Aberdeen offer to host final: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57062689

Isn’t Aberdeen’s pitch almost as small as tynecastle? Not sure I’d fancy playing on a handkerchief against a stuffy team like St J. Major games should be on grass and on full sized pitches IMHO

Given the Moray situation don’t think it’ll happen in Aberdeen.

Hearts rangers and celtic all been approached but refused. Aberdeen have offered pittodrie.

I agree but apart from mumping my gums on here I'm at a loss on how to get heard. Hopefully some fans will get some kind of campaign started which we can get behind. Even if it's just a few thousand fans

Apologies, I meant the club, not the fans.

Hibs and St Johnstone should be teaming up and publicly demanding that fans be allowed in, whether that’s by moving the game or getting dispensation from UEFA.

Would there be a open top bud parade or does restrictions stop this

No chance of that.

Can't see the Gov/Council allowing a parade or open top bus as it would draw thousands into the streets, and make the debate about a few fans at a match look daft. Nope, Hibs FC and Hibs fans will be confined to 5 days of compulsory lockdown

If nothing else it has raised the question

If we win and are unable to put on a parade then it would be good if we could have an event at ER at some point in the summer to celebrate.

Glad Hearts refused Tynecastle tbh. The size of the pitch is barely suitable for an Under 14 game never mind a national cup final. The Hibs and St Johnstone players deserve better, imagine getting to the Scottish Cup final and being told you are playing it at that tin can stadium.

Thanks for the replies just wondered as the sticky buns had quite a number of people celebrating so wasn’t sure on the rules

Illegally

***bigwheel*** · 10-05-2021 05:47 PM

It’s really poor that the SFA and clubs aren’t going all out to maximise the number of fans at the game .. st Johnstone wouldn’t take more than 10000 fans even if it was allowed..

No reason why 20000 fans couldn’t be in one the big stadiums in Scotland. It really is very disappointing they aren’t going all out to make this happen.

**TheHibernator** · 10-05-2021 05:47 PM

We win the cup am doing laps of princess street naked never mind an open top bus

**~~Robbo6-2~~** · 10-05-2021 05:53 PM

Our club should be pushing this hard, even a small amount of fans sorted by a ballot should be done.

Really pleased Aberdeen stepped up for the good of Scottish football.

Does anyone know why Sportsound are saying there’s now “some hope” of getting fans into Hampden for the game?

We've no idea what work is being done in the background and the discussions taking place...

I don't want the final at Pittodrie. Aberdeen in it for money only.

Rather play Hampden with no crowd.

Interesting BBC Scotland News sport section running a story on it.

Saying they have approached UEFA who say they haven't said Fans cannot attend, its the SFA decision

UEFA have chucked the SFA under the bus.
Said they are happy to hand the stadium over to the SFA for the 22nd May.
Popcorn time!

That's not true, the Aberdeen chairman is abit of a fud but he has consistently campaigned for fans to get back into the ground.

Same.
National cup final in that dilapidated mess, no thanks.

**hibby6270** · 10-05-2021 06:05 PM

UEFA saying it’s not their decision.
SFA saying it’s UEFA’s decision.
Sheep saying they’re happy to make the decision for everyone!!
Do Hibs and St J have any say in this soap opera?

Just another cock up day in the life of the suits at Park Gardens!! (That’s a oldies reference)

it is a dump but surely better if there are a few 000 or 000's of Hibbys at the game - got to be good for the players? unless a pumping is on the cards early doors then maybe not

**PatHead** · 10-05-2021 06:13 PM

Bet St Johnstone wish it could be played at Easter Road. They haven't lost at our ground since 2012!

***Col2*** · 10-05-2021 06:15 PM

This is ON.

SFA looking really stupid and being embarrassed on national radio.

UCL at Wembley is game changer as it’s end of May.

I now think we have a 70-80% chance of fans at Hampden - probably only 4-5k but that’s a game changer.

Both Hibs and St Johnstone said they would to stadium if fans allowed in it eg Pittodrie.

We should know more in next 48 hours I would expect.

Big question. Will it be those who renewed the earliest who gets preference for tickets 👀
