Edinburgh or Glasgow have your say?

[Stantons Angel]

Dont want to jinx us in reaching the cup final but if it was an all Edinburgh affair where would you prefer the big game to be played?

A stroll through Edinburgh to a big ground that lies redundant most weeks at Murrayfield or have both sets of supporters travel to the national stadium in Glasgow?

If the choice was yours which one would you make?

[lyonhibs]

The Scottish Cup Final is played at Hampden. It's the home of Scottish footbal, like it or not. For me, the journey thro and bk is part of the experience. People refer to the trip along the M8 like it's an ardous trek to Greenland. It's not.
Hampden for me.

[Vini1875]

Glasgow for me. It will be Glasgow anyway.

[Eyrie]

Common sense dictates Murrayfield, so it will still be at Hampden.

[Since90+2]

Dont think the police would it allow it to be played at Murrayfield anyway , Edinburgh city centre would be absolute chaos within 30 minutes of the match finishing.

[cocopops1875]

Regardless of venue i really dont think i could mentally cope with the build up, the game, those hidious cretins or any of it. would be my option

[Killiehibbie]

Murrayfield bigger crowd less congestion on M8, cut down on pollution as you've got to do your bit for a greener world. Queens Park could even get their share out of the extra tickets sold.

Agree totally!

[Hermit Crab]

Glasgow for me. Traditional, not the home of rugby for the cup final the home of football.

[LancashireHibby]

Although I can see the logistical reasons for Murrayfield and it would certainly help ticket-wise, I'd say all emotional attachment must see it at Hampden. If we're going to win the thing then I want us to do it there!

[Hibs90]

Oops..picked the wrong option.

Why would you choose one or the other. The option of Hibs winning it was there, easy choice.

[The Harp]

Don't think we'll get an all Edinburgh Final to be honest - hopefully, we'll get there though. Quite fancy spending a bit of time in Glasgow city centre before and after the semi (and the Final too if it happens).
Murrayfield would make sense if we both made it through but no way would the powers-that-be agree to it.

Serious answer now..have to agree with this. I am most excited for the day as a whole, the trips to Hampden are amazing, rather than 15 minute drive to Murrayfield.

The Tims will spank the Yams ...no doubt about that ... Hibs v the Tims final .....gonnae take a REAL TOP DRAWER performance to win it

[NAE NOOKIE]

Picked option 3

But Hampden for me if I had to choose. I have to say thats a real change of tune for me, but having watched Hibs v Barca at Murrayfield I thought it made a rubbish football venue.

Nae chance its gonna be a factor this year anyway.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

At a time when we are all being asked to buy into the weej-fest to save the old firm, there is no chance that the SFA would let their showpiece game be played somewhere outwith Glasgow and generate the biggest football crowd for over 25 years. They would have a collective "does not compute" moment.

Wot 'e said.

[NOLA]

ive never liked hampden, just saying.

[MrSmith]

Definitely Edinburgh, Murrayfield and against Hearts! To show the rest of the world how astoundingly well Edinburgh can put on a show! With a sold out Murrayfield, both Hibs and Hearts would show up the establishment and the OF how to do it properly! And; Hampden's a *****hole!

After the AC/DC gig in 2009, I swore never to return due to the poor infrastructure and ground.

[Scouse Hibee]

Let's just toss a coin to decide the game and have SKY and BBC cover it live at 3pm on a Saturday that way no-one will be put out!

[jgl07]

I do not think that Hampden should be used routinely for Scottish Cup Semi-Finals because it is far too big for anything but a Hibs-Hearts match or one involving the Old Firm. Hampden should be reserved for Cup Finals

Despite all its flaws and poor location, it is right for Scottish Cup Finals and Scottish League Cup Finals.

I can recall that the 1902 Scottish Cup Final win for Hibs never felt 'right' because it was at Celtic Park rather than Hampden!

Playing a Final at a rugby ground would certainly be 'wrong', especially a rubbish one such as Murrayfield.

You can recall the 1902 final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hainan Hibs]

Hampden for me, home of football would feel wrong to have it at a Rugby ground and as said before the journey is part of the experience.

Also holding it at Murrayfield would make the Yams happy, **** that, I'd rather piss them off by making them trail through to hampden

I'd prefer murrayfield as it's bigger, is in edinburgh and is a better ground.

Saying that it wouldn't bother me where it is...as we'll win regardless!!
