolate bar, she seemed a lot happier. Although Scotland played reasonably well, the children were disappointed that there were no goals. After the match we got back to the bus and, after finding the 2 children who had been separated, we got back to Forthbank at 11-30. Player Sponsorship
