We don't get that, then we don't play. Simple as that. Link to comment

Give them 50%. Leave a couple of sections next to the segregation line & sell them last. if they don’t sell them say 5-7 days before the final, hand them on to the Tims who will sell them. Only in Scotland would the football authorities make such a rip roaring cunt of a simple task. And also, this reserving ends for both sets of the scum has to be stopped. On what logical basis would you make Hibs have the West end of Hamdump when they’re coming from the east side? 1 4 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 We must be the only country that has designated sections for club sides at our national stadium. Been like that since I was a kid. "Rangers end" and "Celtic end" Link to comment

Then return any you can't sell for the opposition team to sell Pretty fucking simple 1 Link to comment

I’d love it if we played the Tims in a final & Cormack publicly harangued the SFA to give us the East side of the ground on sensible geographical & logistical grounds. If the SFA say no, demand the reasons why & publicly embarrass the SFA by saying why. The “because that’s the way it’s always been” & “that’s where they’ve always sat” doesn’t wash. It’s a microcosm of the way that the football authorities think and behave in Scotland. Fuck the SFA Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 It will never change. SPFL and SFA love it the way it is. So do the chairmen. Who could forget our old chairman Stewart Milne saying it was great that Rangers were back in the top flight. Dons had won a league cup and had a couple semi decent title challenges while they were fucked, but thank god they came back. Shite Link to comment
Poodler Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Our club cares too much about doing things ‘properly’ to rock the boat like that. im still surprised the dons voted the huns out the league since made it up to them with the loving cup charade etc though. Link to comment

I'm sure Hibs fans would love to sit in the same end where they won the Scottish Cup in 2016... but as a rule they cannot against Celtic because Celtic get their own section. And their own changing room. I guess its just a small part of a bigger problem Link to comment

It honestly doesn't bother me. 50/50 allocation has to be offered though Yes it should matter. Hampden has been our national stadium for well over a century now. Given that Queens Park owned it until very recently, it could never be considered a totally neutral venue.....but you don't hear of Queen's Park ever having a "home end". If the arse cheeks reach cup finals together in future I don't give a shite if they choose to stick to the ends they consider their "own" But if only one gets there, there should be the toss of a coin to decide which end of the ground each support gets. And the starting position should be that each club gets a 50/50 split of available tickets unless they specifically request a smaller allocation at that point. If a club hasn't sold it's full allocation with 7 days to go until the final then at that point the tickets left should be offered to the opposing club. 1 2 Link to comment
afc1903mad Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I get the emotional pull of it guys. I'm just saying that fundamentally, I'm not bothered about which end I sit in. The allocation (stadium end) should be based on who's drawn out first, so whether it was Celtic v Hibs or Hibs v Celtic, hoe team drawn out first gets a pre-set end. the problem is if the draw ended up Rangers v Celtic or Celtic v Rangers depending on which end The 50/50 allocation should also mean that the split occurs from the halfway point of the North Stand Link to comment
