joondalupjambo Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) 21 minutes ago, been here before said: Last time I done it you didnt find out until you rocked up and got the ticket. As I recall it was advertised as the South Stand, turned out strictly speaking it was as it was in section I but shite seats. Wouldnt do it again without knowing exactly where the seats are. 👍 Totally agree. A few of my mates have it. I stopped going to Hampden years ago in a group because each time we ended up in the worst sections with rubbish views. Think some of them fell out with me when I pulled out 😀 Ever since I have gone in two's or on my own and every time bagged a decent seat. In D3 this time about third way back so tactic still working for me😀 Johnny no mates though 😀 Edited March 28 by joondalupjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a terrible match day experience for fans for what is supposed to be the national stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I’ve worked in Hampden and priced work I didn’t get.Several visits in different parts of the stadium were a real eye opener.What we as fans see is indeed a *** shit hole but the beeks part is quite incredible - no expense spared,3/4 of the money to upgrade Hampden was spent on the SFA offices and receptions.Has to be seen to be believed.

Maybe it's my age but I only see Hampden as having one stand, the other three sides are seated terracing, a bit like the benches in the shed at Tynecastle or the old beach end at Pittodrie or the seated enclosure behind the goals at Easter Road, except the seats have a back and a number.

The likelihood of getting beat is more significant than the occasion in the minds of a large number of the fanbase. Feel a bit sorry for those at the club who took the bold decision to pay up front to try cater for as many Hearts fans as possible. We are likely going to take flak for ‘locking out’ huns with a big empty section behind the goal and can’t argue that we don’t deserve it. I’m all for an empty seat than one of them filling it, just a pity there won’t be a full Hearts end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the club done exactly what everyone wanted by getting 50/50 because of all those moaning about the league cup semi about not getting 50/50. What pissses me off is how do we expect the players to believe we can win when they run-out to empty sections. Just makes us look like a micky mouse club.

A lot of them are pensioners who have seen enough defeats against the Old Firm at Hampden and don't fancy games against them. Down south most teams get more than their standard home crowds at cup semi finals but for us against the Old Firm getting our usual home crowd is a great effort.

I’m all for an empty seat than one of them filling it, just a pity there won’t be a full Hearts end. To be fair if the 'club' aren't knowledgeable enough to know themselves that selling 21,000 was a serious stretch for this particular game then they clearly don't have their finger on the pulse of the overall fanbases mood and pessimism over the fixture. Many fans who are attending could easily have told them what was realistic for this game given the dire performances against Rangers (twice in under 2 years we've gone there and not laid a glove on them) and the lack of appetite for the journey and 'experience' etc from a mixture of diehards and more casual fans alike. That said I totally applaud their fighting for the 50-50 even if it means they will have to take a bit of a financial hit. It will be interesting to see after the holiday weekend if they have plans to get a bit creative to punt more tickets, whether they are going to drop LP's, allow us to buy further tickets if we have 20+ pts or whether they are going to say the club are paying for 1000 tickets in one section for local families or kids of specie schools in the area or whatever. It would seem stupid if they do end up having to pay for a couple of thousand seats to leave them empty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
