So the SFA have someone with a media presence, who advises them on whatever, pushing something out that doesn’t actually appear to be true. Very convenient that.

I don’t think they’ve had any interest in doing anything (particularly with the big two out) and were hoping it would just pass by without any real challenge.

Pittodrie should be an absolute no go.

Playing the national cup final at that hole of a stadium? No thanks.

There would be what, 500 fans of each team there? I suppose it would be good for the fans who did make it but I just think it would lose some of its glamour being played there. Let's be honest, it's a ***** stadium and just wouldn't feel right IMO.

Presumably you won't be putting your name forward for a ballot then if it's at Pittodrie? 😀

I'm certain most of the players would prefer Hampden with no fans than Pittodrie with a very small amount of fans. Has to be a non starter shirley to goodness.

Assuming we're in level 2 8 people from 8 households can meet outdoors and with outdoor events (which a parade would probably be classed as) a maximum of 500 people can attend although this could be increased by the government.

Yuup, members organisation, until the members want something different and then the beaks put their foot down.

Snap.

Even if I wasn't one of the 50, 500 or 5000 I'd still be delighted for those who did make it.

I'm usually quite big on the way Scottish football presents itself and would like to see us do more to make the 'product' look good on TV. In this instance though playing the game with some fans present in whatever venue is more important than the spectacle of playing it at Hampden.

The SCF is the pinnacle. It needs to be played on our best pitches.

The only stadiums I'd be comfortable with it being moved to facilitate fans is celtic Park, ibrox, murrayfield or easter road.

I don't want it played on a tattie field or narrow pitch

Fair shout.

Discussions still ongoing with SFA - club is aware of all of our views and strongly pushing the issue for fans (echoes a lot of what Jack Ross said to the press on Friday) - https://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...erator-3227432

Very clear that everyone is wanting more to be done - all options should be explored (with creative and flexible thinking) to ensure supporters are admitted on May 22nd.

I’ll communicate more at the right moment/once I’m more informed.

Pretty confident there will be fans at hampden. Confident it will be a piddling amount. Confident there will be a 30 page thread on how it should be decided, why I'm the best fan, why can corporates pay there way, why is David tanner getting a ticket before me ect

I’m more confident than I was a few hours ago that something might happen. Would still be surprised, but it feels like there might be a chance.

Why it isn’t already planned, and being used as a test event for the Euros, is absolutely bonkers.

Thanks Kieran, really appreciate that. Good to know the club are doing everything they can. Fingers crossed we get a good outcome.

I'm guessing like me everyone goes to the game with at least one other person or a group of people, there is no chance of my group of pals all getting to go to the game if fans are allowed, that holds zero interest to me as even if we won it just wouldn't be the same

More than happy to just watch this one in the pub since we are all going to be there, I do however hope some fans that are cool with it all get the chance to go

100%. Those calling for it to be played anywhere as long as 50+ people can attend are mad. Who'd notice ? You need a material number of fans at the match to make it worthwhile. Playing it at Pittodrie in front of 2000 fans is madness. It's a nothing stadium. Would sooner have zero fans at Hampden.

Don't need or want token gestures, throwing the sense of occasion out in the process. We need a serious attempt at improving the atmosphere and giving those that attend an event to remember.

8 from 8 can sit outside from Monday I think. Would like to think it would be along the same lines as everything else and not different rules for stadia than sitting in the pub.

Does Cappielow not have a reputation for having a well-maintained, wide pitch?

Tbh if I’m not going to be there I couldn’t care less where it was. Canned crowd noise, players screeching etc.

If there’s any way possible fans can be there though, I’d want as many of my fellow hibbies to get in as possible.

And that's the out for UEFA. They can present it as a test event without losing face or creating a problem for other venues, while satisfying the need to be seen to supporting football at National level. UEFA have have had a near miss with he ESL, so now would be a good time to be flexible. I'm hopeful they'll agree to fans being admitted to Hampden.

It is a nope for me, much prefer it to be at Hampden with no fans. Even 500 fans would have little impact for me. Players may not be keen to say for fear of upsetting fans but am sure they would prefer the chance of lifting the cup at Hampden rather than Pittodrie.

Any time there’s a big game where tickets are in demand, a sizeable chunk are skimmed off and passed to all sorts.

You can win tickets to England v Scotland in Just Eat, but there will be very few tickets available for people who actually follow the national team home and away.

And if you’re a hun whose mum stays next door to someone who works for BT, you’ll probably find yourself getting a ticket for this cup final before a Hibs season ticket holder.

If it comes to pass it would be good to know how many tickets are available in the ballot once players, staff, sponsors and Edinburgh Club members (if that's what it's still called) are taken care of.

There's some genuine Hibs fans who have to do that as their only way to get tickets and be with their mates as they're not season ticket holders.

In the great who gets a ticket debates that arise from time to time I've always felt season ticket holders should get priority and because it's been touch and go for getting a ticket have bitten the bullet and gone with hospitality as a private individual, many good Hibbies do.

Definitely right about the Huns, we had a bit of a disagreement at the 2016 final with a right obnoxious guy who was ejected by a steward after the first goal.

He was sitting on the very end of the press bit right in front of us and kept hurling abuse at the guy behind, the steward said he was a guest of one of the BBC's party.

Guy was arguing with the police on the way out as well.

Think it is a pretty minimal issue in the Scottish game. It is a pretty small number of tickets that go to other clubs and sponsors for finals.

Sponsorship is an important part of funding and promoting the game though and fair enough for small numbers of tickets to be used in this way.

A fair point, and probably true.

I had ‘renewed’ my AST. I’m sure Hibs firmed up the T&Cs around the away season ticket last year about how you were committed to all games (think they’d had a lot of folk just stopping paying the previous year under Hecky).

Boris has made it 10,000 or 50% (whichever is lower), however can still apply for more. NS wouldn’t have to increase our limits, just needs a one off agreement based on safety advice. Would expect that to be what will happen.

10k for big venues like Wembley. 4k for smaller venues or 50% capacity whichever is smaller.

Hibs offered folk the chance to commit and for committing they guaranteed you a ticket for every game away from Easter Road.

Can’t go back on a commitment. Just the same as Ross keeping his word to Macey really.

We were all dedicated - we gave money for nothing. ASTs (if there was such a thing this season) gave no extra. No extra dedication required.

I’m going to think about which scenario for distributing any tickets would best suit my own situation before replying. :greengrin

:hilarious No chance. Check the wording of the AST and I bet they’ve covered it. Pay £0 get everything will definitely not be in there.

If I was the club I’d only allow it if the ASTs paid a lump sum to the value of tickets for all the away matches this season. That’s what they committed to after all and I’m sure none of them would want to back out of it.

They literally dedicated to going to every game as opposed to every home hibs game. You could say they dedicated extra.

So what? I committed to the AST and if a game becomes available we should get priority. That’s what I signed up for since it started

Why no chance? Just because you don’t agree?

I’ve just realised you guys are being serious. I thought I was going to get one of the fishing smileys thrown at me for even replying to your posts.

I have paid to watch every away game this season, if it’s on sky I watch it there, if it’s on premier I take out a subscription . If Hibs want me to pay upfront I will, but your idea is nonsense and the club treat their AST holders with respect not with the crap you spout

It’s not nonsense - you signed up to buy a ticket to every away match. You can’t bring tv costs into it - we’ve all done that.

Stump up and we’ll consider letting you win the ballot.

ASTs will stump up for their ticket for the cup final don’t worry.

Why didn’t you sign up for one of it was free and required no commitment?

Was there really an Away Season Ticket this season? I’ve seen absolutely nothing to say there was.

I’ve got an email from 29th May last year confirming that I’d been marked as renewed.

Me either. Just had a look on the website for next season and it just says this-

Away Season Tickets
Unfortunately we are unable to offer these at the minute due to Scottish Government Guidance. We will communicate any changes to this offering when we get more information.

How many Hampden debenture holders are there? Hope they don't get priority over Hibs/Saints fans.

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are all keeping safe and well.

Attached is a form for you to complete and email back to [email protected] not to me to renew your away season ticket for 20/21.

You MUST have renewed your home season ticket before sending this back to me. I will confirm all places after the deadline for applications, Thursday 4th June at 5p

I have no information regarding the remainder of this season as we need this to be confirmed by SPFL and SFA and any decision will be communicated when we have it, including any refunds due.

I look forward to having as many of you on board for another season as can but understand in the current climate if you are unable to commit at the moment.

Stay safe and thanks for support Hibernian FC at this time of uncertainty.

It will depend if they offered the Away ST to all fans and not just to renew. If it was offered to all (can't recall seeing it myself) then they would have every right to take it into consideration for any ballot. If not then it's not fair on the consumers.

Personal opinion - it will be a HOME ST ballot (if the SFA can get the agreement from UEFA and hopefully an increased attendance from Scot Gov)

Surely the Away Season Ticket was only for League games.

I was comfortably in the first few hundred renewals last year (and it was a renewal that cost money) - I also demand a ticket to reward my commitment.

Did anyone get confirmation, or did it fall down at the application stage? Looks like it was withdrawn anyway so the whole debate is a moot point. Looks like there was no such thing as a valid AST this season.

Saves a bit of arguing anyway, so we can leave it there

Nah it’s for all games - ast pay game by game and are guaranteed a ticket. There hasn’t been any this year so some are just clutching at straws - I understand why, we’re all desperate to go.

It’ll be a ballot amongst this seasons ST holders, to think it’ll be decided any other way is ridiculous. I doubt the club would open themselves up to alienating a larger majority of fans.

“They’re only holding a ballot for away season ticket holders? They can shove their ST renewal then”

The club will surely use this as an incentive to buy season tickets. Only this seasons holders to be put in the ballot

:agree: It would be seriously ill-advised to offer priority to people who didn't actually spend any money on an away season ticket this year, despite their commitment to do so, over everyone else who has spent hundreds of pounds to watch every home game on a live stream.

If fans are allowed into the final it should be a random ballot of everyone who bought a home season ticket for the 2020/21 season.

Thankfully Hibs won't do it any other way.
