I think whatever its going to look pretty full on Sunday. The club have certainly been vindicated going for 50/50 split and must help the players to have one side Hearts.

I think they're a mixture of the groundsman's sit down mowers and some of the more friendly police horses, both of which can be sat on during the game. Remember to bring a carrot and a lump of sugar for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveandal Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Dot count update. Probably the last unless I get bored / tipsy tonight or tomorrow. Between 2pm and 4pm today 25 tickets sold. Meaning Between 11am and 4pm today we've sold 73 tickets. Much slower pace than the rest of the week but still very good IMO. There are currently 132 seats available for purchase. Mainly single dots or pairs BUT section H5 has loads together so any families are groups still on the fence you can get seats together and they'll have a good view. Joel Sked reported this morning the official figure was over 19k sold. Given sales today we must be over 19.1k. Tiny side note. Couple of pale blue seats in there now so people still looking. Brilliant effort from everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 2 minutes ago, RustyRightPeg said: 21 I think. Thats really really good. I hope that the notion of unequal splits can be put to bed now. If the club is prepared to "buy" the full 50% allocation then the SFA really don't have a leg to stand on. Only in Scotland have the weegies managed to weasel the prospect of a 50/50 ticket split as an outragous demand. Boils my piss. Neutral venue, unless we're willing to forgo tickets, the starting position MUST be 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Sked's 19K number hit the press I'd expect it to be a few hundred behind the true total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd never beaten Rangers under JJ, and so didn't expect to in the Cup Final either - until a tiny wee glimmer of hope emerged when the news broke that ALbertz & Gazza wouldn't be playing. In 2012, we expected to win .... with just that tiny wee bit trepidation that we might not. 😏 Edited April 19 by Lone Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up some of that raw emotion and sheer joy from my mate who sent me a massive Hearts care package, with multiple pinks, cuttings, etc. We'll all be there on Sun, him and our kids so I'm hoping for something similar. I did enjoy 2012 immensely, although for me personally it was tinged somewhat with grief from the day before, from back in the community in which I lived, back in Canada. Still, my dad came over from the otherside of Hospitality to congratulate us post-match, he was happy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 The 2012 semi was great , in no small part because not many of us felt we would win . We did not have a huge crowd , but the atmosphere towards the end was electric . The club are far more proactive in trying to sell itself nowadays , and the final total for this tie will be impressive . I predict we will sell more than 20 thousand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
