It's the National Stadium, has been for near enough 150 years (give or take a couple of hundred yards) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they haven't - been to plenty Semi-Finals at Dens, Tynecastle etc. IMO Hampden should be for Finals only, would make it more of an occasion. I think we'll be lucky to sell 7 or 8 thousand for this game. The McInnes years have taken away the novelty factor of Semi Finals & Hampden so spending the guts of £100, and an entire day getting to neutral Glasgow, for a guaranteed defeat will have limited appeal I reckon. If I thought we had a 10-20% chance of winning it might be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move them to to other venues, with exceptions like Hearts v Hibs or Celtic v sevco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't bother me - not played Rangers at Hampden since 94 and last 5 or 6 times against Celtic we've got West Stand which is the best for boozers (and closest to Killie)!

If Aberdeen can’t sell 50% of the tickets, then that’s their problem, other fans shouldn’t be made to suffer because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The problem with folk always suggesting moving games away from hampden is, after hampden at 50,000 odds capacity there’s a big drop to tynecastle/Easter road at 20,000. Slight tangent, but even the worst attended Scotland home games get over 20k. How many games at hampden have been played in front of a sub 20,000 crowd (possibly a dead rubber like San Marino? But it was scheduled long before it was known it was a dead runner...) Id presume the SFA and possibly SPFL are contractually obliged you use hampden too?

I'd be the same. Was kinda like that when we got the Nomads (shudder) and only got something like 1200 official tickets. Folk were doing their dinger in about buses etc getting an allocation of tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out semi-finals haven't always been at Hampden; St Mirren (Celtic Park) - after they complained about Perth, presumably it was too neutral? Dundee (Tynecastle) Dundee Utd (Tynecastle) a few times Hibs (Dens) Dundee Utd (Dens) a few times Dundee (Tannadice) Hibs (Tynecastle) St Johnstone (Tynecastle) Bit tougher to do it since the Taylor Report but even then they could use Ibrox / Celtic Park / Murrayfield if needed. Playing the like of Morton or Motherwell at Hampden is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
