    Bowls may be the most tragic sport there is. It's between that and speed walking.

    Bowls isn't that bad. Certainly no worse than the over hyped Snooker.

    The good news for Hearts is that the damage their fans cause on Saturday will be paid for by Hearts, Inverness, Celtic and St Mirren, not just Hearts themselves.

    Tosh. Snooker requires miles more skill and is a sport containing many characters.

    Bowls is just pish with added pish.

    Containing many characters?

    It's a sport where people only want to see the top 16 players playing each other over and over again.

    Not too many tickets sold to to the 400 k core support

    Next door neighbor is a Hearts man through and through and told me today that theer has only been 7 k seats sold for the "Big Team" why is that the case.
    Inverness have only sold less than 2 k as well - a good percentage of the Inverness population but am mystified as to why there is such a poor take up by the Jambos .

    According to their official site they have sold over 10.5k tickets.

    The proceeds from the two semi finals is pooled and split among the four teams. Once the repair bill at ER has been paid that is

    Hibs definitely make sure they gave ALL cost repaid and let's just say for the Scottish cup damage they took a wee margin on top!! I know someone connected to the firm they use for repairs and the official bill was 'high'. Of course that will be the same amount charged to the club, of course it will :)

    Fair enough, but if Hearts fans do trash the stadium, Id rather they would split the proceeds first and then each team pay the bill relevant to their own fans. Would be the ultimate coup de grace should it finish them.

    No it's not but you are talking it! And I bet I could beat you at both........................with my left hand

    Certain conditions will apply in case you're any good at snooker.

    Why bother?

    It's not as if we'll actually ever see these stickers as they'll have a week to clean them off the seats as we're not at Easter Road until the following Sunday for the cup tie v Aberdeen.

    Shame...

    Snooker doesn't have as many characters as it used to. That's because the old cuemen had lives outside of the game. Now I see a bunch of pasty-faced wains.

    I'm thinking there'll be more permanent damage than stickers ...

    WTF agree to having them? Game should be in perth.

    It's the most dangerous sport in the world. If the number who die whilst playing is any guide!

    Not sure it'll be anything out of the ordinary.

    I'm expecting a few broken seats, well a lot of broken seats, urine soaked bathrooms and 5-1 written all over the place.

    It's nothing that a spring clean can't handle and then we send them the bill for the pleasure!

    From previous years info..... (Taken from SFA site at time)

    That's correct... The SFA pay all costs, rental etc.
    The proceeds are pooled, SFA take their cut and then the rest was split 4 ways, then "non Business as usual" costs ie vandalisim etc is deducted from the relevant teams cut. This was to prevent other teams subsidising the guilty party.
    I also remember a clause that if the council pass any game related costs to the hosting club or SFA then this is also included.

    Their hoped for windfall might yet end up a lot less than desired, surely they can't be THAT stupid?

    Then again......
