Psychological boost to the Celtic team when they walk out to a full end at Hampden and a half full Hibs end.
I thought TheRangers were getting 48k tickets for Hampden? How can this be if Motherwell have sold 13k?
:agree:
I can't imagine Hibs ever playing too many games at Hampden, to the point where I'm looking for reasons not to go though. The hard-core support will be there on Sat, and I've no doubt we'll create a good atmosphere, but yes, it is disappointing to see others are less enthusiastic, and must leave the club feeling same way after fighting successfully to secure us a good allocation of tickets for this game - only to be proved wrong in their expectations. Especially when if we manage to pull off a famous win these will be many of the same people who think they have a god given right to a final brief!
Lucky enough to have use of a pal's debentures for Hampden and our tickets have been upgraded to Gold for Saturday - first time I think I can ever recall that happening. Anyone know the difference between the Gold and Silver offering? I won't have the tickets in my hand until Thursday / Friday so keen to know what Gold actually means!
These arguments are monotonous and frustrating.
"I've got a ticket so I'm a better supporter than you" is what people really mean.
No-one has the right to decide what folk should do with their time and money.
Loads of people don't travel to games away from Easter Road, but many will make an exception if it's a cup final. What's so difficult to understand about that?
Frankly, given the prospect of a crappy, uncomfortable bus journey followed by a long walk to a crap stadium without time for a few drinks, to watch, in all likelihood, your team get beaten, I'm surprised so many folk do go.
By the time Rangers had their 38k I can't see Motherwell having as much as 13k. That'd only leave 1k for segragation, sponsors etc.
Right enough, might see if I can sell my tickets and go watch pandas eating leaves instead of a semi final against Celtic.
If you're a Celtic fan you'd be well within your rights to be pissed off at not getting a ticket if there are thousands of unsold seats because Hibs took too many. We'll end up getting our allocation cut in future and giving the Huns or Celtic an advantage with a bigger support from the start.
I have never went/not went to a game based on what the result would be. Don’t understand that logic as a supporter
Think our best attended semi was against Livi. Had star players and looked certain to win. Think the prospect of losing to the invinceables, the fact old firm and School holidays keeping attendance down. But still a 12k support not band and we will out sing them.
If you can afford it and you're no working get your fingers out and get a ticket bought. How disheartening is it going to be for the players walking out and seeing blocks and blocks of empty seats.
I can't believe just how much some 'supporters' are taking a trip to Hampden for granted. The fact it's suggested that even Motherwell have sold more tickets, and for the lesser-preferred Semi date of Sunday, than us is an embarrassment and I'm no caring what anyone says, cause that's exactly what it is.
