Any word yet about if / where this will be on? Surely it will be.
Not yet no
Hope for an announcement today after most of the tickets are sold.
Guess Hibs could make a killing by selling on PPV
Don't think the 5:45 kick off is doing us any favours.
Can't see bbc Scotland being that interested unfortunately
I hope that's what happensQuote:

It'll definitely be on TV. Apparently it's between TNT and BBC.
Absolutely no chance this will be PPV
Timing wise is poor and it's a fixture where the general perception is that it will be a non event. General chat where I live with fans of Rangers Celtic, St.Mirren and Morton fans is that we will be gubbed and it will be embarrassing. Whereas all think Hearts have a chance to carry the flag for scotland. The guys I know and work with would like to see that tie more.Quote:

There’s no chance BBC Scotland could afford it, if it’s picked up BBC itwill be uk wideQuote:

Most of the midland clubs would be wanting a Hibs win. Quite a few in England would also find it funny so would be cheering us on.Quote:

The funny one is Wolves Villa who the media would have you believe is a big rivalry for viewing figures but no-one really cares about that from either side.Quote:

Yeah I guess with so many teams around Birmingham there's a bit of a web of rivalries. Who is Wolves' number one rival? Blues? I remember being in West Bromwich years ago and the graffiti suggested they were none too keen on Wolves, but I don't know how much it goes the other way.Quote:

The Rivalry isn't what it was West Brom probably dislike villa a bit more than Vice Versa. Villa and Blues generally hate each other and I'd say its the most fierce rivalry in England for 2 teams in the same city.Quote:
