The logistics and policing should determine it. Murrayfield has superb facilities (quoted by many press people when it was up for debate of replacing Hampden) travel wise its a lot easier to bring Celic fans through and send Aberdeen fans to Glasgow than it is to have people going back and forth to Glasgow and Edinburgh at the same time which is logistically and policing wise a difficult thing to do. You really are digging a hole and to say things like its exclusively a Rugby stadium is ridiculous. Its multi purpose and has coped with all sorts of events over the year and logistically has coped with near capacity football matches and 67000 rugby fans and all the transport and policing issues that brings.

Kendoll Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 To be honest, I'd rather we played at Hampden and the other was held at Murrayfield. It's a semi final and the day gets treated as such. The early rise, the beers before the M8, the few shandies before the stadium, and even though its a hole, being in Hampden, is all part of the occasion. Don't think its quite the same having a few pints in the Mill then walking to the stadium. Result is all that matters but purely selfishly, I'd rather go through there.

Ministry of Football Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If it irritates Celtic, we must be on the right track. Hearts will not travel in substantial numbers to Hampden for a league cup semi and will only take 10-15k, tops. Our only chance of matching Celtic, support wise, is if it is at Murrayfield. The capacity at Murrayfield is also 17,000 bigger, therfore the scope for making substantially more money, even after paying the SRU is outstanding. This is a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Really surprised this hasn't already been confirmed. Moving the games to the Sunday is to Celtic's benefit otherwise there'd be no problem. But somehow, they are the losers in this. The fact there is a delay in announcement suggests SPFL listening to Lawwell. Ridiculous if this goes to a draw to decide! Logistically, if a game needs to be moved under these circumstances, it is our game. Celtic playing at Hampden has a bigger impact on the logistics. Both Hearts and Celtic have played competitive games at Murrayfield, so there is no advantage other than the ground being in Edinburgh. Can imagine Rodgers moaning that we have an advantage because the pitch at Murrayfield is the same as at Tynecastle but Celtic haven't had a chance to experience it on short grass yet.
