Is anyone going to the Commonwealth Games?
Discussion
Me and the wife are going to the Athletics finals on Saturday evening at Hampden. Never been to anything like it before but looking forward to it.
We are coming from fife and I am thinking of driving and just parking as close as I can then walking the rest of the way, hopefully not too far!

That's hilarious, my son couldn't stop laughing at the dancing tea cakes. I must show him that Col 666 said:

You wont get anywhere near Hampden to ParkWe are coming from fife and I am thinking of driving and just parking as close as I can then walking the rest of the way, hopefully not too far!
Park & Ride and leave plenty of time to get there or take train

If you're going to drive then don't come off the M74 where the sat nav tells you. Carry on to M77, cone off at J1 and work back to Victoria Infirmary/Battlefield Road area and park up in one of the side streets. From there its a 20-30 min walk to Hampden. Traffics not too bad from that side.
Yeah thats the way i was going to go, my wife used to live by the Vic hospital so kind of know my way around there.Heard the park and ride is a nightmare.

Excellent choice of words there.Overall I think it's been well organised. I heard about the train problems but they seem to be sorted now? I've been heading out of the city from Hampden Park so I've not seen what Central Station has been like.
Been especially happy with the crowds and tone of the whole event - did remind me of the Olympics. There's none of the booing for 'rival' countries, just cheering for everyone. Was really rather lovely
