You've failed miserably in that case.

Fine: your shitbox club will be absolutely desperate to scoop in the maroon pound.

Some of the posts here are from a different planet. You would think Thistle had been drawn at home to Boca Juniors with a travelling support of 50,000.  It’s Hearts we’re playing.  Hearts FFS! We should trust the Thistle board to put their own support first in any decision, like any normal board would ....

Quite uncalled for, really.

Rumours flying around that this game will take place on the Monday night.

Wouldn't totally surprise me. Figured Aberdeen vs potentially Sevco would be earmarked by the polis as the Sunday lunchtime game (also if Killie get through I think it's the law Aberdeen and Killie always play on a Sunday lunchtime) which means Hibs  - Celtic would most likely be the Saturday lunchtime.  Those will be the 2 premier sports games

There's a game (Morton vs Falkirk) on the new BBC channel on the Friday night so they couldn't show it then which means it's either Saturday evening, Sunday later kick off or Monday. for the 2 BBC games.

Monday, 4th March at 7.05pm.

Hertz only allocated 2,200 tickets.

Pish.

I wonder if we would have given Hearts any more if it wasn’t this dreadful kickoff time. Probably not, though.

Hearts can f**k off, they hardly do away teams favours with their shitty sliver of the Roseburn. Night game means I'll need to get the train back to my flat (Upper Gorgie) with the Jambos. Fingers crossed our victory means I'm fearing for my life (and my injuries/sentence for battering c***s is up before our trip to Hampden).

Reckon you’ll sell that?

The pyro will look better with a night game, tbf...

[Tony Wonder]

Awful time to play it.  Monday is bad enough, but 7.05 makes it difficult for people to get through from work in time.  Not sure if we'd have asked for more with a weekend game, but if that was a Saturday or Sunday we'd automatically be able to sell double the allocation we've got.  

There's not even a Saturday lunchtime game, why not play it then?

Agreed.

Those pesky Premiership teams with their unrestricted away ends.

Riddy for the Jambos if they cant sell out their allocation...

Assuming because the Beeb don't want it to clash with the North London derby. Which is a joke in itself, but aw well.

Easy, m8. Doubt we'll get anymore, though. Partick must be expecting quadruple their average home support to turn up.

Surely they don't see that as the competition though? Last round they had Aberdeen v Qots up against City-Chelsea.

[Fuctifano]

Only other reason I can think of for this game not being Saturday lunchtime is the police didn't want Hearts fans going back to Edinburgh after the game mixing with Celtic fans going to Easter Road. Surely shit like that happens all the time on regular league weekends though?

Even then, they could have had this game as the Sunday 3/4 pm ko and the Dundee Utd game as the Saturday lunchtime one.

Aye, right enough. Maybe due to the potential for Hearts fans travelling back to Edinburgh at the same time as Celtic fans are on the way through for the Hibs game, then. I suppose that's more logical, but you never know.

Either way, 7pm on a Monday is fucking mince.

[Eric]

If they make it a Saturday lunch time kick off I'd quite happily do them a favour and stay drinking in the west end until the Celtic fans have all left for Edinburgh if that helps?
