Premier Sports & BBC SC 5th round Schedule

[The Wireless]

Does anyone know when the Live TV schedule will come out?

[Libby Hibby]

I’ve been told that we’re the Friday night game

By who?

[LancsHibs]

Need to book a hotel room, an early nod would be appreciated😉

[Springbank]

If there isn't at B&B in Ayr called AyrBNB then what even is the point...

[Billy Whizz]

Friday night would be the worst date for me

[hibee1875]

on what channel?

This round just passed the bbc had the Friday night game

[King Cosell]

on what channel?

5 games are televised, Premier Sports gets the first 2 picks (Celtic and Rangers, obvs) and the 5th pick. My guess is the BBC will pick Ayr/Hibs and St Mirren/Hearts.

I didn't know that, but it probably means they're more likely to pick them this round.

You'll eventually get it right 😉

[overdrive]

BBC picked the Rangers game last round I think?

Think that was so they (Premier) could show the Dundee Derby. Normally they just go for Rangers and Celtic as straight off the bat picks.

Yeah but shows they might pick another game if they think it’s attractive enough. Rangers and Celtic at home to lower league sides is very run of the mill.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Having said that there’s not much choice. St Mirren v Hearts, us away to Ayr and Celtic v Raith are probably most likely - Rangers picked as 4th choice game. Not bother with a 5th choice.

Book with free cancellation

[scoopyboy]

Premier will pick the old firm games, it’s the games they make most from due to one off subscriptions

They didn’t in the last round. Maybe cos they’re at home so most folk that wanted to could go.

[davhibby]

It’s probably due to there being a benefit to Premier in showing other teams in the cup now because with the 20 league games they’re more likely to get fans of other clubs subscribing year round

They pick up a lot of subscribers from out with Scotland, I guess we will find out soon

[SHODAN]

Premier Sports will go for Celtic and Rangers, BBC will put us on Friday evening I suspect.

[CentreLine]

Police will want us to avoid clashes with home games for Celtic, the rangers and St Mirren I suspect. Otherwise policing travel arrangements might prove difficult 🤔

The only slight concern might be Hibs and Hearts fans travelling on the same trains to Queen Street but chances of both games kicking off at the same time will be very low (even then, it's happened before for Hampden games with next to no bother).

Played Killie and St Mirren plenty times when Old Firm are at home so no issues there.

For the fourth round the draw was the Monday evening with TV fixtures confirmed on the Thursday. Going by that, can assume TV selections will be confirmed today?

[Renfrew_Hibby]

I suspect Hibs, Hearts, Celtic and Rangers will all be playing on separate days.
Police will not be wanting Hibs and Hearts fans all going on the trains together, remember the Ayr line first stops at Paisley.
Since Hearts were the Friday night game last round and they wouldn't inconvenience old firm fans we will most likely be the Friday game. Rangers and Celtic matches Sat/Sun and Saints v Them on the Monday.
Looking at the remaining fixtures then the only one remotely tv worthy would be Aberdeen v Pars.

The club could put on buses as the last train from Ayr is just after 10 o'clock. Sure they would make money on that.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Last train from Ayr to the weege is 23.05..

[gbhibby]

Last train from Ayr to the weege is 23.05..
Gets into Glasgow after last train to Edinburgh

[hibby rae]

Last train from Ayr to the weege is 23.05..

22.05 is the last to connect to Edinburgh, with a 20 min walk to Ayr station from the ground

[Chorley Hibee]

Just shows what a pathetic transport system we have in this country.

Why would a guy that plays for Spurs have any interest in Hibs Scottish Cup fixture date? 🤔

Transfer window is still open....

[Prof. Shaggy]

22.05 is the last to connect to Edinburgh, with a 20 min walk to Ayr station from the ground

Citilink 900 bus runs every hour through the night.

Glasgow to Edinburgh.

[Dublin07]

22.05 is the last to connect to Edinburgh, with a 20 min walk to Ayr station from the ground

There is a closer station Newton on Ayr 14 min walk. There is also a train at 22.35 which gets into Glasgow Central 20 mins before the last Edinburgh train leaves at 23.45.

[JasonC1875]

22.05 is the last to connect to Edinburgh, with a 20 min walk to Ayr station from the ground

22.33 from Ayr (or 22.35 from Newton-on-Ayr which is closer to the ground) gets to Central 21 minutes before the last train from Queen Street.

I think signing for us would be good for Son's korea.

[Carheenlea]

A very attractive Cup tie for fans moved to a very unattractive KO time for the benefit of TV viewers.

Farce.

[Broken Gnome]

How many did Hearts take to Brechin?

It can be a bit pish behaviour to compare, but it is comparable, isn't it?

[hibsbollah]

Thats Busan it a bit.

[Eyrie]

Thats Busan it a bit.

So if we made him an offer he'd leave us Hy un dai?

[Musselbound]

Good news that this is on the telly and probably everyone who wants a ticket will get one.

It's not good news for those of us who wanted to go and now can't.
