? ? We only win a trophy every 50 years so we'll have to wait another 3 years for a tin cup. Which one of the '21 legnds that beat the gers was he if you don't mind me asking? 

 

Might win League One in a years time?

Those who chose to go watch us hammer a Junior side should not get the same chance of a ticket for this one as someone who went to Aberdeen right before Christmas. 

 

This one should absolutely be decided by a Loyalty Point threshold since this is exactly the scenario the system was created for. 

Totally agree with this PD. Why should someone be more deserving for goint to both cup games at home over fans that have been to Killie on a cold Friday night, Aberdeen the Saturday before Xmas, Dundee on a Tuesday night or any of the games away at the erse cheeks? The LP system is more than fair and all it requires is that you follow your club away from home. 

 

Im sure there are some that will get a ticket for this game that don’t deserve one but for the majority that do, then it only seems fair to me. 

 

Im guaranteed 8 for this fixture but will only take the two I want through the LP system.

It’s the same people trotting out the same tired arguments that bore me. 

 

Usually pushed by the ones who don’t have enough points. “Aye, but I went to the Talbot game”. 

 

Aye, well done you.

And how do we accommodate 13,000 season ticket holders into a 2,000 capacity stand for this one?

 

Straight to public sale. First come first served. Get those queues snaking around to Russell Road in the pishing rain

Never going to happen. Theres a system in place that rewards loyalty. Deal with it.

Can you not get a decent view from the hill on the corner outside the ground? Sure I've seen folk up there. Could call ot Hartley Hill.

Been to Firhill when we put up with these kind of games in front of a crowd that you could swing your cat in

Think it's possible that you'll either get the old stand & the one behind the goal OR you'll get the big JH stand. We're well used to moving seats for the FTOF and usually don't bother attending when they roll their filth into Firhill (think only 1.2k home fans showed up for our last home game v Smellik). 

 

It's a tough one to decide on as the cup usually brings out the extended families to swell the usual support - from my own perspective my wife/kids & two brothers from down south will be coming back for this one with their bairns... so from two usual stalwarts will be swollen to about a dozen. 

 

Our board will want to see the place rammed full but either way it won't placate the vast majority of your ST holders - wouldn't mind a trip to Murrayfield but unlikely while the eggchasing six nations is still on.

Best draw we could have got,  bar being at home,  i panicked  when Partick came out knowing hibs and celtic were 

still in the draw, great when we were pulled out .

Alphabetical order is probably the fairest way to do it.

I think it would be better to have a new route this time - down South Bridge and across the meadows to Dundee Street, say

Same day as the PRO 14 final and the wife's team Leinster will be likely be in final.

 

Likely to start just after 5 at Celtic Park.

 

I've said I'll try and be there.  Hopefully  I'll will be kidnapped back to Edinburgh.

 

Hearts, Leinster, Munster plus a.n other in Glasgow all at same time.

Walter Borthwick - if you look at the official photo taken at the start of the following season ( no official photo survives from the Cup Final) he is Top Right

[Victorian]

Everyone write a letter explaining why they should have a ticket.    Tickets allocated on a 'most demented' basis.    Letters published online with names and Kickback usernames.

 

Nothing could be fairer.

I'm all for this.

[gashauskis9]

As much as I want to get to this one, I only have 45 LPs so I’ll happily miss out if it means someone who stood behind a goal freezing his nuts off in the highlands gets a ticket instead.

 

No complaints from me.  I’ll be at the semi and the final.

We’ll hopefully get the JH stand.

About 80 if it's 2,000 tickets

tried to book the final off. Unfortunately the whole of May is fully booked  I have a good feeling this season too. A sickie is also out the question as my manager keeps an eye on our results too.

But they will be using them...because it works and has been shown to work for a good number of years.

No amount of " why don't we..." on here will change that.

We let them off big time. They should be eternally grateful we chose to stop at five for some strange reason. Big mistake on our part but a glorious day of course.

If it had been any more we would have lost thousands of photo opportunities because we couldn't do the 5-1.

The LP system is absolutely fine and those that complain about it are usually the ones who don’t bother with many away games etc.

 

Those that go every week home and away rightly deserve priority and the LP system does that.  

 

I think that some kind of LP system is the right way to go, but I don't think it is calibrated fairly. For example, someone who has had a season ticket for decades gets the same as someone who has had a ST for two seasons, and someone who has had a ST for decades (putting thousands into the club) may be behind someone who has contributed less to Hearts' coffers but goes to many away games. Those of us who kept the club alive should get the priority (and, of course, the vast majority of travelling fans are themselves ST holders), so FoH membership should also count.

 

In my opinion, the LP system should prioritise something like this (but I don't think it does):

 

1 people who are ST holders, FoH members AND go to away games / home cup games

2 people who are ST holders and FoH members

3 people who are ST holders and go to away games / home cup games

4 people who are ST holders

5 people who go to away games / home cup games but do not have STs

 

Anyway, should we get to Hampden, and I take nothing for granted (we're not the Old Firm), I'm sure that every ST holder will get a ticket. Here's hoping. A day out in Maryhill would be a bonus for those lucky enough.

Strange how the people who complain about the LPs system also don’t attend away games. ???.

I attend more away games than most but I don't always buy tickets through the club. Most away games are pay at the gate and sitting on the phone for ages is just a pain in the arse.

Good chance we won't be on the box again....which is great news.

West End is always a decent pre-match location !

 

I'd imagine all 4 games will be on TV, but for those games involving Premier League clubs the games will have to be played on Saturday, Sunday and potentially Monday. Either that or there will be two games kicking off at different times on either the Saturday or Sunday. Because there is a full SPL fixture list on Wednesday 27 February (we play Celtic at Tynecastle) the earliest any of the SPL teams can play again is on the Saturday. The game involving Dundee United and either ICT or Ross County could be played on the Friday night (if it ends up Dundee Utd against ICT it means they will play each other twice in 3 days).
