Im not too sure how well you understand the concept of a messageboard. See the thing is someone, 2nd poster I think, asked about the likelihood of getting tickets. By pointing out how piss poor Hibs attendances are may him get a ticket. It's how a thread on here works. It's a relatively simple concept really. Any other questions or points to make then you feel free. Alternatively ask the guy sitting next to you at Easter Road. Just shout over to him...

This is my concern. I'd rather not spend money on players we actually don't need. It kind of goes against the ethos of the tight squad that Warburton follows.

Can't wait for the faux outragous seething if it's not 50-50. Why not Hibs support is massive, last few cup finals and semis they have been too they have took great supports of more than 20,000, just cause they are playing sevco it dosent give sevco the right to get more tickets.

(ps I am not a hibs fan) They took approx 12k to the semi-final against Dundee Utd. The argument is that if it is a 50-50 split then around 16k Rangers Season Ticket holders won't get a ticket, whereas hibs could almost offer 3 tickets to each season ticket holder. That isn't fair on the Rangers' fans who have been to every home game this season and possibly away games and they may not get a ticket. On the other hand it is quite likely that people who have only been to 1 or 2 Hibs games this season will get a ticket. The other argument is that it is a final, at a neutral venue. Giving one team more tickets is potentially given them an advantage. In this case if Hibs can sell 50% of the ground, they should be entitled to do so.

Hibs will sell a 50/50 split no bother, I remember there league cup finals against Livingston and Kilmarnock they had just under 30,000 fans and the final there against Hibs there was around that number as well there. sold there allocation for semi final against St Johnstone as well at Tynecastle and would have sold more if it was at hampden. Think 50/50 split is fair if the team can sell it and they have a massive fan base like Aberdeen and Hearts do to deserve 50/50 split against the old scum.

That surprises me given Hearts derby record. I thought the cup games were good stuff and not just because we got through. Heart and Hibs doing well and in the top division will be better for both of us and take a little bit of focus away from the old firm media love in. More to Scottish football than the religious hate fest of Sellic and the new club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I didn't watch all of the game last night but I saw enough to realise that Rangers maybe aren't as good as they think they are, and that beating a really piss-poor Celtic team isn't a guarantee that the cup is won. Without ever playing all that well, Hibs managed to win the game by aimlessly lobbing a few balls into the penalty area and watching Rangers central defence trip over themselves to see who could make the biggest arse of it. Whatever happened to Scott Wilson ? He's awful. Even Alan Stubbs is clever enough to see what needs to be done to score goals against Rangers. If they can replicate that in the final, no reason why Hibs won't win the cup this year. Edited April 21, 2016 by Rossy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedTA Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 2 hours ago, Angus_Young said: Did you not get two stands at Ibrox a couple of years back? I know it didn't quite work out 50/50 on tickets due to the different sizes of the stands but I reckon if that game was at Hampden you would have. Anyway can't see the final being anything other than 50/50, Hibs will get half the tickets. In general I can see both sides of this argument but I tend to favour a 50/50 split, provided both sides can shift their allocation, that's the way it should be imo. Agree with you angus - it should be 50/50. Utd have never been offered a 50/50 split in a final with either of celtic or rangers. just doesn't happen. why would hibs with only 2000 more average per game. If they do, as I say I will be delighted, and it will set a precedent for the next final against either you or celtic that we get to - if we ever get there again!

The last league cup final v celtic we sold out our allocation easily - despite selling our 2 best players to the opposition - but we didn't get 50/50. I have been at finals since the early 80's and it never happens. why would it happen for Hibs? Don't get me wrong - I hope it does for you, but I cant understand why it would.

Agree with guy below mate, if it was a neutral cup final like Utd against Aberdeen or Dundee or anyone else outside of the old scum Utd would sell 25,000 no bother. A lot of fans don't like it when its a cup final against them and wouldn't go just because of bigotry side of it. Sure Killie took 25,000 against Ayr in a cup semi but know a few Killie fans that don't go to games against the old scum with there kids or that because don't want there kids to be in that kind of atmosphere you get against them. I am a Motherwell fan but all our recent cup finals have been against the them and 15,000 does us against them as again a lot of folk don't want take there family whens its them. 23 minutes ago, adamntg said: We would never sell 25,000 for a cup final against the Old Firm.
