I'm a lot less nervous being at a Hearts game than watching on TV, listening on radio or keeping up in any other way. Must be something in it. I’m not sure why though, it’s not like you can just turn it off when there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinRummy Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) 33 minutes ago, RedStarRiot said: So saying you should borrow money to attend football is sensible? The “I’ve borrowed money” in the past line does imply that others clearly don’t want to go to the same lengths to watch their team. you’re right, I have no idea of your situation and I don’t really care either. I can only make assumptions based on your posts and if you say idiotic things then what do you expect? Been caught up talking shite? I think we’ve confirmed most folk going will be having a few drinks and food hence the additional cost. Regardless the game and transport itself if +£50. I’ll be getting drinks and food however so it will be around the £100 mark. FFS, let it go. All I said was it doesn’t costs 100 to go to the game next Sunday. The next thing you’re all wound up questioning my financial competence. Now I was implying this and you’re assuming that. Let’s just say you won. It costs 100 quid to go to the game and I’m a financial incompetent encouraging others to be the same. Edited April 13 by GinRummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If losing to Rangers at Hampden is the worst thing that happens to any of us on the 21st then we're laughing handbags. Not sure i said it was electric chair or worse thing to happen to me.

Also the idea that failing to sell out 100% can and will be used against us by the SFA so they can throw more tickets at the Weegie teams is disgusting. Its a neutral venue. Failing to provide both teams 50% of the tickets fails to provide a neutral venue. If one team is happy to take a lesser allocation, fine. But the starting position needs to 50/50. Its an absolutely rotten culture thats been allowed to develop from this. And its a Sunday!!I will be there but have a few mates that just can't go due to Monday morning commitments.

EH11 2NL Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It's not really anyone's business why people aren't going. I couldn't make one of the recent home games, can't even remember what one, and you had pricks on here giving it large about a lower crowd and why people aren't there, when they have no idea about people's individual situations. Personally don't understand why people choose not to go because of who we are playing, that's a tiny minority though. Others have loads going on. Only thing that's a fact if we don't sell out, if we make the final we won't be given 50/50 (queue a hypocritical meltdown) I hope the club would look to offer final tickets to those that went to the semi final first.

I’d say that is a fair old chunk of our support. if it was hibs or Aberdeen we’d sell 30,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Not going as I am a shit fan nowadays and see this only going one way. We will lose of course. Just so sick of the Old Firm. I absolutely ****ing despise them. I also despise Glasgow and Glaswegians with an all consuming passion. We just can't beat Rangers nowadays. We have even found a way to beat Celtic but play like pussies v Rangers. I think we have beaten a Brendan Rogers Celtic team more times than Rangers have beaten them. I'm just so ****ing bored of it all tbh. Even the sight of that ***** Tavernier makes me want to punch something. Respect to all you Jambos going, I hope we do it for you all.

Its an absolutely rotten culture thats been allowed to develop from this. Exactly make no mistake the Glasgow cabals will use these tactics the next time we face them in a semi or final and the time after that and time after that On the next occasion if our form leading up to that game is poor we possibly won’t sell as many tickets for a game against an old firm opponent as we will on this occasion, are we to have this threat of a lesser allocation held over us for every game at Hampden. 50-50 split for Hearts and every club who play at a neutral venue, and who gives a **** what it looks like on some satellite Tv channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I am not going as I am a shitebag and don't back the club who have gone the extra mile to secure a 50/50 split for us. Will be at the final though if we make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Don't see why people are so annoyed and defensive about the original post, the ticket issue is under scrutiny in the media at the moment and it's understandable the OP would ask why they are not getting sold.

Whilst I get your logic , the ST holders should rightfully be given first dibs given its likely even a 50/50 split will be less given all the sponsor tickets etc the SFA have to give away.

ElGee1973 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Renewed my season tickets just as the semi tickets were on sale. Saw it as better value for money. Also working that day. The cost of the semi tickets were laughable. The behaviour of OF fans in & around Glasgow is also another reason that’s put me off. Have previous in encounters with both sides that almost ended in scrapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philfigo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I had thought of every reasons not to go! But the overriding emotion was how would I feel if this was the time and I missed it. One day it will be our day at Hampden Vs them but to get there we might have to watch some beatings but that one time we do it will live forever in the memories off all who can say they were there. Man the **** up if you had the same thoughts as me initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
