An utter travesty, why the hell have Hearts agreed to this? We are simply a member club we have to accept the decision, how moronic or not - I am more surprised police Scotland have sanctioned this.

jambodavie Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hard on the heels of the fiasco last year when we got a game less on our season tickets. Not Hearts fault but the one constant in everything in Scottish football is that fans get absolutely shafted time and time and time again. Shameful , absolutely shameful.

JamboGraham Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 4 minutes ago, Hackney Hearts said: This could go to extra-time and penalties - could they not at least have made it 6pm or 6:30? I worked some numbers on this earlier and quickly stopped as the logistics of both games going to penalties as well as requirements for teams to arrive 90 mins before, plus transport in and out crossing over made me quickly abandon this as a fairly silly idea and not really a solution...let’s be honest here, not one set of supporters will be pleased with this...even in your home city 1200 and 1945 on a Sunday is about as bad as it gets...

Debut 4 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 They moved the semi finals from midweek to weekend to help raise the flagging appeal of the League Cup. They are meant to be a showpiece game, sort of, and they go and do this. There’ll be about 8000 JTs now, probably double if it was at a sensible time. It almost becomes like a midweek game because of the ko time and folk have work on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaap's Sigh Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I would love it if Hearts and Aberdeen both boycotted the game and handed it to the old firm. They’re trying to do their best to stop both sets of fans from attending. Sheep fans will have to try and make their way down from Aberdeen at about 0730 to get to Hampden on time. Our fans will be ****ed getting back home if the game goes to extra time and pens. Hampden is a ***** to get to on public transport. Train back to central then a walk to queen street to get a train back east. ****ing scandalous. They’re trying their best to get an old firm final.

Rudy T Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 So first game goes extra time and pens and they leave Hampden at say 3 pm they'll all get to the city center around 345pm.... just in time for the Hearts and Celtic fans starting their day out in Glasgow. This will be utter carnage...****ing idiots. Unless scotrail are planning extra trains after 12 anything beyond the 90 for us and there'll be 1000s of Hearts and Celtic fans rushing into the city centre for trains which means shared transport back from hampden and glasgow the SPFL are utter arseholes.
