JamboGraham Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 This is what Brendan Rodgers had to say about Hampden last year... “If you’re talking access, comfort, the view of the game, there are many things about Hampden that are not good.” “It’s not ideal and I don’t know the real story behind the investment and how it was reformed. You always think about the supporters and I hear enough people saying it’s not very good. I’m the lucky one really that gets to stand at the side of the pitch. I always wonder about how much the people behind the goal really see.” “I know Murrayfield which looks a proper, well thought-out stadium” Celtic had a chance last week to comment on the experience of fans but chose instead to make a joke at the expense of another club. Given that the Celtic manager believes Murrayfield is better for the fans and Celtic made no comment in support of difficulties facing fans last week then this latest request can only be based on a sense of sporting advantage. Aberdeen and Hearts were not fighting for sporting advantage, it was about the experience for fans primarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic will want to play at Murrayfield about as much as we wanted to play at Hampden so of course they’re going to chance their arm. We had no complaints about playing at Hampden. The complaint was about playing at Hampden on a Sunday night with a 7.45 KO. Meaning that a large portion of our support would be unable to attend due to the problems obtaining public transport home. There was also the well documented safety issues which the Police Federation rather forcibly pointed out. If Hampden with a daytime KO turns out to be the best decision then so be it. You either haven't been paying attention to what's been going on or you are being deliberately contrary imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is having a sensible kick off time to enable us to have a good backing and give kids, the fans of tomorrow, the chance to be at a semi final.

I don’t think he (Lawell) is...the debate was never about venue, it was date (two on one day) and kick off time. If a solution could be found for a date and time at Hampden then our club has no solid argument other than just the age old grumble about having to go to Glasgow in general. A suitably sized, accessible stadium with a reasonable kick off time does not require a better option. Only this afternoon a Celtic player spoke at length about travel being part of the fan experience, clearly his board do not agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) So far, the principal sources for the pressure on the SPFL to change the venue (in rough chronological order): The fans of both Hearts and Aberdeen The Aberdeen press release Our press release Craig's comments Tom English's article The joint campaign by the Evening News and Evening Express The Police Federation Certain MPs and the matter being raised in the Scottish parliament (others? - please feel free to add) Those who appear to have said nothing or who have argued for the original decision (or at least until pressure was put on them): Celtic, including Rogers Rangers, including Gerrard SPFL SFA Police Scotland (but good on them for changing their minds) Various "Let Them Eat Cake" TV football pundits, exc. noticeably Michael Stewart I can't decide where the Rangers and Celtic fans fit into this, but the ones that may have been protesting certainly haven't been particularly vocal. This whole episode is certainly shining a spotlight on the divide in Scottish football and who is on each side of that divide.

We never sold out Easter Rd for semi final of league cup in 2014. 11k Hearts fans at that game. I want to see 30k Hearts fans at this game but that’s 3x what we done for Inverness. The ticket distribution is key to getting Hearts fans there in large numbers. What do we have, 13,000 ST holders? With 20 points for an ST I think something like 20 points gets you 3 tickets. Potential uptake of 39,000 but obviously we'd never actually shift that many since most of the people who want to go would already have enough points. Would mean people who wanted to take kids/grandparents/spouses who didn't have an account could do it. Not sure it the system allows it (it probably doesn't), but there could maybe be different tiers, 20 points gets you 3 tickets, 5/10 points gets you 1 ticket. Pretty much everyone who has been to a couple of games recently is covered. Edited October 3, 2018 by JamboJen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo poet Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 we have played more than couple of semis at Easter road (Motherwell, St. Johnstone and Caley). Hibs have played at Tynecastle.
