All roads lead to Gorgie Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Should have played it at Livingston. Spot on. Easy for both sets of fans and a lot of Jambos in West Lothian would probably come along too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I know the crowd wont really affect the traffic but with it being a wee crowd will it be better to park the asda side of the stadium. Never actually driven to Hampden before so I'm a bit stumped. I did park the town side of Hampden when I was at some concert (band will remain unnamed to keep reputation intact) but it was miles away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The 1993 win is the one I remember most fondly. We were at 3 of the ties: 2-1 v. Killie, 6-0 at Ayr (4-0 up after 10 mins.) and, in the final, 3-1 at Rangers. We also missed a penalty in that final. Huge Hearts support in Ayr and at the Ibrox final regardless of midweek ko's. Still believe a coin toss for home advantage, as it was then, makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually played that same Montrose youth team later the same year and drew 1 1 with my amateur team. They were shit but the changing rooms of a very high standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drobbo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 We should all be making an effort to get there and support the youngsters. Great night out. Really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Even if this game was played on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at Hampden or where've I think folk would still moan for whatever reason. If you can go then go. If you can't then that's fine. Regardless of where the final is or should be played we should try and take a decent support for the young lads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macg63 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 it's all about giving young player's the chance to play at the national stadium in a big match at that level, the player's would rather it be at Hampden than Livingston, the fans just think of themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Don't think many Hearts fans would moan if it was being played at Livingston TBH. I agree. Its good the lads get to run out at Hampden but this will limit the numbers travelling through for it. Hampden for me is much more convenient however somewhere in the middle would have been better for numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmiyaHearts Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'll be there. Gutted the SFA have stopped doing free booze for the comps after the matches. Found out at the Utd v Hibs semi, only reason I went was for the booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurejambo1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'll be there plus 4 all cheering on the young jambos, Hampden not ideal on a Wed night but should be plenty parking available round about the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Very happy this is at Hampden though understand where people are coming from First time for a really small crowd I suspect it could beat the smallest crowd I've witnessed HMFC play in front of at Hampden, which was the League Cup tie against Queens Park in August 2005. There was about 2,400 at that game and I'd think this game could attract a bigger crowd than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupar Jambo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wonder what the crowd and our numbers will be for this, anyone going through to support the u20s in the youth cup final??

SUTOL Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Coming down from town so down the high street I'd just park as close by on the local streets. Or the car-park but that might be busy and there might be a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
