RotWeissEssen Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 :lol: :lol: Utter non-story started by some deluded fuds on Hibs.net. Well it had me worried. When did he serve that 1 game league cup suspension then ? It sounded like like some made up nonsense but maybe there needs to be clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 PS why do you think that Hearts will get a bigger allocation? It's obviously down to the clubs to decide on how many tickets they want, but I see no problem in a 50/50 split. Anything else would simply be favouritism imo.

It sounded like like some made up nonsense but maybe there needs to be clarification I don't know, did it carry over into the Scottish Cup maybe? In any case, if the SFL/SFA/SPL didn't have it listed then there surely cannot be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferryjambo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-472843/Ban-glee-McCulloch.html Woohoo precedent sent. I doubt we've fucked up so much it was in the paperwork so sounds like we will be absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just believe that is what will be agreed on. That is also the same split that Hibs and Kilmarnock got for the 2007 final if I remember correctly. Those allocations would also be about double Hearts' average attendance and treble St. Mirren's average attendance. However, if you can definitely fill half, then great!

In any case, if the SFL/SFA/SPL didn't have it listed then there surely cannot be a problem. He has not served this suspension in scotland look at the date of the link. He was suspended for 1 league cup game when he left scotland. He played in rangers games after that. The SFA list pretty much has a get out where every club has to check suspensions and not rely on the list provided. I don't know if suspension in league cup cross borders or if after a number of season are wiped.

JamboMikey Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ewan Murray @mrewanmurray Re. Danny Wilson "suspension" rumours.. checked this out with SFA/SFL. Wasn't banned for yesterday, Hearts had pre-checked this. Ewan Murray @mrewanmurray English bans seem non-tournament specific. No ban listed at all on his international transfer certificate when he returned to Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 28,000 tickets for Hearts fans & 18,000 for St Mirren fans based upon season ticket numbers seems more than fair......no ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is you'd rather have about 5,000 empty seats in the St. Mirren end than get you share of the 50/50 split of a sellout?

GorgieRoad Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 maybe so......but if...and I mean a BIG "if" we win the League Cup are Hearts fans going to wynd their necks in about it being a "wee" Cup ? If anything it will ignite it further. Big team big cup, big team wee cup. Edit: St. Mirren had plenty of empty seats in their last final against Rangers, and that was with only a quarter of Hampden allocated to them. I'd expect us to be given 30,000.

Stu Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Easily. We had 40,000 at the Scottish Cup final against Gretna in 2006 for starters. I suspect Hearts will get half the south stand, plus the entire west and north stands for this (~28,000), with St. Mirren getting half the south stand and the entire east stand (~18,000). That will leave about ~6,500 for corporate/hospitality. Other way round - surely we'll get the west stand? Hearts are the ideal opponents for us. They'll be favourites and we'll be underdogs so there's no pressure on us, but it's a winnable tie. Hopefully the fact neither of the Bigot Brothers are involved will bring out more than we had three years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. There should be the opportunity for a 50-50 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I thought Hampden only had 40,000 due to upgrades being made for the Commonwealth Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I thought Hampden only had 40,000 due to upgrades being made for the Commonwealth Games. Good point. Another question, is the thread title correct. Are Hearts the "home team" in this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
