richiehmfc Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 4 hours ago, GorgieRules22 said: Just having a look and if the games cancelled you could pretty much go from taken almost 5000 through to almost half of that. You can get a train there ok on the Tuesday but there's only trains with two changes on the way back that almost takes three hours. Let's hope they can get it on or there will be big numbers can't go. We took about 9000 through on a Tuesday night to motherwell for a league cup semi final about 7 years ago, it didn't seem to be an issue for travel It being midweek would affect some people but not 2500..... maybe a couple of hundred less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mention Tuesday but no I don’t - we don’t kick off at 7pm on a Tuesday night when we play there in the league so I expect it will be the same in the cup - might get moved slightly for tv though. so you don't really expect the fans to be catered for then Or just car drivers perhaps Re live tv I do think there is a chance of a different kick off time if they are able to show game live on Tuesday No extra time to mess things too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our fans can make it to a midweek league match then presumably they can make it to a midweek cup match when the same bus and train times will apply.

Stuart G Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 With the ticket office being closed since lunch time yesterday with staff being sent home and closed again today, will there not be an issue with tickets being posted out for those who bought from the last batch of 1300 which only went on sale on Wednesday morning? There are currently no mail vans getting through for collections either so could this not cause a postponement? I have my ticket but a lot of punters won't have and not likely to have their ticket by Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Games last night were cancelled more due to travel advice rather than pitches. New set up now with the red warning. 20 football specials should do it.

CJGJ Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Plenty of tickets left for the home side...and they will have a cash gate in operation as well on the day 'Motherwell are just one game away from yet another trip to Hampden Park this season and a place in the last four of the competition. Having reached one cup final this season, your support could help push us a step closer towards another as we strive for new cup heroes. Tickets can be purchased in advance and, if you’re a season ticket holder, your seat has been reserved for you to purchase. Just pop by the Fir Park ticket office to secure yours. Please note the ticket office is closed on Thursday due to the adverse weather conditions. Cash gates will also be in operation but we encourage all fans to try and buy in advance to minimise delays on the day. Hearts supporters should contact their club for ticket information. Kick off at Fir Park on Sunday is at 2.15pm.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just saw a piece on SSN. As both OF games are live on Sky this weekend. Celtic Park. Working furiously to get the game on. Clearing snow from all around the stadium determined to get the game on. Ibrox, not a thing. No one clearing snow. The place looked close. No cameras at Fir Park as that is the BBC gig.

Jambos_1874 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm glad that they're allegedly going to decide tomorrow; it will at least give people clarity and avoid messing people around, especially those who have to travel from further afield (like Hamilton :)). Even if conditions are to improve they're still going to be pretty bad and there's no sense in dragging us through there in poor, and potentially dangerous, conditions.
