    Some Killie and Ayr Utd fans think they are capable of getting 25,000-30,000 fans to attend the match.

    Because the Ayr and Killie fans would both have to get the train past Hampden to come to Easter Road. Makes sense

    Why make 20,000 fans travel 50 miles midweek when there is no need ?

    Fir Park would make the most sense to me. Not far to go, and it'd be better to have a (presumably) sold-out smaller ground than folk rattling around at Hampden.

    From what I'm led to believe, buses for ayr fans are having to be hired from Glasgow as all the hire buses In Ayrshire (of which there are many) have already been hired out to them.

    From what i've heard this sounds like a realistic figure.

    Great news and I've got no reason to suspect that they can't attract between 25K-30K to Hampden. I hope Ayr United win because they will have more chance of winning a League Cup Final than Killie whose record in LC finals is abysmal to say the least. Mind you there's nothing they could have done in the last one they appeared in as their opponents were far too superior on the day.

    As far as I was led to believe it is the players themselves that have a lot to say about where they play and if I was a player I would want to play at Hampden. Not many chances for most players to play at the National stadium in a National final or semi. Also as a supporter I would rather play there than, for example, some pink bus shelter or some dump like Murderwell's stadium.

    Simple answer is both clubs were consulted and both said they wanted the game to take place at Hampden. As stated it might be the only possibility of some players ever playing at the national stadium.

    Yep, whilst it's also located well for the sides.
    The ground doesn't need to be full to justify playing there.
    If it was the case, Hibs would need to play elsewhere than ER every week!

    If this game is attracting near 30000 Ayr and Killie must have as many 'Hampden supporters' as Hibs. Where are the other 20000 hiding every week?

    Quite a few actually. For various reasons we had a few less than Hearts but it has been a bit overplayed, primarily by Yams in the time since.

    Still, I hope after Janaury it will all have been worth it.

    A guy I know is going to the game with six family members...three have never been to a game, couple haven't been to a game in fiveish years and one only attends every so often. And then there will be range of people who attend every so often/have stopped going cos they can't justify the price/go to big games etc. Would be the same with any clubs, no?

    Semi Final is a 1pm KO at Hampden. Rangers v Hibs will I presume be a 3pm KO. With the new M74 extension you could get to Ibrox in around 15 mins or so if your lucky

    Uberfan alert ;)
    I'll diPlomatically state I was in that number

    Was fair gutted with the turnout big
    Psychological blow to the yams before a ball was kicked.

    I hope we never experience that again :....(

    And I heard the Rolling Stones recently got a bigger crowd at their gig than the Krankies.
