ayrshire_nomad Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Why don't they just combine the league and cup game with Celtic and hearts. The winner gets 3 points and a place in the final. I realise sporting integrity is important so they could play it at chesterfield with a 2am kick off and tell the fans the date 25 minutes before the kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 11 hours ago, The Master said: Why is the Celtic v Hearts SF moving to the following weekend predicated on the league game being on the 28th? Surely the whole basis of the idea behind moving the SF to the following week is that it has the least impact, i.e. the two teams in the SF are due to play each other. On the weekend of the 27th, Dundee v Hearts and Celtic v Motherwell would surely go ahead as planned. And that Celtic v Motherwell game is key here - what would have happened to it had Celtic lost on Wednesday? Are the powers-that-be really suggesting it would have been postponed because of a game neither Celtic nor Motherwell were to be involved in? Yeh I don't follow this either; that said if you stuck with Celtic-Motherwell in the league then it's just the same scenario as redating Celtic-Hearts in the league, but with even fewer away fans. According to today's paper there is a meeting tomorrow to agree the ticket allocations and some of the clubs (presumably Hearts and Aberdeen) are going to ask for the issue to be revisited... EDIT: On an earlier point: not having Aberdeen-Rangers and Celtic-Motherwell both at (say) 3pm is unsurprising, but what about 1:15pm + 6pm respectively or similar?

For someone so clever you do post some rubbish at times my clever friend. Police Scotland should be more concerned with stopping those pesky Chelsea fans from coming up from London. They're always causing trouble at Rangers/Rangers* games.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was partly my point - had Celtic lost last Wednesday, what would have happened to Celtic v Motherwell? My hunch is absolutely nothing, and they would have had the semi-final kicking off at, say, 1.30pm so that it was finishing while the Celtic game was already underway (at 3pm).

DA Baracus Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Police Scotland seem to think that by not having PATG for some games (even in the Championship) and making them all ticket they are somehow pulling off some clever plan that will definitely deter all the masses of big bad hooligans that definitely exist from going to a game. This is the level of intelligence (in both senses) we're dealing with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 It was a few years ago now so the figures will be different but in the first couple of years of FOCUS - brought in after the "game of shame" - more Falkirk and Ayr fans were arrested than were OF, IIRC. EDIT: Actually, I think the above is slightly incorrect... having had a search, the specialist taskforce attended as many games involving Ayr and Falkirk as games involving OF.

G-MAN Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Even at a decent time there is no way we are taking 25000 to a SF [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Going by past matches Id say 15K at the very maximum is more realistic for us to be honest.

Hibs only sold half of a 50/50 split last year and managed to sell them in such a way that about 10,000 seats had to lie empty. Although I’ve just realised (to my chagrin) that I got Kevin Bridges tickets for Christmas last year and I think it’s for the same Sunday night. Reckon I would get pelters if I didn’t go (although I could always just find out what he said from every other c**t in Glasgow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
