Hibs fans at the Scottish Cup Final

[SHODAN]

I'd take 50 fans at Central Park in Cowdenbeath than Hampden with none.

he’s normally on to defend the referees or confirm the process and explain why you can’t make any changes in Scottish football due to the “members organisation”.

Yuup, members organisation, until the members want something different and then the beaks put their foot down.

Presumably you won't be putting your name forward for a ballot then if it's at Pittodrie? 😀

I wouldn't.

Sounds pretty rubbish and would make the TV spectacle worse too.

Assuming we're in level 2 8 people from 8 households can meet outdoors and with outdoor events (which a parade would probably be classed as) a maximum of 500 people can attend although this could be increased by the government.

They should use it as a test event for the Euros, 10,000 in total

Totally agree. That would be awful, likewise Tynie.

Snap.

Even if I wasn't one of the 50, 500 or 5000 I'd still be delighted for those who did make it.

I'm usually quite big on the way Scottish football presents itself and would like to see us do more to make the 'product' look good on TV. In this instance though playing the game with some fans present in whatever venue is more important than the spectacle of playing it at Hampden.

Away season ticket holders should get priority over season ticket holder part timers tbh

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

The SCF is the pinnacle. It needs to be played on our best pitches.

The only stadiums I'd be comfortable with it being moved to facilitate fans is celtic Park, ibrox, murrayfield or easter road.

I don't want it played on a tattie field or narrow pitch

[Greenbeard]

No way. We want the big pitch at Hampden fans or no fans.

The big pitch at Hampden is the same size as the one we haven’t done too well on this season

We could do with Kieran letting us know if there are any discussions going on. Doesn't need to give us any details, just knowing the club are trying to sort something out would be enough for now.

[Glory Lurker]

Hampden, fans or not.

[04Sauzee]

🏟 Hibs fans could yet be at the Scottish Cup final with the Scottish FA and UEFA set to hold talks over allowing supporters inside Hampden on May 22 - and there’s another option on the table if negotiations don’t work out

Fair shout.

Discussions still ongoing with SFA - club is aware of all of our views and strongly pushing the issue for fans (echoes a lot of what Jack Ross said to the press on Friday) - https://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...erator-3227432

Very clear that everyone is wanting more to be done - all options should be explored (with creative and flexible thinking) to ensure supporters are admitted on May 22nd.

I’ll communicate more at the right moment/once I’m more informed.

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)

Park Gardens!! I worked just above them in park terrace. 😁

Story loses all credibility quoting a hibs.net poll....

Hopefully find out in the next day or two then 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[Stairway 2 7]

Pretty confident there will be fans at hampden. Confident it will be a piddling amount. Confident there will be a 30 page thread on how it should be decided, why I'm the best fan, why can corporates pay there way, why is David tanner getting a ticket before me ect

[B.H.F.C]

I’m more confident than I was a few hours ago that something might happen. Would still be surprised, but it feels like there might be a chance.

Why it isn’t already planned, and being used as a test event for the Euros, is absolutely bonkers.

Thanks Kieran, really appreciate that. Good to know the club are doing everything they can. Fingers crossed we get a good outcome.

[Mon Dieu4]

I'm guessing like me everyone goes to the game with at least one other person or a group of people, there is no chance of my group of pals all getting to go to the game if fans are allowed, that holds zero interest to me as even if we won it just wouldn't be the same

More than happy to just watch this one in the pub since we are all going to be there, I do however hope some fans that are cool with it all get the chance to go

100%. Those calling for it to be played anywhere as long as 50+ people can attend are mad. Who'd notice ? You need a material number of fans at the match to make it worthwhile. Playing it at Pittodrie in front of 2000 fans is madness. It's a nothing stadium. Would sooner have zero fans at Hampden.

Don't need or want token gestures, throwing the sense of occasion out in the process. We need a serious attempt at improving the atmosphere and giving those that attend an event to remember.

Get the corporate f*****s who will no doubt still manage to blag tickets in their droves tae f*** and just have a few people there who actually care, undiluted.

8 from 8 can sit outside from Monday I think. Would like to think it would be along the same lines as everything else and not different rules for stadia than sitting in the pub.

Does Cappielow not have a reputation for having a well-maintained, wide pitch?

Tbh if I’m not going to be there I couldn’t care less where it was. Canned crowd noise, players screeching etc.

If there’s any way possible fans can be there though, I’d want as many of my fellow hibbies to get in as possible.

Who are the corporate f*****s people talk about? Is it even a thing?

Is it the sponsors? Always wondered who “corporate” are.

Agree, just said similar on the other thread. Would love to get back to football but for a cup final what you say about the group is spot on.

And that's the out for UEFA. They can present it as a test event without losing face or creating a problem for other venues, while satisfying the need to be seen to supporting football at National level. UEFA have have had a near miss with he ESL, so now would be a good time to be flexible. I'm hopeful they'll agree to fans being admitted to Hampden.

[Callum_62]

I think they should play it on the 23rd instead

An extra day to prepare and coincidentally a day im not on a boat all day fishing for salmon

It is a nope for me, much prefer it to be at Hampden with no fans. Even 500 fans would have little impact for me. Players may not be keen to say for fear of upsetting fans but am sure they would prefer the chance of lifting the cup at Hampden rather than Pittodrie.
