Forza ragazzi!!!! 💜⚜️💜 Thanks for the support and kind messages fron you guys....we now have a chance of the double (or even just the one trophy after 22 years) Hope we meet again in Europe at some point later 👍 Congrats, well deserved on tonights performance. Seems to me to be a very 50-50 final. Disappointing venue (all be it in a fantastic city) given the numbers from both clubs who would have loved tickets! How many tickets have Fiorentina been given for Rome next Wednesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing venue (all be it in a fantastic city) given the numbers from both clubs who would have loved tickets! How many tickets have Fiorentina been given for Rome next Wednesday? I'm not actually sure. It was the usual 2k tonight but for a domestic final I think it's probably around 15k + in Rome. According to the BBC, Prague is a tiny venue of under 20k so each side gets only 5k with the other half going corporate which is outrageous. In any case, as I'm a teacher I can't take time off for either cup final on a Wednesday night. Gutted bit I'll try to get down the pub to get some atmosphere instead of sitting at home! Hope you grab 3rd or even 4th as a European experience does us all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be amazing but most fans would gladly take one cup right now after waiting so long. Either gets Europa League qualification too, which we'll need due to poor league form. It'll be tougher against Inter than West Ham I suspect, unless they decide to rest a couple of players on Wednesday with CL final a priority? Did beat them at San Siro a few weeks ago but that was before they went on a run of form. Fingers crossed anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Delighted for Fiorentina to make it to the final. Always had a wee soft spot for them in Serie A and would be great to see them lift a European trophy. My old man likes West Ham so part of me wouldn't mind seeing them win it too much, but I'll be backing La Viola. 💜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Am I correct in thinking that if Fiorentina win the final, they'll be the 3rd team to win a European trophy after playing Hearts along the way?

gregzy2k7 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Fair play to them, just shows you what level of opponent that we were actually up against in europa conference league this season, it's frightening that a team who are joint 9th in Serie A are in a European cup final and completely destroyed us over 2 legs, the gulf in resources between us and these teams are massive and I suppose comparable to the gulf between us and the Old firm, I don't know what the answer is on closing such a gap? Only thing I can think of is by some miracle we have a wealthy foundation of hearts billionaire investor amongst us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Hamburg during the season after they won the Cup Winners Cup and went to see them play Sarajevo at home. When we went for tickets at the ticket office in the city, they had pennants of all the clubs they faced during their successful run to the cup, including of course Hearts, displayed on the wall behind the counter.

A collective groan went up round Tynecastle when it became obvious that our tactics were to sit back and invite them onto us.
