Semi Final TV coverage

**Greenbeard** · 26-04-2021 09:58 AM

Anyone know, is it one on Premier and one on BBC?
If so and Premier have first option, it is bound to be us.

Both on premier but only one on BBC. We’ll likely be the one exclusive to premier

**Back Lounge** · 26-04-2021 10:07 AM

According to Premier's listings - Sat 3.30 - 6.30 and Sun 1.45 - 4.45.

Am I right in saying the BBC slot is usually the Saturday? So if we are exclusive to Premier then we will be playing the Sunday?

Yes that is right so we’ll likely be the Sunday for a change.

Might they try and share the games around again? Aberdeen were last round, we were this round, all of our fans will already have signed up so will they try and target the other game to try and get their fans to sign up too and maximise their revenues.

More Hibs fans will sign up for a semi final that say St Johnstone fans would...

Aberdeen aren't in it and we probably have more fans than St Johnstone, St Mirren and Kilmarnock combined. We will 99.9% be the exclusive game.

But how many of our fans have already signed up for the Motherwell game? If the majority, then they aren’t going to get any new sign ups for the semi.

So which pubs on the east side will be getting in an outdoor jumbo screen?
Or it's non-alcoholic beverages indoors (pre-booked), is that right?

You'll only be able to consume alcohol outdoors when the semi is played.

Would prefer the Saturday, as we’re at Pittodrie the following Wednesday

Beat St Johnstone on Saturday and we can rest players against Aberdeen for the final

Smiley or not that's exactly it, if we can beat St Johnstone and make the final then absolutely rest the likes of Boyle, Doig, Newell, Hanlon and whoever else we need to against Aberdeen, there is absolutely no chance of them making up what would be a goal difference of at least 11 in two games and it wouldn't hurt Stevenson, Hallberg, McGregor and Wright to get a competitive run out in the days before the final. In fact put as many vital players as we can on the bench for the Celtic game as well if it comes to it. If it wasn't for the fact that they have a decent chance of catching Livvi for 5th I wouldn't have been surprised to see St Johnstone rest players against us on Saturday.

Looking at schedule on premier sports. 4pm Saturday or 2.15pm Sunday . So might be the Sat as I can’t see BBC being 4pm on the sat

I could be wrong but im sure the Premier Sports 'exclusive' game is usually the Sunday. I'd imagine the BBC game will be on BBC Scotland anyways rather than One or Two so 4pm on the Saturday would work.

***Danderhall Hibs*** · 27-04-2021 07:39 AM

It’ll depend on the Sky or BT schedule for EPL. I think they usually try and not clash - that’s why there’s been a Sunday 6.30 ko the last couple of times?

**Leitherhibs** · 27-04-2021 07:43 AM

I'd be very surprised if we're a 4pm kick off on the sat, the bigger game I would imagine will be moved to Sunday, less competition on the tv schedule at that time..

Man City Chelsea at tea time on the Saturday.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised are you that we are the Saturday game ;)
