Each 'group' could be safely bussed in and out and covid tested too. Adding at least some kind of atmosphere to the final. Of course this would mean vocal auditions for every lucky ticket holder. :singing::hilarious
Good point, he was there yesterday, any chance of getting supporters in?Quote:

At my reckoning if they let all ST holders in for both teams, Hampden would be at a third capacity. Surely do-able?Quote:

How do you know thisQuote:

Maybe a coordinated campaign with supporters of the participating clubs contacting their local MSP asking them to put pressure on the govt would be worth a shot.
Plenty of hibbys as well, East Lothian for example, Iain Gray passed on to Paul McLennan, both Hibs fans. It’s not even down to the government though, if the SFA don’t even ask then what do we expect the government to do? The SFA have basically taken a hardline and said ‘UEFA have the ground so no fans’ - without any context behind it and no answers as to why England can have fans after this date at the centre piece stadium of the championships.Quote:

I don't have much hope for them sorting fans for a game in 2 weeks.
It’s a combination of saving money, laziness, poor leadership, being conservative and lack of care for the customers just to name a few.
Don't give a **** as long as we win. Resigned to missing it anyway.
I received an e-mail offering this literally minutes after the FT whistle yesterday. Possibly the slickest marketing I’ve ever seen from Hibs!Quote:

Would be good if he could mobilise or front up some sort of fan campaign to have fans there. No matter how few, or who they are...just be good to have some fans in attendance.
Even if it’s 5000 each, the club could provide all details of who the lucky ones are.
The club could organise buses (fans would pay) and have seating plans, with all details of who sat where and for how long.
Fans from the same household could travel by car and notify the club.
Lateral flow tests could be taken 24 hours before the game, and 24 hours after.
There would be a detailed seating plan of whichever stadium the game was held in. Equal amount of fans from each side.
Ibrox would be the logical choice if Hampden is out of bounds. No idea why they don’t pitch it to UEFA as a trail run for entry and exit procedures etc.
There’ll be some token efforts this week about getting some fans in. It’s too late though. I get the clubs couldn’t be talking about it publicly before they’d actually reached the final. SFA are an absolute disgrace for not pushing this.
If either of the Ugly Sisters were in the final you could guarantee the SFA would be jumping into gear and if they didn't, the clubs and media would be screaming.Quote:

26% of capacity
It’s gonna be frustrating as hell watching fans down the road getting in to games over the next couple of weeks whilst we sit doing nothing, and showing no appetite to do anything, about getting fans in to the biggest game of the season in Scotland.Quote:

Agreed. Every right to be there as a club employee.Quote:
