North of Scotland ignored yet again

You do choose to live in Scaberdeen - don't blame the rest of us!

Stupid decision by the SRU. If they'd had the game up here in Aberdoom they'd have got around the 20,000 mark like they have done previously.

People could have had a grand old time coming up north for the weekend!

I'd far rather visit Aberdeen than Kilmarnock! To get to Kilmarnock you have to go through Glasgow, which I'm pretty sure invalidates my life insurance.

I'm assuming it was the synthetic pitch at Rugby Park which swung it - no chance of the game being postponed then as it might in the Borders or the Land of Doric.

Please note that there were a variety of jokes I could have made about the Georgians immediately starting to sow crops if they saw the ploughed fields which constitute Pittodrie. Lucky for you I am bigger than to be that crass and obvious.
