Was told of a friend of mine who is going on the team bus there will not be a public sale for this game! I asked why not and was told just to trust him no public sale!

I have just been told the same by an impeccable source, who I will not name so the person does not get into trouble.

Was in the Hearts old main stand when Hunter scored to end that run... Was great I must say, but obviously coz we won. Listening to them say they should be beating wee teams like this etc was amusing.. Anyway I was young then and dont think i would do it now nor hampden in a final especially. Liverpool derbies often has some away fans next to friends/family on home end... And i think thats nice and how it should be tbh... We are all just supporting our team. Not sure why theres so much hatred towards another human just coz of the team they support. I can understand emotions will be sky high at the final so think its crazy going into other end.

I was in the Main Stand that day too. Lots of Hibbies were. we used to get the Gorgie end of the Main Stand.

I was in there the day John O'Neil equalised in the last minute, reckon I was the only hibbie in there......it took a hell of a lot for me to sit quiet I'll tell you, especially in the poisonous atmosphere

ONLY ONE SAUZEE!!!!!!!! By that time though they had built the pink shelters. The Hunter game we still got a section of the Main Stand.Just as they did at ER with the old South Stand.

[Lungo--Drom]

Totally agree. Shudder to even imagine being anywhere near the Gorgie mono brows nevermind in amongst their unwashed maroon-ness, yeuk!

I was in their old centre stand the night Joe McBride (jun) scored two goals in the last six minutes to give us a draw. I had treated an old Jambo (my late wife's pal's dad) to a centre stand seat for the previous derby at ER and this was him returning the compliment by getting us tickets for this game. Can remember some heated exchanges with the 'natives' round about me - their stand was a dump then, and that was over 25 years ago.

There's no danger I could spend 90 minutes in the Hearts end on the 19th May.

It's going to be hard enough to keep it together whilst sitting in the Hibs end so sitting in their end, regardless of how the game ends up, would just be torture.

[Ringothedog]

If I cant get a ticket for our end, I will speak to my contact who works at the PBS to get a ticket for their end. He is a hibby as well so at least 2 in their end probably lots more

[Hibs90]

I hope any **** found in the Hibs end gets the living **** kicked out of them.

[basehibby]

I've been in the "wrong end" at a derby at both ER and Tynie - both times through some Yam mates who had a spare ticket going.

We got beat 1-0 at Tynie and I got spotted as a Hibee due to my total lack of any celebration whatsoever when they scored and everyone around me was going mental - not that I got any real bother off anyone, just a bit of gentle ribbing.

Somehow a couple of years later I was persuaded once again to take up a spare ticket - this time at ER and it was different in every way. We won 2-1 (Eddie May winner IIRC) and it took all my powers of self control not to go absolutely mental as each Hibs goal went in - there were some right ****my bams crammed in around us giving it all the "Fenian basturds" and foaming at the mouth, leaving me in little doubt that being exposed would prove injurious to my health - twas a great joy to witness their humptiness at getting gubbed at close quarters though and it remains one of my favourite derby memories for that. Watching a full home end of Hibbys going absolutely bananas while surrounded by several thousand glum Yams may sound a weird way of enjoying your saturday afternoon but let me tell you it was a glorious sight and inside I was wearing a smile as wide as the Firth of Forth

Would I do it again at Hamden??? No chance! The game is simply too massive and I just can't envisage me watching Hibs score without going ballistic with joy - as well as which in the event of the unthinkable, I could not dream up a nastier version of hell than being "marooned" among that lot to witness it - so big NO from me

[heretoday]

I am the master of understatement at the best of times but even I - yea even I - would not give a cat in hell's chance to anyone of the Tynecastle persuasion surviving beyond half-time at the East end of the national stadium on 19 May.

Jambos in our end is always going to happen and having a public sale will leave us wide open (I don't care what anyone says, there will definitely be one).

Some of them are arrogant enough to think that we are going to have a huge public sale which will enable all their fans to swamp our end. The result will be that their end will be filled with 22000 "real fans" and our end will be infiltrated that much that it will make a difference.

The reality will be something quite different. A lot of their "plus ones" will go to tourists on a day out. Both ends will be full, both ends will have a similar amount of tourists and both will have infiltrators.

But no. They've told themselves that they are so much bigger than we are so many times that they actually believe it. They honestly think that demand for their tickets heavily outweighs ours and all they have to do is wait for us to hand back tickets because we have no fans. Try telling them the truth, that we have a similar amount of fans and they will laugh. Maybe it's because we have been poor recently and been on the end of bad results from teams financed by credit cards that our attendances haven't been great.

When it comes to demand for this game and sleeping fan base, we are just as grand as they are and let nobody say any different.


If I find a Jambo next to me I'll ruffle his hair, smack his bum and tell him to enjoy the party! This is will be our day and our celebration so if they're in our end they may as well make the most of it!

Yes I'm sure they'll risk their job so they can get their mate a ticket

Club staff are given tickets. So if they r giving her one of his tickets he/she is doing nothing wrong

[jodjam]

My partner, a jambo ( i know it's shameful ) says she wants my +1. Told her it's just not happening.

Tickets for the hibs end are for hibs fans only, not hearts fans. This shouldn't have to be explained to anyone, never mind a member of staff who is at the heart of distribution.

If one of them knowingly gives one of their tickets to a hearts fan they should be sacked instantly.

I agree that there is likely to be a "public" sale. However, it will be restricted to those on our club database with an existing Client Reference number. This is what happens for Category A games at the moment.

No danger will random Hearts fans be able to get their hands on tickets via official Club sources, unless they are already on our database.

Some of the staff that work in there are Hearts fans though and the club are giving them the chance to grab 3 tickets. I'm also hearing there will be a few Celtic fans in our end .

I'm sure some of those deluded muppets on Kickback are still spouting that nonsense, but most Jambos I've spoken to have had a strange outbreak of humility (they are crapping their breeks) and agree that both teams could easily sell out Hampden alone.

Yes, there will be a few on both sides, for family/friend reasons, who find themselves in the wrong end, but no Hibby or Jambo worth their salt wants to be in the opposition end, particularly for this game.

Through convoluted circumstances, which I won't go into here, six of us, all Hibs fans, had tickets for the Celtic end in our last Scottish Cup final. It was not a great experience, but just about tolerable (though it would have been a different story had Hibs been winning/won), but against Hearts - no way. Only a nominal fan who doesn't really care that much would stand in the away end for that game. I'd rather watch us win (or lose) on TV than do it surrounded by Yams.

I was in the old main stand too that day but with the Hibs fans in the lower section allocated to us. One of a very few good days out at the PBS.

I was sat directly behind the goal that day, what a relief it was to get an equaliser. I couldn't see it coming but when it did we went ****ing mental

[Littlest Hobo]

There will be no huge infiltration of "THE BIG TEAMS" supporters in our end. Not a chance, I know so many lapsed Hibees desperate to get their hands on tickets and can't, even though their on the data base, their still going to struggle to get a ticket unless they can blag one from a ST holder. Let the Jambos dream on, the sad part is that some of them actuially believe this to be true.

Absolutely NO idea. My uncle runs one of the biggest Celtic supporters clubs/buses through here and has said he knows a man who knows a man type thing and they have got 3 tickets. Said they are trying to get more and I was gonna have a word but I'm waiting to see if he can get me one first. I also got a mate who's a rangers fan and his dad has a ticket. It's in the posh seats though so don't know if it's our end or not.

Was hoping at least 2000 would be available myself.

Sit in the wrong end on THE cup final day?

I'd rather stick a rusty hat pin in my japs eye and have a nice lemon juice bath afterwards.

[Jones28]

Love reading some of the utter pish that is being spouted on JKB

One of them saying that we will have a 14000 general sale?! Right then, do your research before you go mouthing off eh?

I sincerely hope one of them is sitting an arms length or so away from me

[Green Cabbage 7]

What really gets me about this is they only took 12000 to the semi, and handed all theres back to celtic! where as we sold around 15000 so maybe there allocation should be cut! 60/40 split in hibs favour I certainly think we will need the extra tickets! I mean remember league chip final when we took 40000 well the is the scottish cup and demand will be doubled!
