The old demons semi in 2012 has rumbled on I see. Can’t remember where I read it but I think we got an allocation of 18K. We sold sections round to about two shy of the North Stand. That’s about 9/10K. Say a couple of thousand in the South, where I was, and the popular prediction of 12K looks accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days of yore Cup matches generally brought in bigger crowds than league games. Probably reflects the cup competition losing status and the far wider use of season tickets that only cover league matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How little was there? Both goal ends hold over 13,000 There’s approx 14 sections in the West Stand, circa 1000 or just over a in a section, give or take subtle amounts between them. So say, 4000 short at worst. 4 unsold areas were the segregation, otherwise we sold the rest of the West plus a 5 sections of the bottom South. Must’ve been a kick in the arse off 12.

Today's game is very important to both team Dave. We need to use it as a means of creating a confidence factor before we go into this closing 11 league games. Rangers need to win as this trophy is their last chance of stopping another Celtic treble. I suspect they were worried about the possibility of the home support getting behind the team and lifting the players again, just as happened in the recent league game. One way of making sure there weren't as many HMFC fans there today as there should be was by pushing for high tickets prices, and you have to give them some due, it has worked. The fun for the authorities starts if this game and the St Mirren v Aberdeen games end up as draws. The cup ties take priority for completion by all accounts so our game versus Hibs would be off on Tuesday, as would the game versus St Mirren due on 11 March, meaning potentially we could be going down to Easter Roas either Tuesday or Wednesday 10/11 March. While I'd love to see us win today I still feel that maintaining our position in the top league is more important overall. Dropping back down to the Championship at the same time as FoH take over as the major shareholding effectively means these last few years have been a bit of a waste as we will be back where it all started. But that doesn't translate as stop supporting the team. Edited February 29, 2020 by portobellojambo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
