Meh.
Garden party then inside to watch in TV it is then.
No point in moaning about the government we just voted them back in. I doubt any fans will get a ticket now. The time players and officials get their share there won’t be any for regular fans.

Much, much better to set up the TV at home (our outdoors in a gazebo or equivalent) with whatever numbers are permitted.

Absolutely pointless. Won’t even be a ballot, will just get players family in and that.
What a ****ing shambles that is when there’ll be 12,000 in the same ground only 3 weeks later
And if tryour last point turns into reality they better do something about it this timeQuote:

Morton allowed 500 in total at Cappielow the night before, a stadium a fraction of the size of Hampden
You’ve got to laugh.
Thought it was clear the SG don't like football fans in general. There will be more people walking round princess street next Saturday at the same time.Quote:

I think they are doing work on hampden. It seems like there are only certain areas of the stadium they can be used. SG have said fine as long as it’s socially distanced which results in only 600.Quote:

If you applied 2m distancing to the whole stadium I think you'd be looking at 5000 fans. Something like that anyway.
What a ****ing joke.
No I think it will be 600 on top of who goes at the moment.Quote:

They would have been better just scrapping it and blaming the spike in south Glasgow. It’s a valid reason not to allow fans and what I thought would happen tbh.
That's absolutely shocking.
Pathetic.
Yes players families don’t go at the momentQuote:

Numbers given for cases were 58/100,000 which people which is double the control level of 25/100,000.
There is a real question mark whether Glasgow as a whole will be able to move to level 2 next week.
I am surprised Glasgow Council and the Scottish Government moved at all on this and its going to be a huge dilemma for the Euros if these case numbers continue to rise especially based on last years example of exponential growth 🤔😥
I doubt it.Quote:

Personally I hope they keep the tickets internally and they go to staff and player’s families.
Will be like a normal home game for Saints.
If it's over and above the players families etc which I agree, I think it will be, then any hibs support who is an NHS worker should get priority, IMHO.Quote:

Again, folk debating where the 300 tickets will go are missing the point. Don't direct your anger at the club, direct your anger at the authorities for keeping these restrictions surrounding football stadia in place and not giving any clear indication as to when they will end - despite the fact that we are now well past the point of requiring them.
I might agree with you if you tell me who's at fault and why. I take it you know the ins and outs?Quote:

After buying 4 season tickets for this season and renewing 4 for next season all at a considerable cost. That's exactly where I hope the tickets go. Let the families enjoy the game and bring that bloody cup homeQuote:

No traveling into or out of Glasgow is on the cards next week meaning the dispensation to allow 600 is a major concession. The South side of that coity has seen a 33% uplift in cases in the last few day. Guess which side of Glasgow Hampden is on.
Not yet, but it'll come (especially now that you've given them the idea [emoji6]).Quote:

Will be interesting to see how the club go about this one. Trying to choose 300 of 13,000 loyal fans is going to be difficult. As others have said, probably be best to just share the tickets internally for the players family unless tickets have already been kept aside for them.
Tell them to ram their tickets. ****ing insult.
What an absolute disgrace.
Hibs, St Johnstone and the fans of both clubs have been shafted.
300? What was the fkng point?
The Scottish government are biased towards the old firm? InterestingQuote:

Why has the Scottish Government stated it’s 2m social distancing? Public transport is 1m plus and has been for months and there are talks ongoing to remove it all together. Serious questions need to be asked why 500 fans can attend Morton’s home game with a capacity of 11111 yet Hampden has a capacity of 52000 and only 100 more fans can attend. I’m not sure why the Scottish cup final and St Johnstone and Hibs are being treated so poorly by the Scottish Government? Wembley this weekend for FA cup final have 12500. Sturgeon shouts all the time about treating Scotland fairly why is she not treating the Scottish Cup final fairly? This is an appalling decision by the Scottish Government
As Grumpy Gibby the West Stand Hibby used to say - "loady pish"
Why did they even bother with the extra 50 bodies??????????
In that case 600.max at the Euros shouldnt be a problemQuote:

Queens Park probably will disagree. I'm sure they would be happy with 600 fans in Hampden 😁Quote:

12,000 sounds ridiculous and I hope the SFA has a standby get out clause and I say that as someone with tickets for all Hampden matches.
I disagree. I think Hibs should try and make sure every person who gets a ticket, is a season ticket holderQuote:

There’s a lot of fantastic long term Hibs supporters out there, and I would be absolutely gutted for some of them, if all the tickets were given to staff and players families
Just like every other variant then eh. Strangely enough two weeks ago Leitch was telling everyone who would listen that cases would always rise when things were eased. The fact we have the vaccine sorts that out. Maybe about time the government sorted the vaccine rollout out, even more misgivings about that today regarding more technical issues preventing people getting it.Quote:

I hope both clubs tell them where to go, allocating 300 tickets will cause more trouble than it’s worth.
I get what you are saying, but the numbers are so small it’s not making much of a dent into all of the season ticket holders.Quote:

You can have 500 at any outdoor event from next week. I’m going to guess they are keeping it tight for this event due to their being spikes in positives cases in that area. Tbh I never thought for a second we would have anyone at this game. I’d rather we kept it to 500 at everything until next season.
what about them?Quote:

I'm going for my second vaccination on Monday but what is the point if we aren't really seeing much benefit from it. With such a ridiculously low number I think I would get together with St Johnstone and tell them to ram it. The SFA have been very poor too and should have used the final as a test event and tied it to the Euros to put pressure on SG.
