5 of us going and it will be tickets from the pods .... with the loss of the loyalty points system there isn't really any need to order on line or go to the ticket office, especially when its not a game where tickets are at a premium.
I think the weather will be ok and considering its our last home game this month I'm guessing a crowd of about 10,000 which is acceptable for a game with Livingston, even if it is a quarter final .... if it had been Aberdeen or Dundee for example I would have gone for about 12 to 13 thousand.
It would be nice to hope Partick can knock out Sevco and Motherwell could knock out Aberdeen ... I cant see Dundee pulling of a miracle against Celtic, but that would give us a reasonable shot at a winnable tie in the semis if we get past Livvi, not that I'm suggesting for a second we couldn't beat Sevco.
I would also prefer a semi final at Tynecastle rather than Hampden which could be possible if we were to draw Motherwell or Thistle, provided the place is ready of course, which seems unlikely.

Doesn't seem like there is any interest at all in this game considering it's a quarter final. 9K the very most.

Tell you what though .... I never thought I would see the day when someone would predict a crowd of 9,000 at ER and proceed it with the statement 'doesn't seem like there is any interest in this game at all'
I do find it strange that folk would be less enthusiastic for a competition which is one of only two we have a realistic chance of success in, but when it comes to it I suppose a lot of folk, rightly or wrongly, will look at this as a game we should win pretty comfortably and keep their powder dry for the semi final they think we are going to stroll into

Forgot to buy my ticket before going on holiday. Turns out that was lucky. I'm free but can't afford a late night. Dont get home much before 11 with these games and worse if it goes to ET and pens like United 2 seasons back. V early start Wed. Flying to Orkney then Shetland Thursday followed by a drive from Edinburgh to Thurso Sunday. Good night sleep tomorrow essential...

Hope we get a good crowd tomorrow, will be disappointed if we don't get at least 10,000

The semis are weekends now too so I'd expect them to use Hampden regardless of whose playing.

Seems weird that we can sell out a ****ty view away end at Parkhead priced 27/30 quid in 20 minutes but people moaning about 20 quid (18 for ST holders) for a home quarter final. Each to their own I guess

Livingston might bring a few. They've been on a decent run and not too far to travel.

If we win I'll be expecting 10 tickets for the potential semi at hampden against Celtic, and those who can't be a**ed going 2m should get heeehaw and told to bolt.

Where would that be played?

Basic truth is that nobody really gives a monkeys about the cup tournaments until it's the semi-final stage - unless it's a derby in the earlier rounds.
I'd personally rather watch a home game v Livvi with a semi-final place up for grabs in a tournament we have a chance of winning than one v Motherwell where the best we can do is get three points in one we have no chance of winning. But what do I know?

11k would be a good attendance for this, sadly the removal of cup top up ensures lower crowds than normal for games like this. Doesn't help that morale is incredibly low around the place just now.

Except, as Firestarter pointed out, we had over 13k against Ayr last season. Overall though the attendances for League Cup games seem to be lower than for the Scottish Cup.
I think there's going to be a lot of people gambling on there being no Qs at the gate... and will end up regretting it. I predict a post match thread moaning about the Qs with the word 'shambles' in the title. ;-)

I've been off for 2 weeks and only earn if I work, 1st day back tonight so back to the grind, normally I'd take a Tuesday off for these games but still got bills to pay.
