"but the SECC is an hour or less away by car"
Not any good if you fancy a few beers before the show,the last time i was at the SECC got there in just over an hour but took nearly 3 hrs to get out the car park and back on to the motorway.
Glasgow is a shit-hole that i try to stay out of if possible, lived there for a time in the 70's the place was the pits.
