Official Site: CUP FINAL TICKETS ON SALE FROM MONDAY

[GreenCastle]

This is what is sold out/ on sale right now. This is only to my knowledge though so correct me if I'm wrong.http://i67.tinypic.com/6ozvbk.png

Thanks for doing this - lots of the green sections only have singles left.

No problem will keep everyone updated nearer the time:aok:

Maybe worth turning some of the green - orange as limited availability.

[Alex Trager]

I think the north upper is hospitality and sold out.

Until I read this post I had no idea there was a north upper. That must be some view to be fair

Been there a few times great view :top marks

[Stuarty27]

I've seen on Facebook and heard of at least 10 Edinburgh based Celtic fans who are getting a ticket to come for a day out.

Makes me sick

Why is there a section in the hibs end that hasn't been on sale yet? (Gap)

[iwasthere1972]

Know what, it rips my knitting. Everyone is sat, can see everything but the minute the ball goes near goal people who can see fine jump up fir a 'better' view mibbe im just too old

You're absolutely right. You're getting auld. :agree:

We jump up getting ready to celebrate.

Where are you collecting your information from? Here, eticketing or somewhere else

Why? More revenue for us. And it may convert them to the original greens.

I have collected this information from the e-ticketing site. Also any that I've missed people on here tell me. (assuming there right I'll put it in)

[et_hibby]

Agree, I only had option of B6 by Monday night as needed 4 together. Would've rather had equivalent corner view in those G5- G8 areas, our end.

[GreenCastle]

http://i63.tinypic.com/2ef6tlt.jpg
There you go:aok:

Nice one - I would say that's pretty accurate - hard to get 2 together in many of the orange sections.

Hopefully they open up remaining G sections tomorrow for people to buy.

Good effort. :thumbsup:


Roughly two weeks to go so we'll turn the orange sections red and sell the rest of G. We might even get more of B if we do well in the next two games as people will get excited again.

Hope county shift all of A.

[Gmack7]

Makes me sick

My 17year old nephew is going, he was also at ER when we pumped the cheats in the replay I wasn't sick then and I'm no sick now either has he prevented anyone getting a ticket?

[EH54]

Considering the derby replay was a sell out probably

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to a Celtic fan at a cup final just like i wouldn't want to be sitting next to a Rangers fan or Hearts fan the revenue made from these fans attending is hardly going to be significant i would rather they didn't turn up and don't understand why they would in the first place

Just my own opinion :)

[Callum7]

Anyone know which sections Ross county are sitting in?

[hibbytam]

Who knows, they might be turned to the original greens, when they see what winning a trophy should mean.

[JeMeSouviens]

All of P and into A starting at A1, think they are just selling A1/A2 so far.

Because they are football fans!!!!!
You don't have to be a supporter of a particular team to go and watch a football match, surely?
I have been to dozens (maybe hundreds) of matches not involving Hibs.

Correct. If more folk took that attitude to our game it would be a lot easier to sell out cup finals where there are smaller clubs involved ..... I don't have any problem with neutral fans turning up for this game, I met a few lads I knew at the Livvi final who aren't Hibbies .... and I'm sure Ross County will be happy to take support from wherever they can get it on the day.

[EH54]

So have I, I'm not saying that however i don't understand why Celtic Hearts or Rangers fans would be interested in sitting in the Hibs end for a cup final i know i wouldn't be able to do it.

[JimBHibees]

People going for a day out with their mates?

[EH54]

I have mates and Family who are Rangers, Celtic and Hearts fans and if i was invited to any of there cup finals i would tell them where to go, Like i said its my own opinion you don't have to agree with it but its not going to change

I doubt many on here would sit in with the Hearts fans in a major cup final that didn't include Hibs i feel the same way about Celtic or Rangers and thats why i don't understand why they would with us.

There's a difference though ..... I would go to a game involving the ugly sisters or the Yams where Hibs aren't involved, and have done in the past ....... I just wouldn't be a 'neutal' no matter what end I was sitting in :greengrin

[Northern Hibby]

Section B4 Row zzzz don't care I'm there!!

[persevere1875]

We've still to allocate tickets to Hibs TV subscribers, (presumably overseas fans ect) my mate got one this way, well I say he got one, he got an email from the club saying anyone who has asked for tickets via their Hibs TV subscription will get one and they will allocate sometime this week, he hasnt seen it yet but asked for two

[Green Man]

Section B4 Row zzzz don't care I'm there!!

Is that the sleeping section?

[Northern Hibby]

Is that the sleeping section?

Just over emphasising how far back I am it's actually only zz :-)

[Green Man]

Of the sections currently on sale it looks like only B8 and G4 have anything other than single seats.

[GreenCastle]

Just went online and tried to get 2 for a friend - only gave me 2 in G4 up the back.

So single seats left elsewhere.

I don't see why they don't open up G5, G6, G7 and G8 - the red seats in this picture and allow people a chance to buy them.

Really annoying, would've bought there myself if I could've.

[Hibby70]

Can't be long until they open those sections then. Imagine well pretty much fill the East now. Not sure the South Upper will become available though.

I'd really hope they put them on sale soon, our tickets are obviously selling well and there are bound to be some folk put off buying by being given seats so far back.

[Callum7]

You can only get 2 or more together in section G4. For the rest you can only buy single seats. Makes sense to to release more sections now.

[CB_NO3]

I am hearing we have sold just short of 25k? Anyone confirm?

[GreenPJ]

Really??

[Onion]

Seems daft that those buying later this week and next could end up with better seats than those buying now, just so the stands look full on TV.

[007 Mickey Weir]

I am hearing we have sold just short of 25k? Anyone confirm?

That would make sense looking at what's left. Hibs will no doubt be requesting extra tickets. Rest of East and possibly more in west:

[Green Man]

Really??

Yep. There have been posts earlier on this thread from people saying they're holding off in the hope that better seats will be released. If I was offered the chance of a back row seat behind the goals now, knowing there's a chance of a seat lower down on the corner becoming available, I'd be inclined to wait.

[Callum7]

We'll probably get G5 - G8 then depending on how that goes we'll get B1- B3

Waiting makes sense as there will be no "Sold Out" signs going up for this one.

[Onion]

Would be an amazing sight and encouragement for the Hibs players if we could fill 3/4 of the stadium.

Said the man from the SFA before the Hibs v Dunfermline final shortly before locking out thousands of hibbys :greengrin

Yes it would, I think we've sold out about half of the stadium so far

Why would you want to sit in the South upper with maybe 500 fans when you could be in the 30,000 Hibbies?

[Green Man]

I'm talking about the remaining G sections which aren't on sale yet. Half way up in the corner is better than back row behind the goals.

[Leith Green]

Think G5 already available .. Will be some sight, hibs fans all the way around the stadium

[GreenCastle]

G5 now on sale - so looks like releasing block by block. Though just went online and had a look and it was given me row EEE which is near the back.

Pretty confident we will shift all the way around to the South then possibility they give us more for West or open the South Upper.

I'm still holding off to buy for a few friends wanting more tickets.

A sold out east looks likely G8 is pretty small so it's a little over 3 sections we've left to sell.

[cabbageandribs1875]

G8 looks approx 3 seats wide :greengrin

[EH54]

Picked up tickets today and the sales/queue is still steady, I think they will start selling from B again if G sells out before south upper opens up.

They will. Because it's more likely to be on TV.

Yeah so really G6 and G7 to sell before we get more.

Would be great to see more Hibs fans in West but also would be a sight to see the South upper full.

Is G6 and G7 even on sale yet?

[Leith Green]

G5 upwards are additional from the initial 26k allocation. G5 is currently available so those tickets will become available on a section by section basis u would think. Sell the remainder of G and its 30k tickets been sold

[DarrenSQH]

West B3 and G5 now on sale.

If we manage to sell out all of B and G sections it would really look amazing.

[Onceinawhile]

I find it odd that Hibs haven't told us that we are essentially into our second allocation, although I suppose they're maybe trying not to distract from the ICT game.

[JeMeSouviens]

Ross County have sold all of P and are along to A4, must be pretty close to their initial 7K tickets. We are probably looking at a final crowd of 35K or thereabouts.

Pretty criminal that folk have to buy ***** seats behind the goals while all of the South upper will be lying empty. :rolleyes:

It won't "all be lying empty", those with Hampden season tickets are seated up there, meaning unless they hand there tickets back they have already paid for those seats.

How do you get 35,000? We have sold (by the looks of it) c.25,000, plus 7,000 from Ross County. If you really think that with nearly two weeks to go (plus sfa, sponsors and general hangers on) that there won't be at least another 10,000 on top, you're mental!

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Mines arrived this morning!

[hibee-boys]

Hampden season tickets? Didn't realise there was such a thing, do you mean debenture holders? I thought with them they just got first dibs on their seat and paid for if required, if not, they were sold to the general public.

[JeMeSouviens]

It won't "all be lying empty", those with Hampden season tickets are seated up there, meaning unless they hand there tickets back they have already paid for those seats.

Hampden debentures give the right to buy a ticket but they still have to pay match by match. Doubt many debenture holders will be clamouring to buy Ross C v Us. I think they reseat them in the lower "posh seats" in the middle at quiet games to save opening the top sections.

There won't be many hangers on for a league cup final between us and Ross County. I would think our sales and Ross County's will be slowing a lot now and we're not exactly encouraging the waverers with our recent form but you never know.

[Pete]

I'd have the lower part full before releasing any South upper Seats.

Why should the Johnny come latelys be allowed to just waltz in at the last minute and buy these seats with a fantastic view?

[1875STEVE]

Just left the ticket office.

Roughly 2-2,500 left of initial allocation.

Ticket office busy. Queue of 5-10 folk when I left and according to staff its steady.

**** all this negativity, we can do this!!!

Moan the Hibs

[JeMeSouviens]

They shouldn't. The SPFL should've got on to the debenture holders the day the semi finished and given them a quick deadline to respond. Then they could've released the best seats in the house on the first day of sale. It's not rocket surgery!

Apologies, I was sure they were bought at the start of a season guaranteeing seats for all games. I would still rather the full lower stands were sold out before the south upper.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I wonder if the last few results have made some people hold off on buying just now?

[3pm]

I wonder if the last few results have made some people hold off on buying just now?

They shouldn't bother coming then. If that would influence someone deciding on attending a cup final or not then they can't be that fussed about Hibs.

[jgl07]

Why?

It is totally illogical to keep the best seats empty for the sake of avoiding a couple of extra empty sections on the West or East.

My thoughts too.

[Pete]

Why should they open up more parts of the ground when there are ones that are only half full?

I agree.

The east stand holds 12,800 and I would imagine the west roughly the same. If we are selling tickets in B3 and G5 already I would reckon we need to sell around another 6 or 7 thousand tickets between now and the 12th of March to more or less fill the lower bowl of Hampden with Hibs fans from the main stand all the way round to half way in the west ..... that's 10 days to sell 7,000 hardly unachievable.

If RC sell their 7,000 and perhaps a wee bit more I would be pretty confident of a crowd north of 40,000 .... What Hibs do on Sunday could be a factor, if we can buck our recent form and beat ICT it could encourage anybody who is wavering to get down to the ticket office.

[LaMotta]

Why?

It is totally illogical to keep the best seats empty for the sake of avoiding a couple of extra empty sections on the West or East.

Its not totally illogical. Empty seats on show at stadiums are bad for the image of our game, which will be a priority for those making the decisions.

Do not understand the obsession with upper tier Hampden seats anyway, too far away from the action up there ( and I know the seats behind the goals aren't great).

[Onion]

After last night, expect some of the red sections turned green again. :greengrin

South Upper is so much better than the back rows of East or West. And you get a free use of opera glasses :aok:

The views from most seats in the East and West and awful. Come to think of it there aren't many good views in the stadium. The sightlines are all wrong for a seated stadium (insufficient rake) and the running track pushes most too far back.

By contrast the Upper Tier of the South Stand is properly designed and gives a good view of all the pitch.

I sat there for the Livingston final and typically I bought the seats in the final allocation of tickets.

If the Authorities are so keen on avoiding empty seats they could try marketing things a bit better and not running the whole of Scottish Football for the benefit of two clubs.

[Scottie]

You have exactly the same choice as anyone hanging off for better tickets.

That's your choice if you have bought already, like it is the people hanging off for better views choice to do so. :wink:

[EH54]

I hope they do have to open the South Upper but not before at least the G section is sold out as even i wouldn't like that there is blocks of seats separating Hibs fans from Hibs fans.

[jgl07]

That implies you would keep it empty even if the rest of the Ground was sold out?

The longer the delay before opening up the South Upper to more it will benefit Johnny-come-lately.

The one Hampden final in the last twenty years when I didn't have a season ticket, I got the the best seats (Livingston). I endured some dreadful views for the Yams Final and Semi Final and average seats for the two Celtic Finals.

[Just Jimmy]

They shouldn't bother coming then. If that would influence someone deciding on attending a cup final or not then they can't be that fussed about Hibs.

Exactly, anyone with doubts over going to a final or not because of a few bad results isn't a hibs fan. It's that simple.

[Ronniekirk]

Exactly, anyone with doubts over going to a final or not because of a few bad results isn't a hibs fan. It's that simple.

I have been to every semi final and final hibs have played in The crowds at these have all varied Some have been below 10 000 and others sold out
We tend to sell out when their is a wider belief we can win or have a good team its as simple as that
If we had won put last three games sales would of been higher than what they are as everyone would be worried they were going to miss out
At present people know there are plenty tickets left and yes after three defeats some people may be waiting
But imo sales are good and hopefully we sell out our initial allocation by the weekend
But size of support while nice to see on the day , guarantees nothing and doesn't then impact on average weekly attendances by much

You could have done the same.
I'm hoping South Upper goes on sale. Waiting to get 5 seats.
If it doesn't open we will just take anywhere else in the ground.

I sat in the South Upper for the recent Celtic Final, and whilst you can see everything perfectly just felt detached from it all ( which maybe wasn’t a bad thing given the result!).
Agree though that seats behind the goals in the lower sections are terrible.

So you're the only bloke who's still here from 1902? [emoji23] kidding.

You are of course correct, however ny point still stands. Anyone using the last three games as an excuse for not going isn't a Hibs fan. That doesn't extend to work or other reasons for not being ABLE to attend.

If you can be there you would be there. It's that simple.

I've sat all over Hampden at Scotland games, semis and finals and without doubt my least favourite area has been the South upper, have watched Scotland beat Holland there 1-0 and 2004 final v Livi and you are just not as involved in the game. North stand is without doubt the best and have watched Scotland there for quite a while now as well as Celtic 2013 cup final, good view and atmosphere. We're in F2 this time and it shouldnt be bad for view and getting a bit of the 'joined up' singing coming from the North stand i think.
Looking forward to it and hopefully finding our form again!

[Callum7]

Here's an update on seats, looking good but could be better.http://i64.tinypic.com/28082u9.jpg

[Hibby70]

Looks like we'll be somewhere between 30k and 35k Hibs fans come final day.

Not sure how you get 'could be better' from!

Looks pretty good. Fans being as they are if we best ICT on Sunday it'll boost the sales. It looks touch and go for the South Upper being opened though.

12 of us were in the front row of the South Upper for the 07 final. Absolutely brilliant. Same 12 for the Hertz final in the second back row another story but at least we were as far away from the *******s as possible.

Here's an update on seats, looking good but could be better.http://i64.tinypic.com/28082u9.jpg

We need to get G4-8 filled as it will look and feel awesome.

Agree that it would be a shame for there to be a section or 2 empty in the South between Hibs fans.

Would also (from a selfish POV as I'm in B5) like to see as much of B get sold up as well although obviously those seats are less desirable than the G4-G8 ones on account of being practically closer to the moon than the pitch.

I think the club will make a statement on ticket sales after the Scottish Cup tie. The club are concentrating on one game at the time. I'd have thought County would have sold more than 7000 though

[LaMotta]

I've sat all over Hampden at Scotland games, semis and finals and without doubt my least favourite area has been the South upper, have watched Scotland beat Holland there 1-0 and 2004 final v Livi and you are just not as involved in the game. North stand is without doubt the best and have watched Scotland there for quite a while now as well as Celtic 2013 cup final, good view and atmosphere. We're in F2 this time and it shouldnt be bad for view and getting a bit of the 'joined up' singing coming from the North stand i think.
Looking forward to it and hopefully finding our form again!

Interesting, because I briefly did wonder if it was because of the poor result against Celtic that maybe my judgment was a bit clouded by that. But given you felt the same despite being at the McFadden Holland game in the South Upper, then I’ll say that confirms my view.

I was at the Holland game in the East in F2 or F3 and the view and atmosphere was amazing, certainly better than the view I had in the South Upper vs Celtic.

Each to their own of course!

[GlesgaeHibby]

I think it's pretty poor so far. I remember the scramble to get tickets for the Killie game, and feeling lucky to get one. Hibs have only won two trophies in my lifetime, we don't get to see Hibs win cups often. Why would any Hibs fan not want to be there? That day in 2007 was such a great experience (although plenty horrid ones since at Hampden) and I hope we can repeat it with another win a week on Sunday.

[GreenCastle]

Never sat in South Upper for a football game - just a concert. Decent view but understand the feeling away from main atmosphere part.

North for me is the best for atmosphere - sat in all other areas also and they are pretty reasonable - I think the front rows are just too low.

I see a few others have said they are waiting for better seats to become available. Are there many more out there not sure whether to go or waiting other sections to be released?

Form or not - this is Hibs in a Cup Final - you would be mental to miss it and a memory for a lifetime.

That team in 2007 was a very good team and Killie were not that good .I was very confident we would win that day ,and thats why family and friends that aren't regulars piggy back on .
I will be taking a few extra to this game and assume most people are as this game is winnable although not on our current form But they will feel its there big chance and that brings pressure on them
Think we will edge past 25 ,000 sold by Sunday and then still a week to go

I think 23k tickets sold is decent. I suppose if recent results had been better then sales might have been a wee bit higher. Hopefully a win on Sunday would see another few thousand sold...

I'd be happy if we could sell out all sections from B right round to I.

That's about 30k. Anything else is a bonus.

Can you go out the back of section G for a smoke like you can if your in section F?

The one I was shown today was much better than that, all the way from b4 round to g4 was pretty much gone. they had marked maybe 3 sections, that you could get very limited single seats in.

The only sections I could get 2 together in, was either B3 or G5, I ended up with G5.

If true, that's pretty poor at this stage. The last 3 games might have knocked a few thousand off. Expect a late surge if we win on Sunday. Paradoxically, had we been limited to 26000, we'd probably have sold them all by now.

That's probably the very reason they haven't sold so quickly, as people know they can just waltz up at the last minute and still get as many tickets as they want.

I agree. Even if 23,000 is our final tally of tickets sold, then given what's happened to our Club in the last few years, I don't think it's anything to be ashamed over.

Having said that, I'm confident we'll end up with a good few thousand more than that.

Even if it had been an allocation of 30,000 we would probably have shifted most of them by now due to folks fear of losing out ..... If the opposition had been the likes of Dundee or Motherwell they would probably have snaffled 15 to 20 thousand leaving us with the north and east and no doubt a 52,000 sellout.

As has been said previously, if anybody is seriously thinking of giving Hampden a miss coz of a petted lip over our last 3 results or coz they think we are going to lose I hope their telly blows up at 2:59 on the 13th ........ Hibs fans? ... not in my opinion.

I agree. And the way the tickets were allocated was just plain stupid. We should have just been allocated the same stands we got against killie and then sold any extras from there. Has had a really wierd feeling in the build up to this game, no rush for tickets no real excitement..

Disagree - we have seen the online system struggle and fans queuing at ER still.

The issue is we have pressed the self destruct button over 7 days and we have a QF of the Scottish Cup final to prepare for also this weekend. A QF of the Scottish Cup is usually a massive occasion for us.

Come Sunday night the week ahead I am sure we will see more of a positive build up hopefully and some good chat on the message boards as people try get through the work week and look forward to hopefully a great day out :greengrin

In others parts of UK & throughout rest of world, at least a fair %.
Then people that can't afford every week, or pick and choose games after many years following them when younger, etc. Work commitments (easier to negotiate an exception for a final), sport commitments, cant be bothered every week, lots of reasons!

[cabbageandribs1875]

it's creeping up towards my prediction of 27,462 hibbys/hibbyettes, which with all things considered would be a great turnout

[CorrieHibs]

How many tickets have we sold? Is our allocation been sold yet?

[Real Emerald]

I think 23k at this stage is poor. If we were playing in a 50/50 split stadium we usually get around 23k tickets and folk are going mad trying to get them. We've now had over a week of sale stages for loyalty points and 3 full days of general sale and we've only reached the total we would have got had it been Celtic we were playing.

When we played Kilmarnock it was still quite hard to get a ticket for the 31k allocation and we took nearer 40k to the Livingston final. Don't know why the sales are down but I really don't think form comes into it. At the other mentioned finals there were really cheap ticket options on offer and this may have been the difference between dragging your neighbour and his kids along or them thinking twice once they realise how much it was going to cost. Whatever way you look at it 23k sales at this stage for a cup final where we have unlimited tickets is poor IMHO.

[James.]

Just purchased two tickets for G4 row F. Must be plenty left for that section if reasonably good seats were available.

[Callum7]

You are 100% correct there is really nothing we can do to get more to go now. However, there is something that could have been done by the SPFL. They could have had cheaper options fo the East and West and cheap family packages like they did before. Unlike me who will always go, there are Hibs minded people out there that may be coaxed along by their mates for these occasions, take up seats on local buses and drag the wife and kids along. There must be people out there that have looked at the price and said nah, not at that price to hardly see the game from miles behind the goals and pay top dollar into the bargain. They could have also avoided clashing with Scotland playing at home in the Rugby. I don't think people will come on here and admit it but I bet there are folk who have tickets for the rugby and are giving the final a miss :tsk tsk:

"Top dollar" meaning the most expensive ticket you can buy (bar hospitality) in the worst seats in the house. You normally pay less for bad seats especially if the place isn't full. Well it makes sense to me!

Absolute effin nonsense and I was say so to your effing coupon.

He does not want to let her down by going to the final. Those are not the actions of a "roaster", your comments are though!!!!

[Hibs07p]

Using the ticketmaster online sales and the Hampden park seat planner, I reckon there is 32 sections out of approximately 39 sections available to us, (not counting South Upper ) either sold out, or only possible to buy single tickets for. At this time I reckon, there is 2/3's availability in B3 & G5, so I think we have done extremely well to date, considering where we are as a club at this moment time. With 9 or 10 more days for ticket sales, I believe we will sell out the other sections available to us, minus the South upper sections.

The build up to the final was over shadowed by two massive games against Hearts. We then have had a wee slump in form. The club have done little PR on the county game as we've got a massive game on Sunday first. I think the excitement will grow after the ICT game. There has been little media coverage about the pending final. Most fans know they are guaranteed a ticket. I don't recall the negativity about Hampden and good seats v bad seats in previous finals. Most fans were delighted to get a ticket. As supporters let's talk up our club, encourage lapsed and occasional Hibs supporters to come to the final. We had 16000 Hibbies at home against Hearts so I'm sure we can get around 30000 for a final.

Well said. And a win on Sunday would give momentum to sell more tickets at a fast rate.

If we have 25k supporters, given the background and recent years. I would say that would be impressive! Yams took 27k for league cup defeat against St Mirren (when they Jambo'd it again)

[Spike Mandela]

All bar one of the finals since we played Dunfermline in 91 have been somewhere between 40-54,000. (Suspect the Aberdeen v Dundee game was so low due to reconstruction?)

At the livingston v Hibs game the attendance was 45,000 and I would expect this one to be something similar.

To be honest I don't get why people get so concerned about what attendances will be.

It is what it is.

Dunno why he is not taking his sis through to the weedge for a hibby day out. I can recommend some great wee bistros in the vicinity of he wants.

[Cabbage East]

Absolute effin nonsense and I was say so to your effing coupon. One of my season ticket group who goes to most games is missing the final as he also has a season ticket for murrayfield, he goes with his sister for a meal prior to the game and then the game itself. He does not want to let her down by going to the final. Those are not the actions of a "roaster", your comments are though!!!!

Nope. Not having that at all. That is mental!

Can't make the final lads, going for lunch with my sister then off to the ruggers!

You're at it.

The sentence that says "he goes for a meal before the game with his sister" sums up everything that is wrong with Rugby.

A sport for farmers, the privately educated and middle aged women who don't like sport. I wouldn't welcome your mate back to Easter Road again if what you are saying is in fact true.

What absolute bigoted blinkered nonsense that is.

Rugby is very much the working mans sport in some areas of Scotland.

[Pete]

Roaster or not it does prove that the clash will be a problem for some. Businesses fling comp tickets around like confetti for Rugby games and some people will probably be tempted/encouraged to go for a free meal and game with their colleagues.

I'm sure we'll take a healthy 27k+ through to Hampden regardless.

The 6 nations happens every year. Hibs cup finals don't come round as often. Especially when it's a winnable match.

Fair enough if the guy is family orientated. I am as well but I'm sure my sister would understand that Hibs cup finals are more important than watching rugby.

If he's a season ticket holder in our second season in the Championship nobody can question his commitment to the cause that's for sure, Hibs must mean a lot to him. I cant imagine anybody like that would miss Hibs playing in a cup final lightly.

If his sister, who must know what Hibs means to him, is happy to see him miss the club possibly win only its 4th trophy in 60 odd years so that she has somebody to chum her to the rugby you are right about one thing ... he isn't a roaster.

I have 3 brothers and I cant imagine any circumstances where one of them would expect me to miss a Hibs cup final for anything outside of weddings and funerals.

[Onion]

No loyalty points for attending, but Hibs should reset to zero all those who don't go for their disloyalty. Any found at the Rugger or shopping with their families should receive a lifetime ban. Punishment is the way forward. :aok:

If the full population of Dingwall are going to be at Hampden then I might sack the game off and head up to the Highlands and ransack all the empty houses.

[hibs0666]

B, I would recommend that you get parked up around Queens Park station - plenty of on-street parking in the vicinity. You can train, cab or walk it to Hampden very easily from the area.

In the vicinity you can get eats in the Salisbury (http://www.salisburybar.com/). Around the corner there is an institution called Moyra Janes (https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186534-d2679454-Reviews-Moyra_Janes-Glasgow_Scotland.html), and there is another place over from there (Ollies (http://www.olliesglasgow.co.uk/)) that is probabably very nice but a bit too fancy and expensive for my humble tastes. Also, a couple of hundred yards up the road, there is The McMillan (http://www.themcmillan.co.uk/).

Suggest you give them a butchers and see if there is anything there that takes your fancy - if so, I'd suggest you get in touch and book a table just to be on the safe side. Give me a shout if these aren't quite on the money for you and I'll see what else I can come up with.

[Aldo]

Total non story. Each to their own.

FWIW if one of my kids in later life excels at something and is either in a show or performing at a sporting event I would be heading to watch them as it maybe the only chance I get to see them perform at a certain level.

Does that mean I'm not a true supporter.

[Hibby70]

About 10 folk when I was there at 10

[Carheenlea]

Missing a cup final in such circumstances is hard for a lot of us to get our heads round, but the guy can do what ever he feels is right, and who knows, there may be other reasons why he wants to do what he is doing.
I missed my sisters wedding reception as I had a semi final golf tie in our Club Championship that night, so safe to say that if Hibs are in a Cup Final then no family event will be taking priority!

[southfieldhibby]

Strange lot on here getting all antsy about some guy deciding to do something that doesn't affect them during his spare time.

Personally, I hope the guy has a nice day with his sister, Scotland win the rugby and he's able to get to Leith for the cup parade later.

Its not the fact that he's going to the rugby .... its what he's bumping to do it. A reasonable topic for discussion on a 'fitba' fans forum I would have thought. I cant imagine missing a Hibs game to go to another sporting event, but folk do and if its a fan missing Hibs v Alloa in the league to go to the Nou Camp, the Grand National, or yes even a Scotland rugby match you can sort of understand it ..... But missing a cup final to do it is unthinkable, how can you call yourself a fitba fan and miss your team playing in a cup final to go to a bloody Rugby match?

There have been many discussions on here ( and every other clubs fans forums I would guess ) about what constitutes loyalty or commitment to your club ... everybody agrees that in life there are things that do ( and must ) take priority over football .... but if you are prepared to miss your team in a cup final to go to a Rugby match you deserve to be called on it on a fans forum of the club you are supposed to support ....... If that's not the case exactly what is the measure of loyalty to the club?

Tell ye what mate ..... if I was that guy my sister would have a hell of a miserable time a week on Sunday as she spent all day feeling like crap as she was left in little doubt by my petted lip and monosyllabic answers that I would rather be at Hampden ..... no matter how much I had pretended in the days beforehand that everything was ok and ..

The point I was making was not about the loyal Hibs fans missing a cup final, it was about the rugby fans who also have a soft spot for Hibs that may have attended the final. Scotland doesn't have that many major sporting events that it needs to put two on in the one day giving SOME people a decision to make. 99% or more on this forum will choose the cup final but there will be empty seats that could have been filled with a bit more thought. Both to dates and price package. That's really all I was meaning.

Not entirely convinced what voting preference had to do with this either, other than lazy stereotyping.

I must say, was never a fan of rugby before. However, the last year or so I attended a game and there's something nice about the friendly feeling in Rugby. I mean, I've witnessed a bunch of grown Englishmen dipping their balls in each others pints, I've seen Welsh men "grappling" other rugby fans in the street and I've seen Irishmen chat up other folks birds.

It doesn't get friendlier than that, does it?
