点评:We attended the Scotland v Tonga men’s international in November 2025 and were pleasantly surprised at the large turnout of supporters for this game - around 60000. The downside to this was that we experienced one of our worst delays in getting aboard a tram from our hotel base at Edinburgh Park to Murrayfield. We lost count how many trams were too full to get any more passengers on but eventually after about 30 minutes we succeeded.
We still arrived in good time to take in a bit of the atmosphere outside the stadium with a band entertaining the crowd and the bars doing brisk business.
Our tickets on this occasion were in the West Stand, section 23, row EE, seats 16 & 17 (I think) and at £55 per adult were more reasonably priced than is often the case. The view was very good in general although it was Sods Law that the majority of the action took place on the other side of the pitch (as always!). It was an entertaining game albeit with an inevitable outcome. However the eventual scoreline, much in Scotland’s favour, did not reflect the effort put in by the Tongan players who had “null points” and plenty of yellow cards to show by the end.
After the match we made our way to the stand near the tunnel area and were able to get close to the players as they chilled out. We then met up with family members in the Up & Under Bar below the stands and there was a bit of singing and dancing to live music to be had, as well as some drinks. Waiting behind a little added to the experience and meant the queues at the tram stop had cleared a lot by the time we headed back to our hotel.
We’ve still to arrange that tour!
翻译:2025年11月,我们观看了苏格兰对阵汤加的男子国际足球赛,这场比赛的现场观众人数之多让我们惊喜不已——大约有6万人。不过,这也带来了一个不小的困扰:从我们位于爱丁堡公园的酒店搭乘电车前往默里菲尔德球场时,我们遭遇了有史以来最严重的延误之一。我们数不清有多少辆电车因为超载而无法再挤上乘客,但最终在大约30分钟后,我们还是成功上了车。
尽管如此,我们还是及时赶到了球场外,感受了一下现场的气氛。当时有乐队在为观众表演,酒吧生意也十分兴隆。
这次我们的球票在西看台23区EE排16和17号座位(我记得是这样),成人票价55英镑,比通常情况下要实惠得多。总的来说,视野非常好,但可惜的是,大部分比赛都发生在球场的另一侧(一如既往!)。这是一场精彩的比赛,尽管结果在意料之中。然而,最终苏格兰队大获全胜的比分,却未能体现汤加球员们付出的努力。比赛结束时,他们颗粒无收,还吃到了不少黄牌。
赛后,我们来到球员通道附近的看台,得以近距离接触正在放松休息的球员们。之后,我们在看台下方的“Up & Under”酒吧与家人会合,一边欣赏现场音乐,一边唱歌跳舞,还喝了些酒。稍作等待也增添了乐趣,等我们返回酒店时,电车站的队伍已经空了很多。
我们还没安排好那次旅行呢!
