The game could kick off at 3pm and keep virtually every fan happy, and not break any of the rules.
Just don't televise it.
To be fair to supporters, they really are a 2nd thought these days when arranging tv timetables.

From memory, every Scottish Cup semi final has kicked off around 12.15 since about 2004.
It beggars belief that people are shocked and fuming about this.

The second choice TV semi-final is always awkward as it is on Sky and BBC and has to fit both schedules.
Since 2010, every semi-final has had an early kick off and we have been in most of them. I understand people being annoyed but I don't understand people being surprised it is this kick off time.
As I said before, we have had Sunday 6.05pm for a semi-final and a Friday night too.

In a time where we are probably along with the gimps across town the only two clubs who's crowds are actually up these days, the authorities really need to find a way of attracting new fans along to games, and not making it as hard as possible for those who do go.
Tv is a necessary evil i suppose, but we should be working as hard as possible to attract more folk through the doors, quite how i really dont know?

Scottish football has too few big, glamarous, showpiece occasions without constantly devaluing those that we do have.
Ko will prob knock a good five to ten thousand off the gate.

If 5-10000 folk are put off because the game kicks off a massive 2 and 3/4 hours earlier than usual you need to question how arsed they are about supporting their respective team. Would they still be moaning if we got to the final and it was an early kick off?''It's always been just part of the culture. Growing up, for most working-class kids, is all about football, music or clothes. You might not have much money, but whatever you have got, you're going to look good.'' - Paul Weller

Answer me this ..... what other branch of the entertainment industry forces its patrons to put themselves out for the privilege of parting with their money? Apart from big festivals where people stay on site anyway what rock band would schedule a gig to start at lunchtime, they wouldn't because they know their fans would react badly to it and they would likely sell less tickets.
Can you imagine cinemas only showing this months blockbuster as a matinee? They show the films in the evening because they know that people often go to the pictures as part of a wider night out and that's exactly what a trip to Hampden should be, part of a wider experience where you get to enjoy the build up to the game with a couple of hours in the boozer beforehand, like it or not that's a huge part of the day for a lot of fans ..... if you don't agree try getting into a boozer within a two mile radius of Hampden whenever Hibs are playing there.
There is no branch of the entertainment industry that would dare to show the utter disregard for its patrons that football does .... but when you see the number of folk posting on this site who seem happy to accept being treated as an AFTERTHOUGHT its no wonder they get away with it.

You are Bobby Willimson and I claim my five pounds.
Nothing to do with going to the pictures or any other activity for that matter. What has boozing got to do with Cinemas? Do we need to fill publoads with folk waiting to see T2? Will they only show the film once? Do we have Aberdeen v Hibs on a constant evening loop for anyone that wants to go on whichever evening they choose?
Are the clubs only playing to support the promo on the new album they have out? Are they playing Glasgow on the Saturday and the rest of the country later in the week?
Wimbledon has millions of afternoon "kick offs".
Why does any game at Hampden have to evolve into a night out? Will nobody think of the children? (except obviously Monktonharp)
It's a dinner time kick off. Happens all over the world. In bigger places than this. The more sober our support the better as far as I'm concerned.

Suits me down to the ground especially if it deters drunk day trippers who berate the team when we concede two throw ins in a row.

Ffs this is not about drunk fans, its about getting a f, n fair deal for the paying public, the fan, we are being shafted time and time again by SFA, tv and police bloody Scotland, give us our 3pm ko back, its not about how many beers yi cram in, its about filling our national stadium, getting the game to folk who might not go but decide to go cos its no on the telly might be a start. 12 oclock is a bloody stupid time for a game. We also have fans that will bevtravelling long distance, its not fair on them either. Not a great way to promote the game with half empty stadiums.

Look at it this way: the league needs tv money, there are stipulations put in place to get that money, we will benefit as a club from said money, it was hardly a surprise that it's a 12:15 KO as it has been that way for years.
No point moaning about it because that's how it will be for the foreseeable - it's a trip to Hampden FFS
