Semi Final draw - Hearts v Hibs

[Libby Hibby]

Find it incredible there’s grown adults worried about getting slagged for a team they support not selling some tickets.

Take it on the chin, laugh it off and move on. Who cares what they think.

If we get pumped again we’ll get slagged about that, if we win then who cares who else wasn’t there to see it?!

Correct

[Hermit Crab]

I stayed to the end and will do this Saturday Unless the players have just downed tools and don’t look interested then they wouldn’t deserve anyone to stay behind and politely clap

Which is exactly what happened on Saturday after the 3rd goal. They just gave up and done a Houdini.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

We’ll beat them and not get a full allocation for the final because of ***** ticket uptake for the semi, for the second cup final this season. Can see it a mile off.

No we won’t, the SFA for all their faults will start off with a 50/50 split. If what you say about semi final sales being taken into account for cup final allocation then we would never get a full allocation

How would that work in reality though?

I've bought tickets using my St and my dads.

But it's me my wife and two mates going as my dad is on holiday.

So he doesn't get a ticket despite being a season ticket holder?

As far as the Club are concerned, your dad bought tickets for the SF.

Aye, but the post i was responding to said priority for those who went to the final.

That's the problem with this idea. It wouldn't work in reality.

[itslegaltender]

is tickets through mail only or can you get them to phone? if mail only, is there also an option to pick up at Hibs ticket office? Buying them tomorrow.

[Since452]

This. 15/16k for a semifinal at Hamdump is pretty good. We've had a lot less at plenty of other semis. To suggest this should have a bearing on allocations for a National cup final is garbage.

The crapness of Hibs, result at the weekend, live TV and Hearts record against us will keep many of the usual day-tripper away.

History shows some of Hibs very best Semi results have been in front of small Hibs supports.

Attendances in previous rounds should never have a bearing on ticket allocation for a final. Celtic Park was 3/4 empty against Raith Rovers in an earlier round. Should that be taken in to consideration for the final?

If a club can potentially sell half of Hampden Park for a Cup Final then they should be given the opportunity to do so. Apart from the Old Firm it’s really just Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen that have the support to do so, but they should still have the courtesy of having the full allocation to sell.

It really is pathetic. I can only hope they live to regret it after a Hibs win and that the club finds a way to prioritise those of us who are going to the semi.

Every interview anybody to do with Hearts has done this week has referenced tickets. They’ll be getting it drummed in to them about how much more it means, how they need to win and so on. Saw it last week when they didn’t really even have anything to play for in comparison to us.

Take a day off ffs. The 16k who are going will outsing their 20k.

[FilipinoHibs]

G2 will be sold out by Saturday. Still 17k fans going to be there. 5 smaller sections to left of the goal will be empty. Still plenty of backing for the team. In 2006 it was people leaving early all over the ground because of the heavy defeat that looked bad. Still a massive Hibs support. Get behind the team and they will get behind you.

I think people are actually returning tickets, some are appearing in previously sold out sections of the ground.

[Frazerbob]

Ticket sales are disappointing but pretty much as expected all things considered. They are what they are. We can’t change it now. Time to put that disappointment to bed and for those of us who are not *****bags to look forward to another massive day out at Hampden, get behind the players and enjoy the day. With a bit of luck and a big effort from everyone wearing green, we CAN get a result. That’s all that matters now.

Let’s get torn into these *******s!

Yep, as much as I’m disappointed by it (and think it can/will have some kind of influence) it’s not changing now. Same with all the criticism/moaning/complaining (a lot of it justified by the way) about everything and anything to do with the club. It’s time to park that for a couple of days and get behind them. It’s one of the biggest games in the history of the club, really hope everyone involved on Saturday realises that.

You can't return printed tickets, I tried for the league cup final as one of us couldn't make it.

Addition: This is a Hampden/SFA policy not Hibs, so LunasBoots you might have seen someone get a refund off Hibs but it wasn't for semi final tickets.

It's being implied that people are returning tickets for non-Covid reasons.

The numbers are irrelevant to me, but why are they sold in blocks if the empty blocks can't go to the opposition team? (If required)

Surely in a situation like this, holding off the first 10 or so rows at the front and back behind the goals and selling all the way around would make a lot more sense? Sell the rest as needed.

Do you think? It was mainly why I made the point. 17000 fully enclosing the pitch would look better on TV than 17000 with 5 empty sections. Especially if most the empty seats are towards the back.

I take the point when we're talking about 8000 fans. Looks terrible spreading that over 20000 seats.

I don't really care, was just an observation and the 'how the game looks' line if often brought up. I think I'd prefer to look around at a fully enclosed end but ultimately it means nothing.

But I hadn't realised the cameras don't really pick up that area, and that answers my question of why they've sold it how they have.

No really fussed about what it looks like on TV, but think it’ll impact on the atmosphere sitting in the south stand with a big gap to the rest of the Hibs crowd.

The cameras will miss most of the empty seats the way it is - would say that is much better than having every section 2/3rds full or whatever.

I don't think anyone is "losing their mind" over how it looks on the TV. But it is amazing how many people don't appreciate how important it is for the image of our game to avoid obvious empty seats in big games.

Barry Hearn talked about its importance when he did his mini review of Scottish Football - its pretty vital for the credibility of Scottish Football and selling advertising and TV deals, as well as the image of Hibs.

So, the obvious answer to that is that the big games at Hampden should be exclusive to the five clubs who might be able to sell 20 odd thousand tickets each.

No that's just silly. Its about making the most of the situation available based on the clubs playing, which is what is being done this time in the main. Although a mistake was made opening South Upper for Hibs fans. And we are one of the 5 big clubs - yet we still cant sell close to 20k btw.

The real problem is Hampden - its design makes it difficult for slightly smaller crowds. Wembley has closed top tiers a number of times when crowds aren't close to capacity, to ensure most fans are packed in and visible on TV. Hopefully the redevelopment of Hampden will take all these things into consideration.

Anyone else working through the sliding scale of Hibs emotion this week?

It started last Saturday with the thought that “this Hibs team is so weak and understrength that there is no point in turning up we’re going to get pumped.” Gradually the supporters irrational hope starts to kick in. You go through stages of thought. “Well, we would never have won both games would we.” Then to glimmers of hope “ at least Porteous is available”.

I am currently at the desperate state of “well, it’s eleven v eleven” and soon to move on to the more supersticious state of “ we’re due one against these lucky b***ards”

By tomorrow at kick off time, several pint in, i will be at peak supporterspace of “let’s do these Jambo ****ers….Easy!!!!!”

So are we talking about 17k sold or thereabouts in the end? (5 sections unsold = 5k / allocation was 22k)

Allocation was just over 20k.

5 unsold behind the goals although some of them are smaller. Plus some sections upstairs in the south. 16kish I’d say.

We have sold about 4300 in the North, 8000 in the East and about 4000 in the South. So anywhere between 16 and 17k

Which is very respectable when we are not winning games

There's 24 sections excluding the centre section of the South. We have sold 19. 3 of the unsold sections are large. A simple ratio of our 20,000 would give us 15,833. So just over 15k is about right.

So nearly 16 thousand

Yes I think it will be close to that. Don't know if we any of the centre section of the South or the Upper tier of it will have Hibs fans in it.

We sold 3 sections in the South upper

Thanks then I think we be around 17,0000 then.

[Since452]

Have a good day folks. Hopefully we're all celebrating at full time.

[Nicho87]

I can take getting beat from a controversial goal or hitting the woodwork 3 times, just not our day etc.

What I won’t accept is abject performances and lack of passion

Give us effort and energy for 90 minutes it’s a step in the right direction.

[GRA]

Today is the day! If we lose we can dissect it afterwards. Until then let's get behind the team!

Have just a feeling we're going to do it again. I see a penalty shootout victory. To mirror Conrad's heroics 6 years ago today!

Derby Day! Breakfast ready, bus in an hour, few jars before the game and then support the club I love. Wouldn’t have it any other way. These are the games you want as a football fan.

We had more fans at ER at home to St Johnstone. Shows how much fans aren't bothered about this team. Plus its on BBC.

You're literally obsessed with crowd sizes and ticket sales. Odd behaviour.

[Chuck Rhoades]

We’ve not sold out and they have. Embarrassing. Their support and players will get a lift seeing our end compared to theirs before a ball is even kicked. And I highly doubt we’ll take anything but a knock of confidence from it!

Those that are there will, as ever, do their bit and back the team.

There’s obviously people who can’t make it for a variety of reasons, but there’s thousands that have simply chosen not to go. They’ll not have an excuse if we get to the final!

When we get there, I hope Hibs give final tickets to those at semi plus any ST holders who didn’t attend. Give the rest to one of the Uglies.

Who do you think will take penalties?. I think Hearts have better options & better Keeper so Penalties would be my least preferable option. Need to pump them in 90 minutes.

Give it a rest ffs. This has been done to death for weeks. Lets get behind the team and shut the gorgie tramps up by beating them, not by counting seats.

The final will also be 6 years to the day since THAT day.

Anyone any tips on parking round hampden? Was going to jump on the train but now the days here I can’t be bothered with it

[H18 SFR]

I hope we go full Atletico today, bite, scratch, nip and hair pull to victory.

Tactical fouls galore please, lose the ball in the final third, foul to ensure no counter. McKay get the ball - foul!

I’ll take a scunner of a Performance.

1-0 Hibs, Cadden.

[dastardly8]

Sorry guys but just can’t see us winning today , after last week we had no clue how to manage the game after taking the lead , and two goals either side of half time was criminal , poor defending , toothless attack , I’m afraid it looks like that shower will rub it in again , really think we need to replace the manager already as he is out his depth , I think I will be watching it from behind the sofa

"A girl in the ticket office says we have sold just over 15,000". By the sections we have sold it looks to be closer to 17,000.

No need to apologise for your cowardice.

Also driving. Suggest park near Croftfoot Station and walk about 20 minutes.

I’ve used the Just Park App the last couple of times , hasn’t been too pricey and got fairly close to ground.

We ain’t that bad and they ain’t that good. We had a really bad day last week but our team is more than capable of winning today.

Couldn't give a ****. I'm a Hibs supporter, I support Hibs, especially in games like this.

Go support Celtic if you only follow when things are going well.

[weecounty hibby]

I am excited as **** as usual for a big Hibs game. Tempered by being gutted that I can't go due to having Covid. Cmon Hibs, 100% effort and commitment is the bare minimum. Get right into the puddle drinkers

Did it matter in the semi final against the huns? No it didn’t.

Give this pish a rest and enjoy the day.

Remember whatever happens, it happened.

There is a Jambo next to me on the train who has clearly had a Colombian breakfast, literally shaking all over and twitching. Hope he has a bad comedown by 2:30.
