SectionDJambo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The SFA don’t care about the punters, as long as all arrangements are convenient for them. A showpiece tournament being reduced to random kick off times with absolutely no thought for fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 19 minutes ago, Sir PH said: It won't. Whatever allocation we get, we will sell. We certainly will. But, have you seen the photo on the Hearts web-site? Can you even imagine what it could be like should it be a wet & windy night? Our away end at Thessanoliki was a death trap, but at least it was still 20 odd degrees come end of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS98 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 16 minutes ago, Sir PH said: It won't. Whatever allocation we get, we will sell. It doesn’t matter what our initial allocation is, that can change easily. Its the amount of fans now unable to go. If you think that the same amount of fans can/will make a game in Greenock on a Monday night that would say a Saturday or Sunday 3pm then you’re sadly mistaken I’m afraid.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Monday is a bit shite, but the traffic etc is the same as a Tues/wed pm league or league Cup game. Mondays are a bit quieter post covid anaw. Still a bit shite tho, not a fam of Monday night football, the Friday night game BT had going was good, no OF either.

south morocco Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 As usual the OF get the favourable kick off times due to Viaplay OF Tv. The clubs must have agreed this though at the start of the season which is very annoying. Scottish football showing again its run for two clubs only.

I would expect our club to stand up for the fans and call this out. Totally unacceptable scheduling. I reckon the TV stations just tell the clubs when they want the games to be played and there's little we can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 A massive get it right up you to fans of Kilmarnock and Hearts. Do the people running our game actually want stadiums to be full or as full as possible? It sure doesn't seem like it. Still, the scheduling worked out nicely for fans of the Old Firm.

It's not a great ko time, but it's hardly going to Inverness or Dingwall. In relation to starting from where PH? To get to Greenock the majority will be travelling via at least two, or three possible pinch points of travel and at terrible times. Inverness or Dingwall although a long way is one straight journey via way less congested roads for the majority who go. We may still sell our allocation, hope so for the players sake and our chances of winning the tie but Greenock will be a mare to get to for 6.30 and a pint or two.

ToadKiller Dog Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Why is a late kick off Saturday not avaliable ? Not as if the bbc scotland channel is competing with the epl for views. Scotland are in Italy for the egg ball chasing . Is it because the bbc can't cover 2 live games on same day?. Has there been a reason given for Monday night . I can go as I'm on holiday so travelling no probs ,just don't see why a Monday night . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
