Early Hampden Kick-Off's

[FromTheCapital]

Does anyone else get annoyed with kick-off's at Hampden being at times like 12:30?
We'll definitely go to the Jinglin Geordie pub in Edinburgh but I loved going to Shettleston through in Glasgow before the game as the atmosphere was always brilliant.
But, anyway it should be another good day out & hopefully a win for the Green and White!

Very annoying.up at half 7 and out the door by 8:15 to go for my bus.

[Albanian Hibs]

I dont actually care about the time. Hibs are in the semi final of the scottish cup. I'd still be there if it started at 12.30am.

[flash]

People are only annoyed because they can't get blootered.
The one downside of being involved in semis and finals is it attracts a hell of a lot of drunken morons.

Agreed 100%

I like that time as it means I can go to the semi then go to work after, wouldn't be able to go to the semi it was at 3

You sound like a great laugh. So some folk like a bevvy before a big game? Get over yourself.


As it goes, kick-off time doesn't even matter, if people want to get tanked up and it's an early kick-off, they start drinking earlier. Simple.

I'd disagree. I think it loses some of the match build up because everyone is up early, jumps on a bus then get to the game.

Plus, if I go out on Friday ill still be up and blootered anyway!

I would guess it's slightly more annoying for those of us traveling from the Depths of England or down from Aberdeen etc, than for those of you missing out on a couple of pints!

I like it. Makes the early flight more bearable as I wont be hanging around Glasgow from 9 to 3 as has become the norm... Also means I can make an 8pm flight home saving me the money of an overnight and dinner etc. Also means I can go out with friends back in Dublin that night.... But that's just me...

[Green Fish]

Glasgow police want us there and away as early as possible.

I won't sleep much the night before so suits me to get up early away.

I like it as you're back at a better time to continue boozing.

We've got kids so its a great time for a kick off out early and back early! Get kids settled when we get back as they will be hyper! Then can relax with a celebratory drink! Well hopefully 😉

2006 semi

3pm:
Last year.
Livingston 2001, won
Celtic 2001, lost
Dundee Utd 2005, lost
Dunfermline 2007, drew
Kilmarnock 2007, won

Late:

The 50/50 record in the early kick-offs wins it.
