Tuning into sportsound on way home home today, it was mentioned that Motherwell had completely closed the stand behind the goal for visitors, and that the St Johnstone fans were housed in a wing of the main stand.
Crowds are down for obvious reasons, but hopefully there will be sufficient interest from travelling Hibby`s to avoid the humiliation of a main stand job.
Can`t say I`m overcome with Cup Fever at the moment, but will be a welcome break from League duty.

I would imagine that the Main Stand at Fir Park would be an excellent place from which to watch this team.
You can't see the pitch from about 33% if the seats.

for managing to run a bus. Must be increasingly difficult to get the numbers to continue providing such services.
Likewise, will be there. Takes about 10 minutes longer to get to Fir Park than it does Easter Road from Peebles, and the route home is via that rarity in the West of Scotland, a decent chipper in Carluke to either toast the victory with or for consolation!

Would be interesting to know in advance which stand will be open for Hibs fans as I must admit the idea of driving a 400 mile round to see bugger all of the game isn't very appealing. Then again, it's probably a good thing at the minute!

Nae chance they'll stick us in the main stand. Our support is that unpredictable. Regarding the top tier of Fir Park the only part of the pitch you can't see if the goal line nearest that monster of a stand, you can see it no bother though when you stand at 'moments of excitement'.
Way things are going you could get away with closing both ends at Easter Road!

WE're like 'Medicins Sans Frontieres' - we go to disaster spots and provide comfort, consolation and healing to troubled souls.
Everyone's happy to see Hibs arrive.

Provided I can get away from work, which should be no problem, I will be going through. Some better defending and a little bit more focus going forward and fingers crossed we can get a positive result from the game....as long as it is not another high scoring affair I will be happy!

Meeting up with Skye Hibs and looking forward to the game.
Could this be the game where we turn our season round and start on a winning run?

Give me a 6-6 any day over this stuff we have now. We rightly got ripped for throwing that away but we went to the home of a close rival for Europe and scored six goals during a period we were struggling for form and confidence.

I feel almost embarrassed to say I'm thinking of going. Perhaps we could start a riot/pitch invasion, to get us banned from away grounds?

Motherwell will be delighted - you can just imagine McCall - ''7 goals lost in our last 2 league games, none scored, we desperately need to get back on track - who's next at Fir Park? - ya dancer its the Hibees''

Thankfully I can't get the afternoon off work as there was a very real danger that I was going to the game.

Bloody part-timers, can't be arsed with those so-called fans who won't do a round trip of 350 miles to see their team just now.

Anyone who doesnt go tonight, regardless of parlous finances, childcare commitments or lack of limbs, isnt a Real Fan. FACT.
Hibs fans having an amputation today, or any of you who've died recently may be exempt from criticism but still; these people should really try a bit harder to get themselves down to Fir Park for a bit of Calderwood Flair.

Since moving to Glasgow I haven't been to many games, I would have went to this but I don't want to waste my time and money midweek on this tie, it will be devoid of atmosphere and from what I have seen from hibs recently it will be devoid from football.
Sadly I have tickets to the Rangers, Celtc and St Mirren games all through here in October so if I'm dead by november you will all be aware of why I took my own life.

Yeop heading through as Motherwell is quite handy. Surely GOC and Sparky will start. Would probably expect us to be out fought by a Well team who have done well in cup ties since McCall went there.
Would bring Murray in at left back if fit or into left central defence and Hanlon left back.
