Scottish 'Daily Record' today reported that FIFA will take appropriate measures over the unadequate conditions on 'Gradski' in September when Macedonia hosted Scotland in the world cup 2010 qualifications tournament. The Scottish football association sent a letter to FIFA in which they complained about the suitability of Gradski Stadium as a World Cup venue. Despite some of the fans had legitimate tickets they were not allowed an entrance into the stadium.
