Its not impossible that this years Scottish Cup final could be between QotS and Raith Rovers. If that happened I wonder how many folk would be prepared to attend as neutrals in order to fill up the stadium and what could the SFA do to get you along?

If that's the final we should all run naked to the final and donate life savings to charity.
I'll only ever go to see the Hibs

I would want Queen of the South to win as I'm friends with one of their fans.
I wouldn't be interested in going to the match though.

Not even sure to go with free tickets.
Would they not have loads of part time fans to fill the seats?

I don't think anything could persuade me to go all the way to Glasgow to watch a team other than Hibs.

A wee bit disappointed with the replies so far. I kind of like to think I would support the final if I could to stop it looking bad on the telly. I bet it would be a good day out and perhaps even a good final too.

People would realise that it was two small teams playing each other from the second tier of Scottish football. It wouldn't be a surprise for people to see a small crowd at such a game, even if it was a cup final.

No chance I would travel through to Glasgow to watch a SC final that didn't involve Hibs.

Absolute no way I would pay and travel all the way up to Hampden Park to watch a Scottish Cup Final that doesn't involve Hibs.

I would remain bitter and twisted yet another team were going to win the Scottish cup while we failed to make it. That scenario would almost certainly have led to us being knocked out by one of those clubs and therefore kissing goodbye to the best opportunity in recent years to win the Scottish cup.
I would not even watch it on tv.

I'd maybe go if there was an actual neutral section. Wouldn't want to pick a side.

I can't remember the last Scottish Cup final I watched that didn't involve Hibs, and I wish I could forget the ones that did involve us as well. Rangers v Dundee in 2003ish maybe?
If I won't watch it, or the FA Cup final, on TV I wouldn't attend as a neutral either.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I went to a League Cup final in 1987 after getting free centre stand tickets from the boozer I drank in. It never involved Hibs but as Rangers were playing I couldn't be neutral so supported Aberdeen. The game was a classic with Davie Cooper lacing a free kick and the game finishing 3-3. Rangers eventually won on penalties. Even as a sort of neutral the quality of the game was enough to keep me entertained. The train back into town was interesting with every bear we met asking who we supported.
In terms of the OP I would go if I got a free ticket and would support QOTS as seeing Gordon Brown smile turns my stomach.

I'm meant to be at a wedding all day on Scottish cup final day. Have informed the Mrs that I will be missing it if Hibs make the final. Therefore, if QoTS end up playing Raith in the final, I'll go to the wedding and save being in the dog house for a couple of weeks.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't go to that game if it was being played at Easter Rd and I live 30 seconds away.
