Giant screen at Leith Links or Easter Road ?!
Its ridiculous really there isnt fans at the final.
especially only couple weeks after there will be 25k at Hampden.
Pressure should be put on
The Scottish FA are clueless and it's no wonders fans / sponsors don't have any confidence in them
Whoever signed off the UEFA take control of the stadium situation should be sacked.
Even if this is the legit reason then why not allow fans in small numbers to attend. Should be really easily to police and even 500-1000 each would add more atmosphere and the occasion better for everyone.
Families of the players should even be able to attend and even a ballot for some fans - who have to show a negative test could easily be done.
I see the Club have launched a "couch cup final" t shirt for pre order already. Fair play.:greengrin

Both clubs should be lobbying to have fans at the game when it’s permitted in the governments restrictions. I’d have no chance of a ticket but even having a few thousand of us there would make it more special and legitimate for the rest of us.
Nonsense. I'm fully expecting Hibs to hammer St Johnstone 3 nil with a dominating display to put to bed that hoodoo before returning to the pitch to collect their trophy in "Hibernian Football Club Scottish Cup winners 2020/2021 - Get It Happen" tshirts.
Anything less and I'm starting a Ross Out poll.
Wouldn’t really be fair to let some fans in for a Cup Final when 10’s of thousands would be locked out.
You could say that about any high profile game over the years - fans miss out. Happens all the time with concerts etc.
Of course fans would be disappointed but if they allowed some Hibs fans / opposition fans in to support the team surely it will make it a more memorable occasion?!
Watching events (boxing last night / tennis / England football / darts) around the world have fans in them but tin pot Scottish FA can’t even try to get a small number in - shows their ambition.
Don't you think that's a bit like cutting your nose off to spite your face?
Why shouldn't there be some random draw of season ticket holders for the few tickets available? I personally wouldn't expect to get one but I'd much rather have a few thousand hibbys there then none at all

Levels were reviewed recently. All of Scotland is at present in Level 3 but goes to Level 2 on Monday 17th May. Although no specific reference is made to football games it becomes much less strict than now, leaving it very much in the hands of the Scottish Parliament. Anyone got the right contact?
If the club managed a ballot for current season ticket holders that want to be in it then I don’t see a problem.
If it were to go along the usual Hibs Ticketmaster lottery shaped effort then it’s not going to be fair, well managed or pleasant.
All hypothetical of course.
It’s never happening which is absolutely scandalous.
SFA would be making more of an effort if either of the uglies were in the final.
The SFA have absolutely no interest in trying to get supporters to see the game. It’s too much work and expense that they can clearly do without. Disgraceful from the custodians of our game.
I would hate for any cup final to played on anything but grass, something lacking at Livingston and I'm sure dunfermline have a synthetic pitch now as well. I would still be open to moving the game if it means getting fans in though

Yup.
Hibs and whatever Saints make the final should be joining forces to demand the game is moved venue to allow fans in.
I’d be pretty disappointed in Hibs if they didn’t put a hell of a lot of public pressure on to get it moved. If they’ve been told that it quite simply won’t be happening then Hibs should be publicly condemning it.
