But we have to play it at Hamdump it's ra home of Scottish fitbaw it's a shithole Murryfield bigger ground more fans but at least another 8'500 fans f each team could be there . Yea it makes great sense to play it at Hamdump to much vested interest by the blazers to give a shit about the fans. Spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 1 hour ago, mscjambo said: You make a very good point. Hampden is an awful stadium. It stinks of the old school SFA mafia of the west, paying a part time club millions to buy a wreck of a football stadium not fit for purpose. The SFA are the biggest issue at all levels of our game. From the national team to player pathways and fan experiences. Unfortunately it will never change... Ah, but remember. The West are the football people of the country. Us through here are token football lovers who prefer rugby and wouldn’t have a clue how to run the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley_ Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) The sales so far don't tell us anything. We don't know how many eligible supporters there are at the moment. I've already had people asking me for tickets who don't qualify to buy one yet. Having a couple of mates who are season ticket holders but not going doesn't indicate anything about the overall support. We will easily sell out if tickets are made available to all supporters.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I cant imagine, however remote the chance of winning the thing, taking the chance of not being there when Hearts won the cup. Either lame, bitter beyond words or cutting nose off to spite face, but that's a choice we all have.

I agree with you but I cant ever remember our support being so despondent going into a Cup Final. Ive been at every Cup Final since 86 and everyone of them I felt we were going to win or at least had a great chance of winning. We are in horrendous form. Our talisman who we are all praying is going to be fit hasnt even started running yet, never mind training. Our main striker off with a tight hamstring on Saturday. Our manager is clueless. Its all doom and gloom just now and I honestly believe that Celtic will destroy us on that big Hampden pitch. My Day who is a die hard and who has been following Hearts since the early 60's is away on holiday for the final and cant make it. He would have usually be spewing at even the thought of missing a Cup Final but he is actually glad he is away and missing it. What does that tell you. Make no mistake we are in this Cup Final because of a dream draw. 2 Championship teams, a junior side and Live at home. Doesnt get much better. We need a miracle come the 25th of May and if one does happen then I will be there to witness it. Edited May 6, 2019 by Lambo85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it hard to disagree with any of your post. It is with feint hope we travel, but cup football has seen some turn ups over time. Celtic have not been great but still ahead of everyone by a good distance. Maybe they turn up without their A game and we play the game of our lives. Still I don't see who is getting the goal.

The Gretna final still rankles with me. My dad, brother and myself were at about a dozen games that season, including semi. None of us had ST though.

My and my laddies were at the semi after 2 of them queued up for 6 hours to get tickets so I felt sure that we'd get them for the final seen as we got around 37/38000.
