Diego10 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It'd be good if it was on TV but it's not a right and actual attending supporters should always be the priority. A 5:30 kick off would be rubbish for most of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're meaning 5.30am, cos pm would mean pulling the plug about half way through extra time if it isn't settled over the 90 minutes, which would make it a daft idea!!!

Panagiotis Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Obviously this is a non-starter for many reasons but what hasn't been mentioned is that if the game went to penalties they would be starting right about the same time as the CL games would be. Imagine the seethe if the picture cut out just as the first penalty was about to be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm sure attending fans would prefer a 10pm kick off to a 5:30pm kick off but either way it'll go ahead at 7:45pm. I'd love a delayed "as live" on Hearts world from 9:45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Interesting debate this one. The people going to the game clearly want to have time to get to the game and arrive on time. Of course it is not going to happen anyway, change kick off, but are the 20,000 in the minority? Surely there would be at least fivefold of a TV audience. For Hearts supporters, part of that fivefold would be very many people who saved the club. Before I get Mullered, let me make it clear, had I been able to go to the match, I would be livid with a change in time. Devils Advocate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This. I'm going anyway but what can UEFA do? Ban us? In Scotland its like we're banned anyway.

combo74 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 So we want to prioritise television over people who go to the game (again)? Clearly it is too late in the day to change the date/time as that would clearly be unfair on those who have bought tickets, however the problem is there are lot of of fans who want/would go to the game, but can't because there aren't enough tickets. Many of these fans are season ticket holders, regular attenders and FOH members, who for one reason or another didn't have enough loyalty points. Yet, because of some archaic, ridiculous rule, set down by a moneygrabbing organisation these fans will be unable to watch their team in one of the biggest games of the season.

David McCaig Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It could go to extra time and pens, would need to be earlier. Or have an intermission until 10pm before starting extra time. For me the most frustrating thing is that I actually had a ticket, but as my son and daughter are up from Sheffield for half term, I'm unable to go... Although I do now have a friend who owes me a favour!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab, intermission is the way to go... 2 and a half hours in the pub to calm everyone's nerves before ET and penalties. Admittedly, this would probably lead to the match being remembered for the world's most violent drink induced riot rather than the actual result. In fact those at the ground would have less recollection of the match than those desperately hoping for a live stream!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Lack of gratitude being shown to the ex pats funding our club monthly let alone 10000 season ticket holders who attend less fashionable matches or even other cup matches such as Forfar or Annan. I'm alright Jack attitude is a bit embarrassing given the collaborative efforts of far more than those who have the points. I've said that is still the best system but this is an entirely different issue. This isn't about going to the game it's access to the game from afar.
