The timing of the event is bad for 2 reasons. a) players need a rest after the UK; b) the weather in Glasgow at this time of year. It should be played in early October.
The weather in Glasgow is 11 months o the year like it is atm tbf.
But,yeah,i can see where both your comments are coming from.
I actually went to Glasgow this year,the first time i,ve been there in years,i just went for a day out,sometime at the end of August,and the weather was decent,no rain,but to cold to walk around without wearin a jacket.
Intrestin city.very BIG.
I really like Glasgow. I have never really minded cold weather. I love the Glaswegian accent and most the folks are great. There are a few exceptions, but overall Glasgow and the Glaswegians are worth enjoying on a regular basis,
The real reason i had,nt been to Glasgow for a long time,in fact,for many years,was due to me hearing that it was a very rough place.
I got into a conversation with a guy in a pub that i rarely go to and he told me he,s originaly from Glasgow,but he moved away many years ago,cause he got a new job.
I told him that it,s been donkeys years since i actually set foot in Glasgow,he wanted to know why,then i told him,cause i heard that it,s a very rough place,lots o muggings,stabbings,crime in general.
He then looked at me full of shock and said that it used to be like that,but it aint anymore,he said if you stay in the middle of the city,the city area itself,then you have nothin to fear,it,s <only> the outskirts of Glasgow that are still very rough.
He then said,the people from the city of Glasgow are in fact very freindly,helpful.
I smiled at him and said,ok,i,ll take your word for it,i,ll go sometime next week,i indeed ended up going about a week later and i was impressed.
i have to say,since that day out,i have,nt been back since though,but i will pay Glasgow sometime next year another visit.
Edinburugh,i know much better,in fact,i don,t live far from there,i go about once a month,great city,love the castle,the shops,plenty of other things to see,the people are also very easy going/freindly.
