Not that there should really need to be there has been very, very little said about it. There’s probably a whole lot of folk don’t even realise it’s on. And the game itself seems a bit half arsed with not that many players involved.
Really hope there is a late push in sales. Won’t be nice if SDG walks out with on a couple of thousand in attendance.
I’m still swithering on it, when it was announced I thought it would be great thing to take my boy too as he loves Man U but there line up is scraping the barrel some what, I think there could have been better interest having his testimonial during the summer break but of a glamour friendly instead of squeezing it in the international break

Can't help but always being really impressed listening to Darren Fletcher.
I know the ticket office is open before regular home games.
Will it be open on Sunday before the Testimonial to purchase tickets for the game ?
I ask because a relative has decided at last minute to go with his son and asked me.
cheers

I'm banging on about it now, but I just want us to look good and grateful as a support. Fletcher's talking about a great turnout and excitement about the game - just a bit sad that it's going to look underwhelming, or suggest that we're not appreciative.Quote:

Just had a look at the squads and I’m really looking forward to it. And a chance to thank SDG for that moment. :thumbsup:
Really disappointing sales with just 4 days until the match. I thought this would have went down well with David giving us the best moment in our lifetime as a Hibs fan and for what he’s done for the club in his 10 years.
Also very reasonable ticket pricing at just £10 and the fact it’s a game specially for the occasion, unlike Hanlon and Stevensons that were both friendlys for the first team. As Fletcher said it’s not easy getting players available to come take part but the Hibs team is pretty good and a few good United players too.
Fingers crossed there’s a big jump is sales over the next few days for a guy who deserves it.
I know he has been here 9 yearsQuote:

That Hibs squad alone is worth the tenner.Quote:

Bump
4000 sold
4001 as just bought mine. Come on folks, get along and see some of those 2016 heroes 🇳🇬
If you are able to, you should really go. How can we get approx 200k on the streets for the parade but can barely fill a stand for the man who won the cup? Disappointing uptake so far but I expect a good few more sales between now and Sunday, walk ups etc.
If anyone deserves a testimonial its Davie Gray.

Looking forward to seeing what both teams can produce but especially looking forward to seeing SDG , big Conrad , Daz , Marv , Fyvie and Keatings all who played there part in the Scottish Cup run.
,
You could say the same for not selling out the stadium every week, with the estimated 200000 that lined the streets.Quote:
