League Cup Semi Final

[one day maybe...]

Confirmed for the 21st of November at 4pm

[Billy Whizz]

Confirmed for the 21st of November at 4pm

Rather that time than 12.30 or so

[Latapy'sVolley]

Anyone got whiff of supporter buses going yet?

[one day maybe...]

Rather that time than 12.30 or so

Exactly no stupid early morning rise for most. :flag::flag:

[Cod Boy]

Are Rangers given us permission to attend hampden

[JimBHibees]

Are Rangers given us permission to attend hampden

:greengrin

[Ringothedog]

The Sunday is really crap due to the lack of trains. Let’s hope the trains are running at something like normal by then

[B.H.F.C]

Always thought we’d be the Sunday so happy enough with the KO time.

[JimBHibees]

Always thought we’d be the Sunday so happy enough with the KO time.

Certainly better than a lunchtime one. Just hope the trains get sorted.

[one day maybe...]

Wonder what the ticket split will be, surely 50/50 :greengrin

[Billy Whizz]

Wonder what the ticket split will be, surely 50/50 :greengrin

It has to be, but will we sell our allocation

[Since452]

Are Rangers given us permission to attend hampden

I wonder what end we'll be in...

[Ringothedog]

It has to be, but will we sell our allocation

In answer to your question….No. 15000 would be more than enough

[JimBHibees]

I wonder what end we'll be in...

Think they will toss a coin as usual :rolleyes:

[JimBHibees]

It has to be, but will we sell our allocation

Can't see it to be honest. Guess would be 10 to 15k.

[Since452]

It has to be, but will we sell our allocation

I think with it being a Sunday and the train situation we'll be doing well to take 10k

[B.H.F.C]

It has to be, but will we sell our allocation

I don’t think it has to be. We pushed for it against Celtic a few years ago, got it, and failed to sell about 10k.

I think we’ll get half the south and behind the goals.

[Billy Whizz]

In answer to your question….No. 15000 would be more than enough

The problem we have with selling 15,000 is they may give Rangers some of the better seats we’d get with a 50/50 split. It’s not guaranteed to get a 50/50 split, as below

League Cup Rules and regular
10.7 For each Match in the Semi Final Round of the Competition:

10.7.1 the ticket pricing and number of tickets to be allocated to each participating
Club/club shall be determined by the Board;

10.7.2 15% (or such lesser percentage as the Company may be able to agree) of the gross admission receipts after deduction of the applicable VAT shall be paid to the neutral venue owner and operator as payment for the hire of the stadium and associated services;

10.7.3 following the payment specified at Regulation 10.7.2, the Match expenses and costs incurred by the Company or for which the Company is liable shall then be deducted from the remaining balance and applied in the discharge and/or reimbursement of such expenses and costs;

10.7.4 the Company shall retain 5% of the remaining balance following the payments specified at Regulations 10.7.2 and 10.7.3; and

10.7.5 following all payments specified in this Regulation 10.7 the remaining net admission receipts after all such deductions, payments etc. shall have been made and/or allowed for shall be divided equally amongst the four competing Clubs or clubs which participated in the Semi Final Round of the Competition.

No chance Billy. We aint selling 20k tickets for Semi final live on the tv at 4pm on a Sunday with no trains.

[wookie70]

I'd guess we will get 15K which should be enough. As said the problem is that will mean we will have loads of very poor seats as they will give us the east and half the main stand and we will lose loads of good seats in the north

[green with envy]

No chance Billy. We aint selling 20k tickets for Semi final live on the tv at 4pm on a Sunday with no trains.

We wouldn't sell out even if it wasn't live, or trains were running.

[SHODAN]

Ahahahah, this is literally the ONE date and time I can't make as a family member's 60th is at 7pm the same day. Enjoy the trip, everyone.

[Hermit Crab]

We wouldn't sell out even if it wasn't live, or trains were running.

Correct! :agree:

[Ringothedog]

Correct! :agree:

How many trains are there to Glasgow on a Sunday?

[Potty78]

Ten thousand tickets will be plenty if past semis against them are anything to go by!

[HH81]

Best day for me and will stay over in Glasgow.

[Since452]

10k should be more than enough

[gbhibby]

With no trains it could be a good earner for Lothian Buses. They put on loads of buses for the Hibs v Dunfermline final. Was sitting in a pub in Rutherglen before the final and Double and Single decker buses passed. The bar person commented it was like being in Princes Street due to the numbers of buses that passed.

[gbhibby]

Ahahahah, this is literally the ONE date and time I can't make as a family member's 60th is at 7pm the same day. Enjoy the trip, everyone.
They could come to the game as well. 😁😁😁😁

[hibbyfraelibby]

None...

[davhibby]

I’m sure the trains via Bathgate have still been running, and there should be a few Cross Country ones to Central too. The Citylink bus is still an option as well

[Onceinawhile]

Nope.

Two a day on a Sunday from bathgate.

[Jones28]

Nae way, it if had been the Saturday we might have had a chance.

[weecounty hibby]

I wonder what end we'll be in...

The traditional Hibs end

[MWHIBBIES]

Ten thousand tickets will be plenty if past semis against them are anything to go by! The last one was 17 years ago mid week, I don't think you can really judge based on that?

[G15 Hibs]

Nope.

Two a day on a Sunday from bathgate.

https://www.scotrail.co.uk/plan-your-journey/passenger-disruption/sunday-strikes-planned

One an hour from Waverley to Helensburgh via Glasgow Queen Street low level (and everywhere else in central Scotland, including Bathgate) from 8.36am until 6.40pm.

Last one back to Edinburgh (on the same line) is probably around 7.30-8pm-ish.

[PatHead]

Anyone got whiff of supporter buses going yet?

Depends on whether there is any petrol available by then.

[Jones28]

Depends on whether there is any petrol available by then.

What about the Lothian busses that run on cow ****?

[Pretty Boy]

Happy with that kick off time.

I think our form between now and tickets going on sale will determine how many we sell. If we take something from Ibrox at the weekend and continue our good form then I think 15/16K is realistic. A couple of bad results and around the 10K mark will cover it.

Not really bothered anyway. I'll be there and one of the best nights I have ever had at Hampden was when we were outnumbered about 4 to 1 by huns and we done them on penalties.

[Sir David Gray]

We'll be lucky if we take 12k to this game, based on previous semi final attendances in recent years.

No way we'll have 25k there sadly.

Oh and we'll get the Celtic end of Hampden, the only completely neutral national stadium I'm aware of where two teams have their own end.

22k is the most each team can get as debentures and sponsors get the rest
Don’t see why we can’t take 15k plus tbh .
They haven’t beat us at Hampden since 79
Surely it’s the Hibs end now ,, five Semis in a row .

We've probably been there more than them recently, should be renamed the Hibs end.

Ok 22k, just mean the crowd won't be 50/50.

I'd be delighted if we could shift 15k.

It's sadly not the Hibs end, just wait to see what end we get if we happen to play Celtic in the final.

[King Cosell]

I think with it being a Sunday and the train situation we'll be doing well to take 10k

You can book a seat on the Megabus. Run every 15 mins, £3.60 each way.

[Potty78]

The last one was 17 years ago mid week, I don't think you can really judge based on that?

Ok I'll base it on our semi support against celtic only a few years back🙄 ten thousand will be plenty

You surely mean we will get the hibs end

[jgl07]

This title could do with a Splel Chequer.

[Sir David Gray]

You surely mean we will get the hibs end

What end do you think we'll get the next time we play Celtic at Hampden?

It's nice to think of it as the Hibs end but sadly there's a Rangers end and a Celtic end at Hampden and that's it.

[Allez Hibs]

Nope.

Two a day on a Sunday from bathgate.That's madness. How do they get away with such poor service in Scotland?

[bingo70]

Doesn’t bother me that in the slightest.

Rangers pubs are at that end and the Celtic pubs are at the other I think aren’t they? I know strictly speaking you shouldn’t allocate sides based on that but in terms of the logistics and security element it makes complete sense to have them approaching from that end and not passing each other to get in.

Also think it gives them no advantage so i personally don’t see the issue.

[Carheenlea]

15k will be an acceptable allocation and one that could sell out if we are in good form. Suppose the segregation will be factor in how many we receive as it’s not quite as simple as just throwing figures into the air as to what we think we can sell.

[Allez Hibs]

Is there really “Rangers” and “Celtic” pubs at Hampden?

They can do whatever they like whenever they play each other at Hampden but surely when Hibs play Celtic for example and we inevitably get assigned the Rangers end i.e. the west side of the stadium, our fans who are predominantly coming from the east need to get through the Celtic fans in order to get to the other side of the stadium so I don't really get the security argument from that perspective.

Whenever one of them plays any other team in Scotland there should be a coin toss to decide which end of the stadium each team gets.

[SJNB Hibby]

I get vertigo every time I see it

[MacBean]

Strikes on Sunday’s for the last few months have affected the services. Wouldn’t normally be like that

Also think it gives them no advantage so i personally don’t see the issue.It doesn't bother me at all now that the 2 ends are identical but before the Rangers end, being covered, was definitely better. I've always regretted that we weren't in the other end for the LC final in 1991 - we would have made some racket!

[TelaStella]

Is there really “Rangers” and “Celtic” pubs at Hampden?

All over the city. A few Celtic ones on that side of hampden though, all the way down Cathcart road from Mount Florida into Crosshill and beyond.

I think we'll get a good crowd for this, although the trains is a problem.

No.

I'm thinking more about the semi final against them in 2017 when we went into the game in 6th place, had just got a draw at Parkhead a couple of weeks beforehand and yet only took around 10,000 to Hampden.

[Keith_M]

We can easily fill out our end at a Cup Final, but semi-finals are a different prospect entirely


Plus we usually get a lot less at LC Semi Finals than at SC Semi Finals

[danhibees1875]

None...

The app says there is 1 an hour on Sunday?

[Keith_M]

The app says there is 1 an hour on Sunday?


You'd have to check with HC to be sure but I think there's one an hour via Bathgate, plus a couple of Cross Country trains.

The problem is that the trains via Bathgate are already totally mobbed, even without football fans. Trust me, that's the one I went on to the game on Sunday and it was standing room only by the time we went past Coatbridge.

[Tarrahib]

That’s Our hotel booked for the Sunday night. We have also booked the bus down on Sunday morning, unfortunatelyt it will be mostly Rangers supporters with maybe a few Hibees.

Trains via the A-B line on a Sunday are mobbed, and very slow as they stop at every lamppost. There is massive potential for trouble on those trains as well given the areas they travel through from which Rangers fans will be joining the trains as well. The line may also be closed for engineering works, thats the message coming up on the app, check back at a later date.

[HH81]

Hotel booked Sunday night. Let's hope I get a ticket now. 😁

[HibeeHibernian4]

When it comes to semi finals a lot of our support seem to find reasons to sit at home and watch it on the telly. Scotrail have handed them the reasons this time. Could be a lot worse kick off times than 4pm on a Sunday by the way.

[Garymcl]

At least it’s a decent kick off time the usual excuse is the early kick off you can go by car bus and there is ways to go by train if you plan and really want to go cmon guys it’s a semi final at our 2nd home plenty time to plan ahead re travel let’s sell this out and get right behind this team ggtth

[bigwheel]

I wonder if Hibs might arrange buses for the semi to counter the impact of the train issues……would perhaps see a bigger turnout ….

They could get a sponsor for the buses which covers cost and charge fans 5 quid head with free scarf.

Have some sympathy with this

We live in a country where the national stadium is under 120mins away (some teams have "local derbies" that take longer to travel to)

There are busses, trains, cars, supporters busses that folk can access

The kickoff is not late or night or early in the morning

And most of all, our Hibs team this season is well worth backing

As the great Sicilian author Sciascia said "a ciascuno il suo (to each his own)" but for me, I cannot wait for this game & I will be there

[Since452]

Can't help but look back on our LC semi a few seasons ago against Celtic. Cold, dark, pissing down, pumped, carnage at Mount Florida trying to leave. Will i let that put me off? Absolutely not :flag:

[DTS]

Anyone got whiff of supporter buses going yet?

Down The Slope are looking at arranging a bus, can drop us a DM on Twitter to let us know if you’re interested!

Add to the fact we missed 4 trips to Hampden since the pandemic began people will be itching to go to this. I know I certainly am

That's normally all true, but sadly not the trains this time.


This is a genuine issue for a lot folk. I took about two hours on Sunday to get from Mount Florida to ER using the available trains and it's going to be much worse for anybody coming through to the Semi-Final.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

10K will be plenty.

[Since90+2]

I'm guessing train is probably how about 30% of our support get to Hampden for these games. If that option isn't available it's undoubtedly going to impact on the crowd we take.

There simply won't be enough buses/bus drivers to take the thousands of folk who normally go by train.

Who is staffing these trains, managers/scabs?

Yeah, that wasn't great.

I'd really love us to take a big support to this one and get right behind the team. They've more than earned it.

[number9dream]

Who is staffing these trains, managers/scabs?

Not a conductor in sight on the Sunday slow coach to Helensburgh. Must be drivers willing to work...
The service is utterly mobbed and someone had the bright idea of bolting all the windows shut just to ramp up the covid roulette.

Around 90% of trains in Scotland are not running on Sundays and it's been that way since April.
It's about conductors being paid less than drivers when called in on a scheduled day off. No idea how often that happens but there's obviously not much going on to address the situation, which is a scandal.

They are driver only operation services (DOO), something thats been campaigned against since the 80's, theres supposed to be a 2nd person on board for safety reasons but its not beyond the realms of possibility that the train ran with just a driver breaching the agreement.

[Hermit Crab]

Who is staffing these trains, managers/scabs?


Correct.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Correct.

In that case I won't be travelling on one of these services on 21st.

[Hermit Crab]

In that case I won't be travelling on one of these services on 21st.


Drivers are not scabbing as they're a different union but the managers who are covering may well be in the same union as those who are taking action, I applaud you for not using the services. Up the workers. :hug:

[hibbysam]

Prices and allocations confirmed. Rangers half the south, whole of the west and whole of the north. Hibs half the south and half the east, presumably the other half of the east will be given to Rangers if we don’t sell it. Would far rather have half the north than half the south. Piss poor seating.

Prices £25-£35 for adults.

Correct.

[Mikey_1875]

Shame we couldn’t get the north. Will that be about 10k initial allocation with option of 15 then?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

No complaints about that will be enough tickets, with opportunity of more, but I doubt they'll be needed.

[wookie70]

No complaints about that will be enough tickets, with opportunity of more, but I doubt they'll be needed.

No complaints about the number of tickets but we are getting shafted with the view from the ones available.

[The Modfather]

Full or part subsidy of supporters buses would make a huge difference to the attendance.

Would certainly be a welcome gesture. The kind of thing Hibs should be doing every now and then as a thank you for our support IMO. Especially if there’s innovative ways like sponsoring the buses etc so Hibs aren’t making a loss, but breaking even or making a profit shouldn’t be the driver behind a potential gesture like this.

**** them should be half and half for a semi or the North should at least be split half and half.

[Carheenlea]

Don’t mind the South - better facilities inside than North and plenty good seats, albeit a bit further from pitch than North.

Just need to try and keep further back from front to ensure a decent view!

[Mikey_1875]

Notice on the spfl statement it says the availability may change subject to the ticket demand. I.e if we don’t take the other half of the east then they will basically. Hopefully we make a big effort to sell out our allocation and not have them on every side of the ground!

[Billy Whizz]

**** them should be half and half for a semi or the North should at least be split half and half.

Hampden layout
Disappointing bit for me, is the 2 under 16’s I take can’t sit beside me in the South, unless they pay full price

[Nakedmanoncrack]

No complaints about the number of tickets but we are getting shafted with the view from the ones available.

We aren't, South Stand is the most modern & has the best seats, albeit some of the front ones are probably inferior to equivalent in North. Splitting us between North & South isn't an option, so this is as good as its going to get
when we are only taking a relatively small support, and is certainly better than having no tickets for the South (main) stand which would be consequence of having North instead. Seats with crap views is just another of the excuses folk are getting in early.

I’m not making any excuses, an under 16 should be able and I sit in the South, with an under 16 price

[gbhibby]

Let's sell out our allocation and see what happens. Do they not release tickets in different phases.

[JimBHibees]

I’m not making any excuses, an under 16 should be able and I sit in the South, with an under 16 price

Agree especially when the game will like most league cup semi finals unlikely to be a sell out.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

If thats the case I share your disappointment.

It’s always been the same Billy eh. We always just pay the extra but we have minimum 4 concessions in our group who sit together. Even making it £20 for concessions in there would help

Hey ho, it’s only money 😉

[Garymcl]

Let’s get this sold out no excuses and back the team ggtth

[bingo70]

I didn’t realise that was the case.

I’ve been to Hampden twice with the wee man and both times it was ruined for him by steaming idiots and folk who won’t sit down in front of him. Don’t get me wrong, I was one of those idiots for a good chunk of my Hibs supporting life so I don’t want to be too harsh on them. After the last time I promised him the next time we go we’d sit in the posh seats with the old boring farts like I am now.

Don’t think I can justify paying adult prices for an 8 year old though so suspect we’ll be back in with the riff raff again and hopefully we get lucky with our seats.

[Blaster]

I didn’t realise that was the case.

I’ve been to Hampden twice with the wee man and both times it was ruined for him by steaming idiots and folk who won’t sit down in front of him.

It’s the same reasons we usually go there Bingo. Including the old farts bit 😂

[HH81]

We getting South upper then?

Hope I can get one up there.

Just block H which is on the byline, no idea who’s getting the central other areas, although most are probably debenture holders

Cheers. Will probably end up south lower which not end of the world.

Prices and allocations confirmed. Rangers half the south, whole of the west and whole of the north. Hibs half the south and half the east, presumably the other half of the east will be given to Rangers if we don’t sell it. Would far rather have half the north than half the south. Piss poor seating.

Prices £25-£35 for adults.

Where has this info been confirmed? Any links?

Used to get round that in the past by standing on beer cans😁
Hope you get decent seats this time.

[erin go bragh]

Shame we couldn’t get the north. Will that be about 10k initial allocation with option of 15 then?

Looks like it . We get 20% of the capacity and at the most we will have 30%
How the hell is that fair for a semi final at a meant to be neutral venue .
And no child prices for the best view we get 🤬
Ps I will be attending 😊

I don’t think we can complain about it being unfair to be honest. We probably won’t even sell all the tickets we can potentially get.

East holds 12,800 plus so, along with the tickets in the south would imagine we can get up to about 17-18k which will be plenty.

We were given an equal number of tickets in recent years and didn't come close to selling our allocation so can't really complain sadly.

[Onceinawhile]

Annoyed I can't get my usual area. But will try and get behind the other corner flag instead.

[Potty78]

As long as I get the same seat as 2004, 2016 or the same space as 1991👍

[Keith_M]

Drivers are not scabbing as they're a different union but the managers who are covering may well be in the same union as those who are taking action, I applaud you for not using the services. Up the workers. :hug:


Aye, get it right up the lot of you!

Sounds fair enough, given the numbers we usually take to semi finals.

I think there's about 14,000 seats in the East Stand, so when you add the seats in the South, that's more than enough.

[hibbyfraelibby]

The app says there is 1 an hour on Sunday?

Subject to the on going industrial action by Scotrail staff so none on the day even if Scotrail plan them.

[nickwhibs]

Full or part subsidy of supporters buses would make a huge difference to the attendance.

Agreed - would be a great idea. Maybe it’s something KP could raise?

[CMurdoch]

Hampden layout
Disappointing bit for me, is the 2 under 16’s I take can’t sit beside me in the South, unless they pay full price

Yeah it is a bit naughty.
You can take kids to the game but if you want to sit next to them you have to sit in the seats in outer mongolia.
Similarly over 65's with poorer sight will naturally be situated ..................... miles from the action.
Ron would call it creative pricing.

[Hibee Mac]

Anyone know when they go on sale?

[HH81]

Anyone know when they go on sale?

This week hopefully?

[Pagan Hibernia]

If we can somehow win this match (and that’s assuming the officials allow us to win it) it will be one of the sweetest victories we’ve ever had against that mob

[Torto7]

Everyone needs to try their best to get to this. It would be soul destroying seeing vast areas of empty seats. Get out if you can and make sure we're heard from the off.

There won’t be, we’ll sell the initial allocation even if sales are a bit slow. I’d imagine we’d need to sell most of what we’ve been given very quickly to get any more which won’t happen.

[Earlydelivery]

This week hopefully?
3 weeks time

[HH81]

3 weeks time

Seems a while away. Surely quicker on sale can build excitement.

[Pagan Hibernia]

So are The Rangers allowing us to go to this one? Awfully good of them.

[Dublin07]

Yes but they get to pick the ref, assistants, have 14 players and control the goal line technology.

[Since452]

Yes but they get to decide what end we're in

[HH81]

Any idea when these are coming on sale?

Don't mind being in The Sir David Gray end. Let them have the Mount Florida end. 😁

[Billy Whizz]

Hopefully next month, it’s been an expensive October for away tickets

North is the best seating in the ground.
But everyone stands so the seats can't be that good?

[Keith_M]

I have a theory on that and I think it's because you have to be really short to qualify for a ticket in the North Stand.

We’re not getting the North stand for this game, so you’ll be fine😀

[MartinfaePorty]

Sevco tickets went on sale yesterday. Any news on ours?

[ronaldo7]

On sale tomorrow

[davhibby]

Just as an aside, that’s the trains back on a Sunday from this week so there’s no problems with getting the train through for this one now
