It'll be the first time in a long time we'll have gone to Hampden with next to no probability of winning. No pressure on us at all. Strangely looking forward to it

That's how I feel too, no pressure what so ever.

First time since fenlon's finals I'd say

**DH1875** · 26-09-2019 07:50 AM

So, will this be played on a Tuesday/Wednesday night?

2nd or 3rd November.

Any ideas when the tickets might go on sale, and what our allocation will be. After our last semi with Lenny's side we only half filled our allocation which i thought was quite poor so I think we will only get the West stand this time though i hope we can get more.

Likely the south stand and west stand maybe more depending on take up.

What a grim day that was. Pissing down all day. We'll probably take the same ammount if not less this time.

***Hiber-nation*** · 26-09-2019 09:16 AM

8 semi finals in 8 years isn't bad going.

***Northernhibee*** · 26-09-2019 09:18 AM

Start of November gives time to improve too. A few players back from injury.

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 26-09-2019 09:22 AM

We’ve got a hell of a lot fans who claimed they wouldn’t be back until PH was away. Will be interesting to see how many we take if he’s still here.

We took 10k last time we played Celtic in the LC semi. Good effort IMHO. Only Rangers would take more. Lucky to take 7k this time unless there’s an upturn in our form or a new manager to get the fans back on side.

2012 onwards Hampden has been like a second home. Seven semi finals, four finals and a cup. Only two seasons we haven't been there.

I would like PH replaced by the start of the next quarter but still need to back the team on the pitch as much as possible

We had an outside chance there - more so than this time anyway. IMO.

Definitely - the league games that season were even Stevens (W1D2L1)

One trophy from the 8 is dire. Although what a trophy.

Strange we took a doing that day but I actually enjoyed the day out.
Because there was no expectation to win nobody was too bothered about the result, the majority of the fans stayed till after the final whistle and were in fine voice, even outsang the celtic support

Last year semi final dates were announced two days after the quarters so we should find out soon.

**Smartie** · 26-09-2019 12:21 PM

A few of us have had a hunch that we might be a bit skinter than we'd expect to be - I wonder if this is one of the reasons our playing budget looks sparser than normal?

This result will be huge for the club financially - we'll get a quarter share of the pooled gate receipts for the two games and (presumable) some TV money. That's a decent wedge of cash, a wedge of cash we were picking up fairly frequently for a while there but not last season.

It would be nice to think it might go towards a defensive midfielder or another striking option but let's face it, it'll get us a bit of a footballing barn in our quest to win a badge from Petrie.

2018 was a drunk year for me.

However when we played them they’d not lost a domestic game in well over a year

How is 10k at a sem-final a good effort? We often take well over 15k to semi-finals.
