Dens83 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Finishing 3rd was all in the grand plan for the 3 extra home games to get some much needed funds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Well for the sake of my hypothetical arguement, can we say that there is no cause to use Hampden. Its not a national trophy. If you want to argue that 11th place deserves a chance to play off for their survival fine, but I dont think there is really a reasonable arguement for 2 legs and weighting it in their favour. Can you imagine if they had used Hampden for the Rangers v Motherwell Play Off Final as a one legged affair? I think that would have offered a huge advantage to Rangers.I can see an argument for a one legged Play Off final but the current two legged affair is pretty exciting too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers could've had every *** in Scotland inside a football stadium for a one off final, they still would've had Bilel Mohsni playing centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Why would that offer a huge advantage to Rangers? You again? [emoji16]For a start the games in Glasgow and Rangers would definitely have had more supporters at the game. Genuinely I think Hampden feels like a second home to the Old Firm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you say it didn't matter who had more fans at the game when United cut your allocation? I'm sure you said players and managers wins games, not fans. It would still be neutral for both teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I complained bitterly even about the reduced allocation for Falkirk at last years final second leg (not that it would make any difference to the outcome).But my complaint was more to do with how supporters are treated.Irrespective, i have never really felt that Hampden is truly neutral when the Old Firm are involved but I do accept that there's no real alternative for one off finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay m9 you can change your mind now because Falkirk aren't involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not mean we should be giving them an advantage over you though does it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely mate, I don't think the latter sentence of your statement is mine. My issue is with the restrictions on availability of tickets for fans when it's not needed and certainly is NOT exclusive to Falkirk supporters, although we have been affected by this more than once.However let's not turn this into a Falkirk discussion. United won, fair and square and I hope they win the final.The issue is whether a one off final is better.I don't think it is and I can see all sorts of challenges and disagreements re venues, ticket allocations etc.Jeez, Celtic were complaining about 300 tickets that they might not get for Hampden despite being given advantages on ticket splits in previous seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not read all the way through this but I know United have sold out the second leg. What's the situation re Hamilton?

According to Twitter, they've sold 300 tickets for Sunday, (maybe its still the ST holders period?). We sold our 2,700 in 2.5 hours. 37 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: Why Dumbarton?
