Celtic have the advantage of having their own end, a minor psychological one but still an advantage. in this situation they'd likely have 40K+ fans because of the kick off times Whats that got to do with creating a neutral semi final where each club should have the best opportunity to fill 50% of the stadium with their fans? Success can sometimes come unexpectedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close to being the same thing. Cup semis are meant to be an entirely neutral affair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is mind blowing how often that line has been trotted out by tims and Huns and they ignore the reply because it’s not what they want to hear.

Funny that. In fact, I remember an Old Firm Semi Final back in the 00s when Hampden had about 10,000 empty seats at it, so let's forget the faux outrage if neither Hearts or Aberdeen sell out.

Rolling hIlls Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Fans should always be put first. Tv money is great. But clubs and authorities running the game should always look to the fans. At least some common sense is breaking out. Celtic ars right to want a toss of the coin to decide on venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Look at those sell outs, never even hit 20k for one of them and that was including the Dundee Utd support. As i said, you rarely got anywhere near to selling out these games until Rodgers came in unless it was against Rangers.

Ok then, it was very, very rare for Celtic to sell out a Semi Final unless it was against Rangers until Rodgers came along. If you know your history and all that.

Some people in here like to twist what is being said to suit their own petty posts You didn’t say it in so many words, but it seemed to be the inference. RFC and CFC seem to have been quiet on this, other than Celtic raising concern about being sent to Edinburgh to play. Can we assume from that both clubs were content with plan A?

If someone is being moved from the usual venue then it shouldn't just be chosen by those running the competition. Let the draw decide, or are you just interested in keeping it fair when it suits you?
