Bonnyrigg Rose versus the Scottish Cup holders would clearly have been the tie of the round if it was to be played at New Dundas Park, but the tie loses a bit of sparkle with the move to a neutral venue.
Still one to look forward to though.

Rose matched Dumbarton tonight and thoroughly deserved it - and contrary to internet chatter no decision has been made to move it. It's not entirely up to bonnyrigg in any case.

Bumped into many bonnyrigg hibs fans - what a year. Hopefully the rose can do the business in the wee Scottish on Saturday.

Before we get too carried away with, what on the face of it is a great draw, we should note that the Rose's results against Dumbarton & Turriff this season are virtually identical to ours, albeit they were at home to Turriff. Irvine Meadow gave us a tough game & of course Yams used up all their usual luck, plus the help of John Beaton's refereeing against Auchinleck. Every non Hibs fan in Scotland will be cheering on Bonnyrigg, & although it's a cliche, this really is their cup final & probably the biggest game in their history. We need to be 100% professional in our approach to this game.

To me that is just wrong in every sense. We have just spent the summer trying to undo the mess from the pitch invasion at the final and first game back in the Scottish Cup we could end up with us up against the support of a whole town cheering on their team plus a bunch of Jambo Hibs haters. To me it's a recipe for disaster that we could well do without. This cup tie has got nothing to do with Hearts and he has no right trying to rally them along.

It's equivalent to Celtic playing a junior club at Ibrox and asking thousands of Rangers fans to come and spit venom at Celtic. It changes the dynamics of a cup tie played in a friendly atmosphere into an old firm game. I've no problem with Bonnyrigg making tons out of it, I go along to see Penicuik on occasions and realise the significance but don't turn what should be a really good occasion into a Hearts Hibs hate fest with fighting outside the stadium and the rest. This has that potential.

Let's be brutally honest, we are playing Bonnyrigg Rose, a side who play in a league with Musselburgh Athletic, Penicuik and Bo'ness, I'm afraid if we can't beat them regardless of side we stick out, we'd be as well closing the doors. Dumbarton are ***** and we will show that this weekend, and we had our third string out against Turriff and tucked them away convincingly without getting out of first gear.

I fully expect Neil Lennon to experiment with this side, and still qualify comfortably, as we seen last year how damaging our first XI playing a multitude of games between February and May turned out.

Its all about the £ for BR. Which to be fair we will pocket half of the gates (pre BR paying any money to Hearts for rental).

Should be a tidy sum that a load of hate fuelled Jambos will swell for our own coffers, rather than support their own club in Fife.

I've no problem with the money and interest from neutrals but to actively encourage Hearts fans to attend (because they hate Hibs) is not on. They will turn up in their thousands at Tynecastle with scarfs, Hearts tops, the lot. It will change the dynamic of everything about the tie with pubs full of them before it. I think it is irresponsible for the Bonnyrigg manager to bring Hearts into the tie the way he has. This has nothing to do with stopping Bonnyrigg or us earning good money. It changes the whole tie from a policing and security point of view if Hearts fans are encouraged to attend a game they're not involved in against Hibs, in my opinion.

I'm not so sure many Hearts fans will attend wearing their club colours.

If Hearts were playing a junior team at Easter Road I wouldn't be interested in attending unless it was Tranent Juniors.

I fully expect Neil Lennon to experiment with this side, and still qualify comfortably, as we seen last year how damaging our first XI playing a multitude of games between February and May turned out.

I dont think Marciano, Hanlon, Fyvie, Dylan, Harris, Boyle & Graham would consider themselved as 3rd string players. I agree we should win comfortably but we still have to be profesdional. As for NL experimenting, maybe 1 or 2 at most.

If Hearts were playing a junior team at Easter Road I wouldn't be interested in attending unless it was Tranent Juniors.

Even at that I would not be wearing Hibs colours.

Marciano wouldn't have played had he not needed games. At that time Graham was also just in the door and nowhere near first choice, the fact we had half a youth team out who have been nowhere near the first team since shows how far down the order they are.

Personally I don't care if BR want to ramp things up a little to make some more money but I sort of think it will be counter productive.
Don't hahahahahearts have a SC game away to Raith Rovers the same day? Their fans will want to follow their own team.
All reasonable predictions would suggest we win this game comfortably. Do our neighbours fans really want to come along to see that rather than following their own team to Fife?
By winding up an edge to the game the policing will have to be considerably more costly. That will eat in to the BR hopes for profits while the crowd will not be appreciably larger.
I don't think our man in Bonnyrigg has thought this out.

I must say it's a bit strange to see a club like Bonnyrigg rose be so partisan after landing a tie like this. It would be a big tie for them if it was any big club. I'm not sure what Hearts vs Hibs has to do with it or why they are so desperate to play at tynecastle. Livingston would be a more rational option if they weren't blinded by weird Jambo obsessed anti hibs sentiment.

we don't walk into the QF, as others have mentioned, but I do agree with the poster who is in some way enraged by the comments from the BR manager. and, another has mentioned that he has not thought it through. he is actually adding fuel to the fire, if the game is at the wongadome or whatever it's called these days. the gorgie mob can turn up in good numbers, for at least the roseburn end just to try annoy us as much as they can as well as causing the wrong kind of street banter for this particular match. If reports are correct, then I find the comments from the Bonnyrigg manager very silly by trying to create a situation that is not there. we have considered hospitality, and will be enquiring further when the venue is confirmed, on behalf of our supporter's branch. we actually discussed this yesterday, and even if it is in gorgie , we could take "tables" given that B.Rose would be the money winners. this recent report totally changes things, from our branch's view.

Get a grip of what exactly? WTF should Hearts under any circumstances get drawn into a cup tie they're not involved in. If I were a BR supporter I would hate the fact that they'd set a pact with Hearts against Hibs. Yes I could live with the money they're trying to generate but not at the cost of a Hearts/Hibs division, it has NOTHING to do with Hearts. I don't need to get a grip of anything, I just feel strongly that they should have nothing to do with this. That's all 😄

Why should it be played at Livingston, 20 miles away, compared to Tynecastle, 9 miles away. It's the obvious choice imo and will allow them to maximise how much money they make from the tie. All I've seen about Hearts is that they have a few supporters in their team and they would love to play at Tynecastle. It would be the same if it was the other way about and they were playing Hearts at Easter Road. The Hibs supporters in the team would love that.

If you had heard the abuse Ryan Stevenson got at the last game you would realise there is no "Hearts love in". Of course the majority of Hibs & Bonnyrigg Rose supporters like myself will be in the Hibs end and all the others will be in their end, supporting the Rose, not Hearts.

As an aside, their Chairman Charlie is a massive Celtc supporter. If he had the choice they would be playing in green and white hoops instead of red and white.

Not allowed. If home team wants to change venue it must go to a neutral one. The talk of Meadowbank or Spartans is just rejigging what the original SFA response was said to be, based only on the rules that say move it to nearest possible grounds as first option.

That's not what the rules say - in theory it could be Easter road. I suspect they are drafted that way so that if Dundee or Dundee United were unable to host say due to ground development then it could in theory be played at the other ground.

How about the game is at ER, but we all sit in the away end, and an increased designated (away end, possibly East and West Stands).

Or designate BR as the home team and they choose to have the "home end" as being the South stand.

BR produce the programme, have their own stadium announcers, occupy the home changing rooms.

A bit like Inter and Milan or Bayern and 1860 Munich.

It is their cup final and what you say is true in an ideal world I am afraid we are talking about a team that has worked hard to get where they are despite the mouthy ill considered guff they have come out with.

It may not have riled you but sure as hell would make me pretty determined to put them firmly in their place.

It's called the real world, my friend and the last time I went to the doctor he sent me away with a flea in my ear for wasting his time.

Stop being a drama queen. How much guff have they spoken? Said that a few of them are jambos and they'd like to play at Tynecastle?

Perhaps it won't be Tynie then as a decision was expected yesterday was it not? :confused:

Maybe Hertz want too big a slice of Bonnyrigg's cake?

Do we want to win the cup again or make friends ? Certainly don't want Hearts making money off our backs. Ex was from Bonnyrigg so maybe I'm blinded 😀 sod this sentimental **** - I want to win the cup again and as the draw dictates - play it at Bonnyrigg and rattle 10 past them - manager is a Yam - even better !

That is a reasonable assumption to make. In fact.....I think they will be after 2 slices.

What a load of nonsense this is. There is no reason why it shouldn't be at the pbs and God knows what the issue is. As the brose statement said the press are making it into a hibs v Hertz game which it isn't. Get the game on at the pbs or wherever but this saga has gone on too long. If it was one of the bigot bros it would have been sorted in a couple of days.

See my post above? Imho Hearts might be asking for so much that Bonnyrigg are looking elsewhere? Or SFA are asking why it cant be at Meadowbank orcSpartans as per the rules about nearest grounds of equivalent or greater capacity. Dont really know!

As I have eluded to in a prior post Hearts have some reservations in hosting this match! Let's hope they can iron these problems out and get it sorted.

I may add it has nothing to do with the fact that if we play there then we will hold the largest crowd there in 2 consequetive seasons 😂

Please take a look at the BBC website and read the official statement from Bonnyrigg where it is made perfectly clear that hertz are happy to host the game. The problem lies with the sfa who for some unknown reason are keen to have the game played at a smaller stadium with a much smaller crowd.

And no we would not have the largest crowd as the old stand will not be open.

Cheers for the update but since the Scottish Referendum I pay little attention to what the BBC has to say so I havent seen what Bonnyrigg have said about the game.
As for my little joke about crowds at the PBS I am fully aware it wouldn't be a bigger attendence than Hearts this season due to them tearing the old stand down, but it was meant to be witty at least....get it?!

You may also want to take a wee look at the Bonnyrigg website if you don't like what the BBC report
