Having married a Glasgow lass who was living in England and being an englishman becoming apart of a very welcoming scottish family , i was advised whilst out and about in Scotland to be wary of the fact that some  see certain terms used to describe a scotsman as being very offensive and some of those terms have been used on this thread,  so i can see why some have not taken it as banter and others not realising the terms are being taken as offensive.

I think this is fair. I’m not necessarily offended though I just think it’s a bit wide of the mark and not very funny. I wouldn’t go about calling Irish people paddys for example.

You get it some off the banter has been poor but I put it down to ignorance.

Had some laughs with the different terminology for things ,    when father in law came down for our wedding, the next day i took all the men to the local supermarket for the reception continuation supplies , at the checkout he asked the young girl if he could have a wee poke to say she was a bit shocked was an understatement and it was my turn to advise the young girl what he was actually just asking for,

Whilst the whole "jock" thing doesn't really offend me I do wonder what people opinions would be of other derogatory terms used to describe a race of people. Don't see why the faux offended on here think things like that are acceptable. As far that nonsense that the people in our cities are less friendly than elsewhere what utter BS. Spend more than 5 minutes in the country before coming out with sweeping generalisations. I got slaughtered for generalising your fan base you've just generalised about 2m people.

I would never derogatise the Scottish people, all I've met have been nice and good fun, but I don't think Nicola Sturgeon has done Scotland any favours really as Johnson hasn't done 'us' any.

Is it worth buying tickets in advance or just pay on the gate?

Safer buying online you can pay at the gate but there are usually long queues for pay at the gate depending when you arrive , online tickets are scanned and through a separate entrance.
