It doesn't even make sense. Either Celtic have not taken 30k to Hampden since 2014 or its not considered a traveling support. Yet it then states poor souls had made travel arrangements for the game to be played at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each tram can carry 200 max, ten per hour = 2000 people, in each direction. Expected crowd is 60000 ??? A lot of people from Dublin and Belfast will also be using trams from the airport. There is a flight from Dublin that lands at about 11:10 (as well as several earlier) and one from Belfast that lands at about 10:10. The trams may be more problematical after the game. May be easier to walk in to Haymarket*, or find a friendly pub in the Gorgie area and wait for the crowds to fall away. *IIRC, after the Rangers game at Murrayfield last season, not all trams were stopping at Haymarket - as they would have been too full to stop at Murrayfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the tram stop is at our end of the stadium, Hearts fans will have first shout at the trams. Providing you are not hanging about too long after the game, you should avoid the mhanky mob on the trams shortly after the game. Before that will be fun & games for the Police.

Swings in roundabouts if you look back at figures, also think we we're around 14k last time on a Sunday at Hampden. Hopefully for us, it's a sign of things to come. Don't think any of it is comparable for both clubs, guess is my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right; although when I said trams may be problematical, I was thinking just in terms of the sheer number of our fans wanting to get on at Murrayfield. Reflecting on what I said about walking to Haymarket to get less-packed trams, I remember that after similar post-match segregations, away fans can get to Haymarket via Corstophne Road and so on in not much less time than Harts fans can along Gorgie Road and Dalry Road.
