If Hampden not able to do it due to UEFA taking over the stadium Murrayfield is the sensible alternative especially to allow as many fans as possible. There is plenty of room in the grounds of Murrayfield for fans to socially distance. No Brainer.
Don't think there are any Rugby fixtures.
Imagine fans walking back into town Via Gorgie after winning it.

Uefa have said its fine, the champs league will be a week later in Wembley or Lisbon, both being used for euros

4000 indoors with no distancing for the brit awards tonight, fa cup final a test event too, pity our final not

I think the biggest issue against holding it at Wembley is the foreign press and the need for them to quarantine if they're coming from certain countries, there was a request to by pass this turned down I believe. Heard it on the radio in the background so not 100% on this. I'm assuming Portugal has allowed free movement?
Obviously we don't have that issue for the domestic Cup final so the precedence of UEFA allowing the game and crowd is still pertinent

Yes that's right the problem is with press and uefa staff not wanting to quarantine or test. Portugal and all of Europe has looser restrictions than uk

That's exactly his point.

Someone said winning it not at hampden would cheapen it.

He's pointed out hearts fans never seemed worried about 1998.

Didnt the poster say anywhere else bar either of the arse cheeks

Assume that meant either of the OF grounds

That's where Hearts won it

Thanks

SFA have got to be all over this.
Get a request in for 15k and have all ST holders that want to go at the match.
I doubt we'd get that number or the split in our favour but if the game is truly about the fans then the administrators should be working on their behalf and a true reward would be all those who have paid out for no games so far getting this opportunity.

All cup finals are a 50/50 split, so Saints would get the same number as Hibs

I get the concerns about Pittodrie's pitch but I find the argument about cheapening the tournament because the empty stadium isn't big enough baffling tbh.

its a ***** hole!

Only if the finalists want it Billy.

For example Ross County never asked for 50% against us nor did Gretna ask for 50% against them.

I would imagine SJ could well shift 50% of say 5000 though

I do appreciate that and can see it as the likeliest outcome.
These are different circumstances and just a suggestion really. It will be a bit of a downer that we would possibly have half our ST holders unable to attend while StJ fans might get 4 per ST?
Always in favour of the 50/50 split any other time

Rubbish. I’ve never heard a single yam worry about their 1998 cup win not being at Hampden. Get fans in the ground.

They won it at Celtic Park.

Ha ha
Much as I’d hate to say it, they are going for history, and you’d have thought everyone with Perth connections would want to go

It's been mentioned that if Edinburgh Rugby progress in a tournament nobody has heard of then there is a fixture.

Wembley is not being used. It's looking like the CL final will be in Portugal.

Problem with Wembley seems to be UK Covid restrictions placed on those coming from overseas. That's not an issue for the Scottish Cup Final.

IMO the SFA are just keeping quiet, knowing we're close to the point where time has run out to print tickets, agree protocols etc. The "problem" disappears when we run out of time.

There isn’t, they have 5 group games in said tournament, their next is this Saturday, the one after that isn’t until the 29th and hasn’t been confirmed who it’s against or where it will be yet.

SFA have asked UEFA to allow fans into Hampden for the final. Decision from UEFA 'in due course'

At least they’ve now asked the question! Not a clue why it wasn’t done sooner but here we are.

The only people that will get in will be corporate and dignitaries, we wont get anywhere near it

Has that been reported somewhere? Apologies not seen it.

Saw a tweet from the reporter Kheredine Idessane, usually pretty reliable.

Please let this happen would be great even if I’m not present myself would love to see as many hibbys as possible at Hampden to cheer the team on ggtth

[gbhibby]

So it's in UEFAs hands and we still await the answer from the SRU. I would prefer Murrayfield. Wonder if we will hear something by the end of today.

[Spike Mandela]

All too much of a rush job for me. See the season out, as it has been played throughout, with an emty stadium and all covid protocols in place.. Look at getting people in for next season.

The SFA, and Hibs for that matter, have made a hash of ticketing arrangements in the past with months of preparation available to them, I imagine trying to sort this in 11 days or less would be a shambles.

Surely it’s better to try though?

Each to their own but I don’t get your logic at all. It’s a cup final and we’ve just had over a year without getting to go to games, of course we should try to get people in if we’re allowed.

Might be difficult to organise in a short space of time but nobody is asking you to do it. There’s people employed to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible, let them worry about the practicalities of it all.

Nothing is decided at the minute and dialogue is still progressing with all parties - decision later this week from SFA likely - as per above, wheels now moving (should’ve been weeks ago).
The ambition from the club is still as many fans as possible at Hampden for the final. Club will communicate with fans soon.
One thing I can say with certainty is it won’t be Murrayfield, Ibrox, Parkhead or Tynecastle. Hampden at the moment does have sufficient works outside and inside going on at the moment. As I know more, I’ll tap in.
