I've just had a personal e-mail from Ron telling me I've been selected for a ticket since I'm the best fan

Same

[keep the faith]

100% where I am with this. Give them to the players families, staff and those in need. We will roar them on from the couch this time!

I won't be entering the ballot. Had already arranged to watch on TV with family. As much as I'd love to be there I'd prefer to be with family when we win rather than on my own in a stadium.

Give them to front line NHS staff who are also Hibs season ticket holders. If not more than 240 who fall into that category give the rest to players/staff families. Win win situation ☺

Would be great to see hibs.net publically endorse this idea of leaving the tickets for players family, club staff and perhaps a few special recognitions attached to the NHS and have had a particularly tough year. A classy gesture and the fans showing real togetherness on this huge day.

Level 3 Glasgow for another week. Does that mean no spectators?

Was just about to say the same. Hopefully someone will ask that question of Sturgeon!

[Peanut Shaz]

Don't think I'll be entering the ballot. Happy for players family and support staff at the club to get all available tickets. I've got a whole day with family friends planned. Would much rather be with them should we win than sitting amongst strangers.

No fans in level 3 I believe?
Solves the issue for everyone

[Moulin Yarns]

The available capacity for Euros matches is 12,000, with social distancing set at 1.5m. The Scottish FA applied to government for 2000 fans at the cup on the same operational plan.
Given Uefa building works are ongoing at Hampden, the available capacity for the final is actually between 8,000-12,000, with the realistic number a lot closer to the 8,000. Again, that's at 1.5m distancing.
But the government has insisted on two metres. According to the Scottish FA, the government only revealed this after their application was submitted on the basis of 1.5m. There is some tension between the two around this.
At 2m, the maximum number of seats falls to between 4,000 and 5,000. So a long way short of the initial 52,000.
All of this, ultimately, means that the 600 tickets secured is between 12% and 15% of the available capacity.

I think we should be grateful that we are being allowed any fans as Glasgow is in level 3

No-one did. More important questions , including peoples lives and livelihoods than going to the footie.

She did say no travel into or from Glasgow so expect oor Jason to update the world on Off the Ball's next edition

That suggestion's been made by a number of posters and I wholeheartedly agree

[660]

They should just scrap the fans idea now

[DarrenSQH]

Suggestions that as you can't travel far from outside level 3 to a level 3 area that only Glasgow based hibs and saints fans are allowed

There was a contributor on radio Scotland today, I think her name was professor Griffiths, apologies if I’m not recalling the name correctly. She said: essentially 100% of those aged 65+ and those with underlying conditions have received 2 doses of vaccine. These are statistically the high risk group. Nearly 90% of those in the statistically medium risk category have had one vaccine, with many having had two doses.

What on earth is our strategy if we still can’t open up society? Are they planning on keeping us away from football stadiums long term?

I'm struggling to see what contingency plans there might be. It's very clear that fans are banned at events being held in level 3 areas. It's drive-in only. Are they going to ask everyone to drive into the Hampden car park and watch the game on a big screen?

Ask the question on Coronavirus thread rather than on the fans at the final thread.

The government have given the go ahead for 600 fans, I doubt that will change. The question is now whether fans can travel into Glasgow from Perth and Edinburgh.

Can you still get those wee disabled cars you see round the pitch in old footage?

[flash]

Looking good for Glasgow based Hibbies!

Have thought about this a lot. I don't want a ticket as I wouldn't be able to be with my son or the other Hibbies from Alloa who I have shared so much joy and disappointment with over the years. Just give the tickets to family of the players and coaching staff and then any other staff who have contributed to Hibs success this year. I will spend the day celebrating with the usual bunch albeit just not at Hampden. Just win the bloody thing Hibs

Level 3 status means ... Stadia must be closed to spectators.

So no idea what the "contingency plans" are for getting 600 folk into Hampden. No one from L2 can travel into L3 except for emergency and those in L3 (Glasgow) should not be congregating.

Maybe they're going to allow 600 Huns (West of Scotland FC) in to celebrate, given they'll be doing that on the streets anyway

Possibly fans who live in the level 3 area, ie glasgow, can still go to the game?

[Still Smiling]

Let Hibs Community nominate Hibs fans who need a wee pick me up.

Level 3 prohibits fans. "Stadia must be closed to spectators."

Am sure the SFA/SG have Murrayfield lined up just in case the Euros have to be moved at the last minute It will all be in hand.

Well if we are choosing groups of people I'd vote for the over 70s. Folk who have been shielding for a year, isolated to say the least. But more than that, it took Hibs most of their lives to win that cup. Give them a chance to see it again.
