Does anyone know why it’s taking so long for the QF dates/kick off times to be confirmed?

Be good to make arrangements so I can attend this.

They won't be waiting till a week today to confirm the dates.

I would be surprised if that is the reason to be honest.

Daft as they already know what games each channel is getting and when their likely to be played. Premier sports ill have rangers game Saturday and Celtic game Sunday.

Also Hibs and hearts at home, so those fixtures will have to be seperated.

We play each other the following Tuesday so I can't see either of us getting the Sunday slot.

We will be a Friday night and Hearts will be a Saturday lunchtime/evening. Rangers are away to Braga on the Wednesday in the Europa

I'm sure the ICT fan(s) will be delighted with that. :wink:

Could still have both on the same day although they have actually held cup ties at Easter Road and Tynecastle at the same time before.

However it's unlikely to happen this time with Sevco being one of the away teams.

I also agree believe it will be the Friday. Not sure due to Europa league games and with our game against herts on the Tuesday that it can be anything but.

Hall of Fame Dinner at Easter Road on the Friday night. Could they have a match and function at the same time. Would miss out on one of the hospitality suites?

I don't see why it can't be held on the Saturday, at a different time from the Hearts game.

More worried about the semi dates - got an invite to play in a charity golf day on the Sunday of semi final final weekend. Hoping we’re the Saturday if we see off ICT!

Depends who we get. The biggest Semi (ooh I say) gets played on the Sunday.

Was always going to be that time IMO.

Gives us an extra day to prepare for the derby as well.

Yeah good point.

With Rangers playing the Wednesday night, prior to these fixtures, it makes sense they play the Saturday evening fixture and Celtic on the Sunday (they have a Europa league tie on the Thursday night).

So Friday night was always the most likely for us.

Happy with that, and 7:45 is much better than the 7:05 ko that BBC go for on Friday’s so not sure how we’ve managed that

ICT have league game at Dunfermline on Tuesday 25th so will hopefully be tired after that though realise folk will say we shouldn`t need any extra advantages .

7.05 is only for the championship games on bbc scotland channel. 7.45 has been the kick off time for all Scottish cup ties on bbc one.

Precisely. Can’t complain.
